This urea thing was a problem for GM the first run and not a problem on the Fords as they had it thought out for cold weather. As stated the urea is great as i have a 2012 GM and 50000kms with not one problem.
Owned Fords for 20 years and other than the interior i have to say i really like the GM truck. The new Ford's have came along way with the Diesel.
The urea is great as no smell and milage is good.
Dodge needs to quite beating that drum about not having it and get with the times. Better power and mileage with it.


Dont want to start a pissing match but the use of urea is a good thing... way less EGR circulating, to achieve the same result at the tailpipe.

Funny i had a dodge once to it was the biggest hunk of ch!t i ever owned .

And I can tell ya both a long winded story about a close friend of mine who had a Ford, which was the biggest POS he EVER had, and made him go BACK to Dodge!! A very true story, but I'm not....because it doesn't matter and this is NOT a pizzing match!! LMAO:p:beer::rolleyes:

We all have stories about some brand that is the biggest pile but some of us realize that and don't spew off about their personal experience as if that is the law.

I was only trying to shamelessly Hijack a Ford thread and sell a truck jeez gimme a break.

By the way you might not know this but 40% of the diesel heavy duty trucks registered on the road today in North America are Dodge pieces of crap... That's why we say they are the longest lasting HD truck.

That leaves 60% for the other two manufacturers to squabble over.

Oh chit I did it again.

Off topic but whatever I still have some 2012 Ram 3500's that are at wicked prices. No Urea system. PM for quote on Ram before you go Ford again.

Stopped by and drove a couple of Dodge trucks, much nicer than our old shop truck.....which was a basic lumber wagon!

He's a salesman, he got it from his ass. They can have the cummins. The rest of the truck around that motor sucks. The 6.4 is a great motor and is the easiest to get a 500 hp daily driver. I've heard just as many guys complain about dodge as I have every other brand out there.

So I did overstate quite a bit... I can't get the backup to the claim. Serves me right for repeating propaganda that I hear but...

Here are some real numbers... propaganda still, but the claim's I made were not totally unfounded.

Ram trucks do not "suck". In fact just looking at these numbers alone would suggest that they are the opposite of "suck". Or that if Ram trucks "suck" then conversely both Ford and G.M. would rate lower than "suck". Not sure what lower than "suck" is. But based on R.L. Polk info in Canada. Dodge Ram trucks are on top of the "suck" heap. They last longer. That to me means they "suck" less. That was my point.

Let the pissing and moaning begin! (that came from my ass)

back on topic... i have been able to find urea in any petro can and petro pass i have gone to, flying js have them as well.

not sure the ford but my chevy uses about 2.5 galons every 6000-7000 kms. 2.5 galons is about $15-$20 at the truck stops. you can probably get a better deal at a parts place

also urea has a shelf life of 2 years so if you dont put that many miles on the truck then let the tank empty out before you add more, dont keep the tank full. a lot of guys have issues if they keep topping the tank up, old gets mixed with the new and you might get a def quality poor message, then the entire system may have to flushed and reset

I've seen 2/3 of a jug of windshield washer fluid go in a tank of urea and no problems resulted. 2011 F350
