Paccar UREA Delete

As an owner-operator or fleet manager, there’s the total cost of ownership that must be taken into consideration with the vehicles you purchase. And unquestionably two of the biggest overhead costs are fuel and maintenance. Both are necessary, but if you can find ways to manage or reduce each, then the payoff can be significant. That’s where Diesel Spec can help, as we offer a range of engine tuning and delete services to help diesel engines run more efficiently and effectively. One of these services involves eliminating the SCR (UREA), and we’re proud to offer this service on Paccar diesel engines.

What’s the SCR (UREA) Delete?

SCR stands for “selective catalytic reduction.” Specifically, this is a part that is designed to reduce the amount nitrogen oxides entering the atmosphere. The SCR works by having a special fluid – diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) – blasted into the exhaust stream, which converts harmful nitrogen oxides into nitrogen, water, and small amounts of carbon dioxide. DEF is comprised partially of urea, so in order for the SCR to work effectively, drivers need to maintain a tank of DEF fluid. DEF is just another overhead cost for managers and owners, and the SCR is a problematic component that’s in need of frequent repair. That’s why many fleet managers and owners just opt to have it removed from the vehicle altogether. This practice is especially popular among diesel engine vehicles in the agricultural field.

Benefits of UREA Removal

There are a few benefits that can be realized following an UREA removal:

• Save on costs: Like we noted, DEF is another overhead cost that must be accounted for with the UREA system; therefore, eliminating the UREA would also eliminate the need to purchase DEF.
• Minimize maintenance: Routine maintenance is necessary with any vehicle, but unexpected maintenance can cost you money – not make you money. Being that the UREA tends to be a problematic component and can impact the engine’s effectiveness, eliminating it can lead to fewer unexpected repairs and a longer engine life.
