Sea Note,
Yes, mine is a regen model. It has one turbo, no DEF. I had some DPF sensor problems when I first got it. Turns out the sensors were open. It needed a sensor box. So there's a story there too. I called my local CAT dealer in Orlando (I spend the winter in Clermont) and they now refuse to work on RVs. So no other CAT location(at least in central Florida) would either. So I called CAT for how to proceed, and they directed me to the Freightliner dealer on the north side of town. Got it done there, but it took a few days and people that said custom RV wiring harnesses were involved (they weren't). Finally I talked to the right person and they got the standard CAT parts (which had been on the DPF from the start). Funny how dealers try to rip people off. I'm sure there would have been extra charges for "custom" emissions wiring and parts. I had asked for all my old parts.
Coming up, The final(?) chapter in this episode of Voyage To The Bottom Of The Wallet (hahahahahaha... couldn't resist)
