- 0:00 Growing up in the South, the most common vehicle was the three quarter ton pickup truck, which is commonly a diesel engine.
- 0:09 And I kind of just want to talk about the moral implications of deleting your truck.
- 0:14 And to give some background, deleting your truck means to get rid of the particulate fist filter system and the DEF fluid system, which is diesel exhaust fluid.
- 0:26 It's a chemical that is used to kind of counteract the soot that comes out of a diesel engine.
- 0:34 Um it kind of neutralizes this uh the soot that's produced and is generally healthier for the environment and air pollution than a straight diesel engine.
- 0:48 But this also comes along with some negatives.
- 0:52 I mean, as trucks are getting so expensive nowadays, there's diesel trucks that are now over 120,000, and these DEF systems and filters commonly clog up these engines and cause many severe problems to them and severely shortens their lifespans.
- 1:14 So I mean, there's also other implications on power, torque.
- 1:20 Uh deleting your engine has several benefits.
- 1:23 It really opens up the truck and allows it to breathe better.
- 1:27 But I was really just wondering how you draw the line of your moral implications on deleting your truck versus uh what's better for the environment.
- 1:37 I mean, there is some slight benefits to the environment when not deleting your truck, running the DEF systems.
- 1:46 I mean, the soot is neutralized, it's it's healthier for the environment, but at the same time you're potentially causing problems to your 120,000 R truck and limiting its capabilities.
- 2:00 So I just wanted to kind of see what you guys thought of how you would balance um your own financial and just needs uh of the truck versus the overall environmental concern.
