I’m not sure how he sees it, but if you look at the big picture and consider manufacturing infrastructure, coal generated electricity, plus raw materials for the emissions equipment plus the distribution and manufacturing of DEF, and then consider mpg suffers because of this equipment, at best you’re a wash.
There’s a time and place for everything. If I operated my truck in an urban environment I’d consider keeping it soot free, but the 36 ricks of firewood I burn a winter probably add more soot than my deleted truck - but at least burning wood is CO neutral.

You have to remember that forums magnify a problem that might not be a problem in the real world. You have a very limited subset of the 6.7 owners in a single forum and then they might be in other forums under a different name. If they post in all the forums they are members, you multiply the number of complaints about a problem.
And taking the membership of one forum is 5,000 for the 6.7 or even 10,000 members, that would be a mere drop in the bucket compared to the millions of vehicles with the 6.7 installed and most with no problems being reported.

Why would they come to report all is good? If they are not having a problem, then why would they clutter up the forums with "No Problem" reports? Or even get on a forum?

When I got my first diesel it was a 6.0 and that never happened because we were busy driving rental cars while our truck was at the dealer getting fixed.

Sp you are ok adding one more thing to pollute the air. You cant say because of how electricity is produced or how DEF is produced causes more pollution makes no sense. Thats like saying eating stake causes more methane. How many people on this site have removed the pollution equipment from there truck just on this site. Now just add your name to the list. I like not having a black spot on the back of my truck. I like that I don't smell diesel exhaust.

I had an interesting experience when I quit Enerburn to try the new formulation AR6200. The first 1000 miles I still had 500 mile regen intervals, but then it started dropping until it was about 350 miles or so. I switched back to Enerburn and it didn't get better even after a couple thousand miles and towing. I finally had a 40 mile regen that only took me down to 65% DPF Full. Now I was worried. The next time the DPF got to 90%, I pulled into a remote spot and commanded a regen with my CTS. It got down to 20% and when I started driving, it dropped to 10%. I have never seen that before. 400 miles later, the DPF is at 70% so it looks like things are back to normal.
The only thing I can think of is that the AR6200 left a deposit that Enerburn couldn't deal with, but who knows? I have 1/3 bottle left so I will be ordering FBC soon.
