    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.

    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.

    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 clean the DPF filter opening, use a acid brush with hot water and all DEF crystals will dissolve. End of problem.

    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...

      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.
