Moot's Minnesota Mafia took it. (it's what 3M really stands for).

Hope your insurance coverage is good.

Piper1 Tech Tip of the Day. When crawling under your truck to do small parking lot type adjustments or repairs... Check for ants first. The orange/reddish ones do not like it when you are in their space....and will let you know it.

That is a great pic Hummer!

Is Monday a UAW holiday?

That statement right there proves you don't understand how an emission system works or whoever you are talking to doesn't or you aren't understanding what they are telling you.

"he common problem of the particulate filters only lasting less than half there expected lifespan before having to be cooked off because of blockage on the face." Well aware of that...still has nothing to do with DEF...the system that is AFTER the particulate filter I "Googled it" and the...

Always read his stuff. Sad to hear this.

If that is your attitude when you walk into a shop...you will get the go away type of answers too likely. The guy on the shop floor at the dealer (or Engine dealer) has likely had dozens of hours of training each year for the past 10 years or so..just on emissions crap. He also (unfortunately)...

Well...I thought I was being nice....anyways...here goes. The only "DEF heating process" is the small heater in the DEF tank that thaws frozen fluid...that's it. The "excess carbon"...I'm assuming you mean particulates or soot...that normally builds up in the DPF is burned off in the...

Kevin, no one disagreed with the sentiment of your post...that these systems are trouble...what was called into question was your technical reasoning. I am a fully certified tech and while doing expedite I still work with some fleets on their maintenance issues. DEF has nothing to do with...

Might be helpful if you narrowed it down a bit beyond "reefer". There are a few different models and even manufacturers out there...and they don't all build them the exact same way.

While Espar of MI is certainly the Cadillac of installs, there are lot of cheaper options. I can't speak to the current Espar product, but if you are at all mechanically handy, a Webasto is a super easy install yourself.

Espar and Webasto both make excellent and completely 100% safe gasoline fueled units. Your "dealer" is a dummy or...didn't have a gas one to sell you.

The J fuel stop (or it's employees) in Mississauga (west Toronto) is doing the selling spots for local drivers thing. Considering there are only about a dozen or so spots, they are almost always gone. Also, if you do find an empty spot you will very likely find someone blocking you in when you...

Isn't that a wonderful coincidence....your lowest MPG occurred at your highest PPG. Nice stats Moot.

Whoever is doing your Webasto install....if they are cutting fuel lines on a new Sprinter to feed it...they don't know what they are doing and the resulting fire ball will likely clue them in.

It amazes me the number of folks who don't have an Espar or Webasto. In a van the payback can be in as little as 4 months... Even faster in a bigger truck... And that's just in the fuel savings let alone the engine wear and emissions junk. They last a LONG time and need very little maintenance...
