I HATE THIS DEF CRAP !!! I HAVE A 2014 WITH 275K MILES ! I put a new Transmission in it I havent had any engine problems I havent had any fuel system problems No oil problems No coolant problems BUT DEF still having same problems . I feel like they did this just to cost you more money. Im thinking about trading it in for a 2012 manual Just to stay away from DEF PROBLEMS . From what i learn owning nothing but DODGE TRUCKS . STEERING BOX IS TRASH DEF SUCKS AND THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION COULD BE WAY BETTER FOR WHAT YOU PAY !! FORD fixed the issues they had . So why in the hell hasnt RAM done the same . I had a 97 5.9 I put 500k miles on it and never had any problems .
Great video. The DEF message pop up beginning of December, got it the injector off and cleaned it like you did ( wasn’t near as clog as yours ) cleaned everything real nice, cleared the code and all was fine for a week, then the message did pop-up again, I decided that I wouldn’t toy with that again, so I got the DEF deleted, all of the muffler component is still there, Let me tell you, it is not the same truck anymore, way more power and it respond faster. I love it even more now. Thank you.
@@treyjuice422 went to a guy near montreal but i dont think it will pass the smog test because all the components to reduce smog are gone. We dont need to pass smog test here in quebec, (for now anyways).
I removed and cleaned my DEF injector at 51k miles. I was surprised how plugged up it was. One hour of preventive maintenance can save you being in the Limp Mode on the hi way somewhere. Nice video. 👍
Great video, just a heads up all DEF is the same. It is 67.5% water and 32.5% urea. The platinum is only 32.57% more urea and does the exact same job is the “cheap” DEF. The best hung you can do is make user the date code on the DEF new and use that.
July 3 3:15 Georgia time. Just had this happen this morning on my 2021 2500. Watched video , pulled mine apart and that’s exactly what it was. Saved me a lot of money. Thanks so much great video!💪💪
Good Video man. Appreciate it. Mines a 2021 3500 with only 34k on it…It’s being fixed by dealer for this issue. Getting it back tomorrow, but will be my problem in the future and thanks to this simple well laid out video, I will tackle the issue again in a couple years. Thanks again!
Great video. I had the same message pop up when the truck only had about 20k miles. I was using the regular def. When I switched to the platinum I never got the message again. I’m at 85k miles and still no issues (knock on wood).
Thanks for the video. I should probably do this 1 day during my reset out on the road. 1 thing I was wondering watching the video though. Can you remove the studs for the 10mm nuts that hold the injector on? It almost looks like that piece is removable.
To remove the def line push down on the down on the line then push on clip that holds the line onto the injector... Less chances on snapping the clip.. Since everything is made out of plastic now a days...
Well i jusy bought a new 2023 3500 and did a whole walk through with Tech he said the best way to keep that from happen dont wait for light to come on to add DEF its good add at half and try to buy the fresh as much as possible and some other person on here said there is a Additive you can use
If you have ever bought Walmart house paint you will learn a good lesson about going cheap. I bought the Platinum from day one. I only have 16k miles so TBD on this. Great video. Keep them coming.
My last truck had the pump go bad at 100k and I had used pump def in it before. New truck I swore to only ever use box def and now I have bad injector at 79k. Def systems are garbage, every politician should be required to drive a vehicle with one so they get to see what they've done.
Dude. I spend two hours trying to figure out how to take the clip out. I gave up. Ill do your way in morning. Lmao. 😂 that click kicked my ass hahahahah
Thanks. Unfortunately yes. It worked fine for about a week then eventually I got a message saying the DPF was near full and to see dealer. I’ve sent it to the dealer but have gotten a diagnosis yet.
Man I hate all this epa shit
Same 🤦🏽♂️
Agreed.

Thinking about going that route also here in a few days... everything deleted plus the 5in pipe
Where did u go for deleted and can u still pass smog

@@dustengrier2817 I would if I were you. It’s not about if it gets clogged, it’s about when. I’m also not sure if you can remove what holds the studs
Great video!
Platinum or standard it wont matter
To clean the DPF filter opening, use a acid brush with hot water and all DEF crystals will dissolve. End of problem.
did this work and if or what was the problem after all having the same issue
Worked for about 2 weeks. Truck needs new dpf filter or a delete ultimately.
To remove the def line push down on the down on the line then push on clip that holds the line onto the injector... Less chances on snapping the clip.. Since everything is made out of plastic now a days...
I'm scared I'm gonna break the clip man idk where you placed the screwdriver did you pry it open or pull it out?
Apparently you didn’t need to replace the gasket?
Good video, good camera work for such a cramped space
Thanks
You are lucky for it to be that simple! I hoped for that but clean as a whistle! The DEF pump was bad at 12,870 miles!

I just bought the same def from Walmart and it did it to me too only days after I put it in. O'Reilly's brand is good use it a lot no problems.
How reset after yuo clinig my def filter ?
All I did was take the battery post off for about 15 minutes
Great video Man! Wasn't sure I could do this myself. Now I know I can
Thank you!
Great video man

Nice vid Man👍🏻

Yep I use that Blue Def. I have a buddy that use def at the pump and he is having problems.

Lol. You should get it this time
thanks
Nice work!
Thank you
Great video -- thank you!

Very instructive video.
Thank you
Hay do you know the actual size bolts for the def injector
Did you watch the video? He said 10mm.
The nut is 10mm. I’m not sure what the size of the studs are.
I just replaced mine due to how rusted they were--m6 - 1.00x16, from Lowe's.
thank you!!
You're welcome! 👑🫡
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video Best one I seen on this Can I assume you have not had issues since?
Thanks. Unfortunately yes. It worked fine for about a week then eventually I got a message saying the DPF was near full and to see dealer. I’ve sent it to the dealer but have gotten a diagnosis yet.
@@vetwaytransportation did the dealership figure out what was wrong with it? I have a similar issue
What did the dealer say
The dealer did a forced regen and it was fine

Broke the clip. Do you guys know what it would be called or where to get it
