If i'm buying a $60,000 truck I don't think I'm going to chance homebrewing DEF when I can completely fill it every 7000 miles or so for $20.

It let's you know at 800 miles to go that you need it bad. It has a graduated automatic shutdown procedure that eventually ends with "if you shut it off, it will not re-start". It really should not be an issue. Cheezit told me the truck's sensor knows the difference between DEF and distilled water. It looks like my truck will go 5500 miles or so on one tankful. I put the 2 1/2 gallons in at 3500 and the monitor was happy.
