Some are missing the point but most seem to get what I am saying and that it has nothing to do with the useage of the DEF but the longevity of the system itself as an emission control device which could possibly effect resale of the vehicle down the road due to the additional fuel system. Thanks for the responses, Darrin
There have not been any issues that would cause engineers to find a different solution to diesel NOx emmisions. While DEF equipped 3/4 and 1-ton trucks have only had it since 2011, there are other vehicles that used it back to 2008 I believe. Many vehicles with 200k+ miles. DPF in general seems to have more long term issues but I don''t see that going away anytime soon either.
