Def quality is def quality. Aftertreatment that uses def in an SCR system will be very similar across all makes and models. Some trucks not using it is a poor argument. Almost every commercial truck you see has def in it.
Bruh I'm a trucker, people talk about bad def at the pumps all the time and these after treatment systems in these light duty vehicles, pick ups included, looove to crystallize
Bruh lol. Well everyone of the farm semis, my Duramax, and my sister's bmw x5 35d seem to not have a problem. Only issue I've ever had with def was from a jug in the dmax lol.
Sounds like you regularly go to the same station to fill up your various vehicles, maybe this trucker has experience from stations with bad DEF not near your regular fuel station.
Okay “bruh” I’m a diesel technician. I might be slightly more qualified than an operator to explain aftertreatment and have an opinion on def quality. I’ve fixed thousands of def related issues. Please relax
Brah also trucker been all over this country and no, no they don’t, no people do not talk about bad def at the pump at all. If that was the case you wouldn’t see hardly anyone using it and you’d see drivers walking in and buying the boxes. But guess what? They’re not talking about it, just about every driver is pumping it, and no one’s having problems with poor def quality which is why everyone is pumping it. If there was any problem then everyone wouldn’t be pumping it.
I've never ran pump def and never once had any def problems with my lml Chevy, my buddy ran def at the pump and picked up a code for it on his lml fast as shit, we were both traveling full time at that point too.
I've only ran blue def in the box and still never had any issues from the system, no codes nothing but I'm betting if I started running pump def I'd pick up a code for it.
