Your old bus is fine because it is old technology combined with no pollution control.
Diesels are very dirty burning engines and to clean them up to make them the poster boy "environmental option" they spruke, they have to choke themselves by re-burning sooty exhaust gases...
Yeah i understand mine is old tech engine not common rail but it still has an EGR system and never a problem... I think it only opens when engine is idling, is that the how it's on the triton? Or is it open all the time?
I asked the dealers today what they new about it and also told them what i'd read on this forum and they said they didn't know anything but would find out for me. I plan to do a trip around Aus next year so i really want to buy the right truck.
