Sweet! I found the video I was talking about. Its worth the watch! Look at the people talking and you will see the International LoneStar in the background. Its a winefest by Navistar.... Cry Cry....
The Freightliner actually derates. It's top speed it limited to 55mph, and that annoying beep keeps going. I'd say for a trucker that beep alone would be enough for me to pull over.

You found it! That's exactly what I was referring to!
So Paul, if you have to cut the DPF out then how would you reassemble it? What's the procedure for this?
Also is the "torpedo" marked as to where to cut in order to remove the DPF? Is this a procedure that can be done at home or will it require a trip to the shop?

Paul,
That's really an amazing amount of background information. Almost feels like a PBS NOVA or Frontline program that dives deep into all the technical and political aspects of meeting the EPA requirements. This type of insider view really helps one understand difficulties of balancing all these requirements while trying to deliver a mass-market product.
Is the current system solely Ford developed or was there any collaboration inside the manufacturing industry to settle on the current solution? Heaven forbid that Ford and GM would get together on something but I can scarcely begin to appreciate the value of the resources invested in this.
And Navistar's continued tantrum proclaiming that EGR solutions are better is simply getting tired. How long will they continue to scream that everyone else is wrong when it is they that are the only marchers in the parade out of step? Is it any wonder why Ford could not suffer the self-righteous sanctimony any more? Sheeze!

I can't, or more accurately, wont comment on NAV/ITEC. They have some legitimate gripes, and it's how some OEMs implemented certain aspects of their SCR systems. There are ways to monitor NOx conversion and it would appear that some aren't. This will be corrected I'm sure.
