This is one of the best videos here in youtube, the whole time you spoke you gave us hope making the issue look so small it was not a big deal, thank you sir
I have the same exact issue and when I fill my def tank the check engine light will clear itself in a few miles. Taking it up to the dealership today. Luckily I've read this problem is covered for free.
Just have this code on our 2016 F350 (within the last week).Truck only has 51K miles on it. How difficult is it to remove the DEF tank - we have a 6 3/4 bed, not a long bed.
It wasn’t too difficult. The tricky part is getting the plastic retainers off without breaking them. Soak everything in WD40 or PB Blaster and it will help a lot.
@@DanielJaegerFilms Thanks for the reply and for taking the time to publish all these videos. Finished the reductant tank heater job today. Truck back in working order. Appreciate your channel - Also own a 2001 7.3 Excursion (she's a baby at only 167K miles on the stock engine) - so have watched all your Excursion videos to!
@@DanielJaegerFilms Guess what came in the mail today? A letter from Ford Motor Company. Customer satisfaction Program 21M01. Basically, this program will increase the reductant heater and sender warranty coverage to a total of 11 years or 120,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first. Of course....after we replaced it ourselves! Grrrr! The letter states "if you paid to have this service done before the date of this letter, you may be eligible for a refund." Hopefully Ford will at least reimburse us for the cost of the part, since we performed the repair ourselves. Just thought I'd share....
i have a 2016 f250. about a few years ago my check engine went off and come to find out. it was the module in the def tank. that same week, ford sent me a letter for a recall on that same issue. needless to say the least..i got mine replaced at their cost....
My 2014 only gets about 1/2 PSI on turbo when towing. And I get about 11-12 mpg. Could this be the cause of that issue? Towing up hills, I put the pedal to the floor and it doesn't increase speed or turbo.
Exact same problem with mine that is DEF deleted and straight pipe so no EGR sensor neither I can't figure out the issue because I change also the turbo for a new one
I’m getting a code on my 6.7 2022 “P226C” I bought the OBD and it says I have a permanent code I did a diagnostics on it and it came up that one of the boost pressure control monitor is out. Do you know if it’s what’s causing the check engine light or is it something else
Some people say to delete. Problem with deleting is that it’s illegal in all of America. This can present serious issues for the customer. A LEO has the authority to punish you for it. It may not happen often, but it certainly can.
I’m a fleet mechanic, I work on all trucks from class 8 Macks to Ford Vans. IMO you should consider the 6.7 if you can check yes to almost of these boxes. Are towing over 15 k often, are getting a dually, the majority of your trips are longer than hour of run time between cooling off, do not do a lot of idling, you ate ok with. 300.00 oil change and fuel filter changes. You plan on trading before the 5/100 warranty is up. Ford designed the 7.3 gasoline engine for the majority of users that are towing and need a powerful engine ,but need the simplicity of a gas engine,need more payload than the diesel version can provide,or for fleet usage . I love the 6.7 but it’s best in the duallys that tow heavy.
FYI You don’t need to do the repairs yourself. It’s called a customer satisfaction recall. Just got mine done through the dealer no charge. I used to clear my code every day because of the lack of power.
I agree with this but as I understand it, some of the emissions parts (like the def heater) are warranted for a mileage/age amount. At 210k + miles, this truck would have been out of the warranty period.
@@salvadorarreola4729 Yes. I replaced my DEF heater and pump and it was doing the same thing. So looking further into it my exhaust was plugged. I took it down to my buddies place and did a manual generation test and blew all the crap out of my exhaust. I'm getting better fuel mileage and got my power back.
Less emissions is nice and all but god if they field tested these parts for 3 years. I wonder how much emissions they don't reduce because people cut them out as they're going broke repairing them. If they worked nobody would cut and less emissions. Did you have to remove the bed for this or just drop it like a fuel tank?
I like the diesel trucks long lasting 12 miles to the gallon is pretty bad for a truck like this 16 to 17 is probably more like it maybe 18 idk nice truck though I like the long bed

Had nearly the same issue but with a exhaust temp sensor that went out. Great video!
I miss my 6.7 so much, great motor. It’s a beast. Ford still uses it in the new trucks too which says a lot.
Having the same codes and low power problem. Going to follow your video and hope I get power back. Thanks!
I have also seen the exhaust temp sensors not reading correctly and cause a derate issue
Thankyou! My Def heater has been Out for years, along with power and fuel economy!!!
What a great engine, plenty of power stock. Unfortunately we all have to deal with emissions equipment. No matter which brand of diesel we purchase.

What about if the boost gauge isn't even moving and it's just making a loud wining sound

I have the same problem on my 2016 f450 but with the difference mine isn’t have check engine light what do you think can be the problem?
Wow thats a good difference of boost
Would this go for a truck that is def deleted my truck has the exact issue but it's def deleted
Exact same problem with mine that is DEF deleted and straight pipe so no EGR sensor neither I can't figure out the issue because I change also the turbo for a new one
@Salvador Arreola did you ever get yours figured out bro?? What was the issue??
@@salvadorarreola4729what did you do to fix’s yours same w mine
Thank you Daniel.
very helpful, thanks
I’m getting a code on my 6.7 2022 “P226C” I bought the OBD and it says I have a permanent code
I did a diagnostics on it and it came up that one of the boost pressure control monitor is out.
Do you know if it’s what’s causing the check engine light or is it something else
You rock man!
I have the same issue but my muffler has been deleted and no pee tank.
Some people say to delete. Problem with deleting is that it’s illegal in all of America. This can present serious issues for the customer. A LEO has the authority to punish you for it. It may not happen often, but it certainly can.
Especially if it's a DOT truck. Won't pass yearly inspections if deleted.
Do you recommend getting a 6.7? I’m looking at buying a 16 possible or little newer or buying an ole 7.3

Now I don't feel bad about my 7.3 getting 15mpg...
Mine is doing the same thing, but my check engine light is not on.
Were you able to find out what was wrong?
@@salvadorarreola4729 Yes. I replaced my DEF heater and pump and it was doing the same thing. So looking further into it my exhaust was plugged. I took it down to my buddies place and did a manual generation test and blew all the crap out of my exhaust. I'm getting better fuel mileage and got my power back.
@@xboysfunfab473 What if the truck has straight pipe and def deleted
It needs a completely new fuel system/lines. My dad's was doing the same thing and that's what it took to fix it. About 8k total
difficulty level on replacing this?
Actually not too bad, any mechanic or mechanically inclined individual should be able to do it. I had it done in about an hour.
You gotta make more videos

Another problem caused by all that emissions crap.
saving the planet 1 box and jug at a time. and reducing the life of the vehicle by 50%
can’t see anything
Or just get it deleted
