Be happy to and I’ll type slowly for your benefit. The mission systems problems including the entire DEF system are not specific to the sprinter van. These emission issues are happening industrywide with other diesel engines. Some people were under the impression that these issues were only...

with some systems that is true and with some, not. You guys just want to argue these irrelevant off topic points in an attempt to showcase what you know or may think you know. We’re so far off topic now it’s rather pointless. But, I guess I should’ve known this. These pointless childish...

Oh, you want to argue the proper use of terminology. I would have thought that you were aware that it is common place, slang if you will to refer to the entire system as the DEF system. Since is’s the DEF fluid after it’s mixed with the catalyst to release the ammonia that captures the...

Anyone interested in this topic can simply google carbon build up in desel def. apparently all these master genius ultra super techs are completely unaware of the common problem of the particulate filters only lasting less than half there expected lifespan before having to be cooked off because...

He said nothing to disagree with. He is giving a description of the system. I think we all can agree on the components of the system and each components purpose. What I attempted and failed at discussing was what problems occur when the ceramic particulate filters start to get clogged and the...

No, I’ve had enough time in the big trucks. I joined this site to look into expediting as a change of pace. You can say I don’t know what I’m talking about, but that doesn’t actually mean I don’t. You started this with your self-righteous nonsense comment about my first post. Now you’re...

All sounds great, you obviously read a few online articles and looked at a few diagrams. Tell me this, what happens when the efficiency of the def heating process is reduced. What happens to the excess carbon in the exhaust that can’t escape the system?

Nowhere in my comment did I call you a name. What I stated is common knowledge, I’m surprised more people aren’t aware of it. Maybe what we should do at this point is that you contact the engineers at Detroit, Cummings, Paccar, Peterbilt, Volvo, MAC and Freightliner. Because they are all under...

I have over three million miles in big trucks.I get a new truck every 300,000 miles, which is about every 2 to 2 1/2 years. I’be probably spent more time at the Peterbilt dealer having EGR coolers repaired and replaced because of the DEF system then you have on the road. I’ve been dealing with...

In short, everything with a DEF system has had big problems since it’s implementation. All of the big truck manufacturers( Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo etc.) All have been plagued with this problem. The issue relates to the DEF system not removing the carbon fast enough and destroying the EGR...

Ok, that"s helpful. I've been driving 18"s for over twenty years now. I think I understand why people succeed on the road and why they don't, at least in a general sense. Who's doing 3k mile perweek at $1.2 per mile or is that based on a split and loads just pay differently?

Hi, I"m very seriously considering the move from big truck to O/O sprinter van 48 state expediter. I'm trying to establish a starting point or just good idea of the average. I would like to know from experienced national sprinter van expediters monthly, quarterly or annual numbers: pay rate...
