BTW, I believe Ford has had EGR since 2003 and the dreaded 6-oh-no.

You are right on the ford's. Reason I thought cummins would go urea/scr was do to all of the issues with the EGR, clogging and turbo issues. EGR is horrible in my eyes and should be avoided like the plague. It would be silly to make two versions of the truck also. I'm sure they'll choose one tech and do it across the board.

I guess the urea infrastructure is ready. Just who knows how much $$$$.
