It takes urea and i suspect it's dealer only. I heard a tank last about as long as an oil change interval? Urea was one of the main ingredients in the OKC bomb too.
Check this out. Even has a usage calculator.

Inland Diesel and Badger Truck carry it.
Most of the time you have to add at the oil change.
Guy I know that just got a new one said he got his first oil change and urea fill up free because they weren't selling the stuff yet, I'd inquire about that.
we can get it at Napa, just dont carry it in house yet (pewaukee/waukesha), i know advanced keeps it on the shelf
What's it for?
I'm voting it's some type of pre cat fluid to warm it up faster.
You guys know it's just pretty much pee, right?
Its injected into the exhaust as a secondary exhaust treatment beyond the normal catalyst, pretty much after the filter starts to burn off after filling up. And yes chemically, its one of the ingredients of urine in mammals, but it ISN'T the same as urine. That's like saying the flour ingredient and the final product of brownies are the same, not quite the case.
its a bunch of b.s is what it is? but I'm a coal roller so my opinion don't matter much lol.
Sounds like something you would buy from KaleCoAuto.
What ever you do don't run out because your truck will not run. Plum Crazy told me about a truck that already had to be towed in because they ran out of urea.
Can't you use a programmer to tune it out? Probably a gov't emission regualtion BS. I know nothing about diesel, but a guy I know will only buy a 2011 Dodge because they supposedly don't have it?
efi live may be able to tune it out I'm not sure, I do know that they can't tune the trans in the 2011 GM Allsion yet. I'll be talking to my tuner soon and see what he says.
pretty much every advance auto has it on there shelves i think its like 8 dollars a gallon
