It does - the system derates the engine until refilled, then won't turn on at all without it.


Yep. Engine derates, game over. Truck ain't moving.

What cracks me up is we have a handful of Google Warriors who wouldn’t know DEF if you poured it over their heads trying to argue the benefits of it. Once even cited a “5% increase in fuel efficiency”.

I’ll let you testify, you know and work with DEF machines and/or trucks. You tell me. Is having these Tier-4 emissions systems and their 5% increase in fuel efficiency worth the added expense of (1) DEF (2) maintenance (3) repairs and (4) downtime? Or does factors 1-4 completely erase that 5% fuel efficiency?
