We recently spent a couple of weeks at a Freightliner Shop working through a cab AC issue that they couldn’t figure out with our Super C. They finally researched Service Bulletins from Freightliner regarding our issue. Not the best time ever, but all part of the journey. Luckily, they had electrical hookups and a dump station. Glad your issue was resolved. Beer makes everything better! Safe Travels!
Long comment here: So while I’m sorry you got the dreaded DEF code but kind of glad you did so you could share with all of us! We recently got the Amber DEF code while traveling through Eastern Washington in 100+ degree weather with five dogs. I panicked and the husband was cool as could be. We had it at Freightliner PNW they couldn’t figure it out cleared the code. So next trip out came on again. Like you made several calls. Got FCCC involved and the service manager at Freightliner. Found a faulty valve. Claims its fixed….we have our next trip in two weeks. I fully expect it to come on again but at least after seeing your video I feel like I can deal with it better. Our unit is a 2020 new to us and has that Scan Gauge and I had no idea what it does. Looks like I need to do some Google research to figure out how to use it. Thank you again. You have a new follower - really enjoy your videos! Safe travels.!!
We feel your frustration. Let's hope that your rig is indeed fixed. Keep us posted. PS: Give tummy rub to those FIVE dogs for us. Finally -- someone who is just as crazy about pups as we are!
So glad you are back and made it through an "adventurous" few days there! You have that ability to just "go with the flow" and not get too flustered, at least not on camera! Of course, that wouldn't be keeping it classy. Any hints on where you'll be during the Fall and Winter months? Wishing you safe and enjoyable travels always!
The "on camera" is right on point. There were many f-bombs thrown when we were trying to test the DEF sensor simulator. We're still in the air on where we will be the next few months, but it is probably not where you would think....
The idea behind DEF isn't necessarily bad; it's just the execution in the system. We are hoping that the newer systems get better. (And thank you for watching...as always!)
@ClassCBroads the problem with DEF, in my opinion, is that you get worse MPG (approximately 2 MPG) than without it, and you throw out multiple 2.5 gallon plastic nonrecyclable containers everytime you fill it. I don't believe the small amount of good makes up even a fraction of the bad it does. Not even mentioning the manufacturing process and weight of the DEF systems themselves or the wear and tear on the engines from the system. Sorry for the rant
Here's our blog about our DEF problem and the DEF Sensor Simulator:

That DEF error code would “definitely “ damper my mood! A flat tire is more than enough drama in our world!
Ha ha. I'll DEFinitely DEFer to you on the DEFects you can handle.

A couple of weeks? Oh Jeesh. Glad you got it resolve though. Cheers to that!

I have watched a few of your videos and have enjoyed watching. You have a new subscriber!
Awesome! Welcome!

DEF systems are a mostly useless nightmare. Great video as always, thank you!

@@stuwardw That's a great point about the plastic bottles we keep using! I hadn't thought of that.
What? No air horn going through the tunnel?? I’m a little disappointed 😂 Every owner needs a DEF Simulator.
Good Grief! We typically only use that air horn when we see another Super C or when Kasie needs to wake Lana up.
It’s one of those unwritten laws, family tradition with us 😅
