[QUOTE="alex3610, post: 11277155, member: 114652"] Caterpillar had some major problems with their 07 EPA products. Cost them big money. We had a Cat C8 i think in a new 07 rig at my old job and it was constantly in the shop for emissions related problems. I got home late last night from Wisconsin doing final inspection on 5 new rigs we just bought. These will be our first that have the DPF and the DEF/Urea injection. Just looking at how the exhaust is routed is a nightmare. These are firetrucks by the way and do lots of idling, and lots of short trips. Passive regeneration probably won't be happening much, and I can see lots of our people avoiding doing a manual regen. The mfg told us the man regen takes about 20 minutes to complete. What happens if we catch a run in the middle of that? Got to stop and start all over again later. I have a bad feeling this is going to lead to a lot of plugged up DPF's, check engines lights, and rigs stuck in limp mode that have to go out of service. FYI some of these are Cummins ISL's and some are Detroit DD13's. This new EPA stuff is a NIGHTMARE in my opinion. Added something around 10-12k on the cost of our new rigs. [/QUOTE]
