Is DEF/DPF that bad?
Things I've heard:
1. If you don't run wide open long enough the back pressure from the soot buildup will damage engine.
2. DEF damages stuff when it leaks.
3. Engine stays choked for power.
4. All the crud is burned out eventually making the system essentially useless... Like poopin in a bag and saying you're not pooping, then dumping it later.
5. Prone to failure.
As most of us have, I'm considering a tractor with DEF. But I'm nervous about it because the EPA doesn't usually change things for the better or care about the end product at all.
