WHAT in TARNATION?!

This device was attached to the old muffler via a metal tube-sort of like a break line. Now its blinking a little green light.

According to what I looked up, it measures exhaust temps and fumes etc.

I figure I can do a "soft" delete and keep the connectors labeled until I'm sure the bus runs fine without it.



Wondering if anyone has had one of these, and if its safe to remove-just in case...Click image for larger version

From the website description it looks like a data logger. You should be able to disconnect it with no issue.

If you can unplug it and leave the wiring intact I don't see any downside to testing it. Unplug it and see if it affects drivability. If it does, then plug it back in.

From the website, I think that it has an SD card that stores the data.

From the link you provided: "Each CRT system that is installed to treat diesel exhaust emissions is equipped with the CRTdm, a diagnostic module"

From the "CRT system" link in that description: "Johnson Matthey’s CRT® technology integrates a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) with a diesel particulate (DPF) filter to remove PM from diesel exhaust while simultaneously oxidizing CO and HC to CO2."

It would appear that you have aftermarket emissions that was added to your bus and that box is the controller to keep it working.


I would not delete it without first making sure you dont have the DOC/DPF system in there.

Mine has a metal line, but that was disconnected on the muffler end a few weeks ago, and I've driven it since with no effects.
