This video just saved me thousands. I used a wrench to get the bolts off. ( easier than the socket) and boiled my water to break up the white def crystals. Cleaned the injector and the injector hole with a toothbrush and the problem went away. Appreciate you posting this!
I’m glad it helped.
I'm getting ready to pull our 5th wheel with our 2016 3500, 6.7 with the Aisin transmission from northern Idaho to Maine and back. I haven't gotten the check engine light or code for this but I'm going to pull and clean the injector before we leave. I think it's good preventive maintenance. Great video.
Thank you. Yes you’ll be traveling a distance, it’s a good idea to clean it beforehand.
Thanks EPA !!!!!
I think it is great to have a wife outside, on the ground, helping her husband.
😃 With help it gets done faster.
@@riosautotransportllc Amen brother, mine is always there to lend a hand. We are two lucky ol' boys.
Great video
Thanks for the video I just bought my first Cummins diesel and I want to do preventative maintenance cuz I hear this is a common issue
You’re welcome. Congratulations on your truck.mmmm, yes it is a common issue.
I got the message " def Maintenance see dealer " on my 2022 ram 5500 with 147k . But didn't stay up on dash. I did clean the Injector but I didn't put any air on the dpf. Next time I'll do it for sure.
Did it work without the air
When clean the port hole where injector goes in use a pick with a 45 bend on it and scrap inside to clean hole and area in side due to build up also. Then take a shop vac and tape a small hose on it To fit inside hole and vacuum any def debris from inside and good to go.
Great idea, thank you!
Great job. The only thing In would have done differently is using anti seize on those bolts for the re-install. With the rust on those bolts and the heat from that exhaust,….that’ll be a bear to get off in the future.
Thanks for the tip!
I feel for that Merc - reduced to potholder, lol😂 - but for real, thanks for the help with this!
😂.. You’re welcome!
Cool wife. You’re a lucky man.
Great video bro.
Im not mechanically inclined, but i can take a part off and on. Wish you could have started from the very beginning and show exactly where to go and what all you had to remove. You know like how to fix it for dummys tutorial 😂😂
Thank you for the suggesting, Next time.
Great vids thanks bro now I know for my truck❤
Glad to help!
You single handed KILLED every diesel on EARTH
How so?
Hay great video thank you so much 👍🏋️♀️very sweet kitty to 🤗
You’re welcome, glad it helped.
Nice vid. Good job with the narration. T.u.
Thank you!
Maybe some anti-seize rather than WD-40. But hey that looks like it worked. Thanks for the video.
Great point!
Thanks you are so much help
You’re welcome!
Based on the market lately, would you recommend someone starting up right now? I'm out of NorCal too, but willing to travel more than you guys (basically everything Texas to Cali). I'm also young and willing to sleep in a crew cab like your set up. My goal is a Ram 5500 with hopefully a 5 car trailer. Any suggestion?
That’s a good setup. Hauling cars goes up and down. It’s currently slow, last year it picked up in February. I recommend you get insurance quotes (it’s very expensive the first year). Also look into truck and trailer costs, would you finance those? I sold my two cars and boat to buy my Dodge 5500 and Ez4 trailer both used for cash.
Giving this a try first before getting everything "deleted"... but still under warranty... second time this happened in less then 4months...not a good thing to see while on road trip
I haven’t had this problem since changing to blue deff from Costco and I no longer use Bio Diesel. Before I had to clean it every three weeks, its been a few months and no issues.
Was a code coming up with your check engine light I think the code was p20E8
Mine didn't have a code just Service Deff see Dealer.
Sweet cat
Thank you. Good video
You’re welcome, thank you for watching.
Do I need to put a new gasket on ! that's what my dealer said !!!
I used my old gasket.
Good video thanks yall
Thank you m85sims!
Have you had to plug the injector hose?I need to plug mine but idk what size it is
No I’ve never plugged the hose.
I see the gasket looks like it was all chipped out, did you replace it?
No I haven’t, this injector us about 1.5 years old. Originally I didn’t know they could be cleaned so I replaced it.
I'm wondering the same! I have mine and I think is chipped too compared to a new one
So, did you have a message come on on the dash saying Def quality poor? If so, did this fix the problem?
No my message said See Dealer Def
Did you have to clear the codes? I just cleaned mine but haven't driven or clear the codes yet. I did turn the truck on after cleaning the injector and saw the light still on. Thinking I will have to clear the codes and drive it for a bit? Thanks!
Drive it for a a day or two if it doesn’t clear by itself clear the code.
@@riosautotransportllc Appreciate this, Thank you!
I did all this and the words 5mph in 150mi popped back up . Any suggestions??
Once you cleaned the injector how long before code came up? Are you using bio? I changed to regular Diesel #2 and it worked for me. If you continue to have issues you may need to replace your injector (buy injector at dealer and you install it).
so what about when you do this and the message is still on, add adblue?
Most of the time it cleared but I have had to clear the message.
@@riosautotransportllc im still stuck. i got the engine light off but the engine will not start in 14 miles
Next time leave the wife inside 😂
😂 😂 😂
What is the white clip or clamp called because mine broke and I can’t find another one
Any suggestions?
When this happen did you also lose some power?
No but I cleaned it right away.
Have the problem and the dealer can’t find how to fix it
Have you cleaned the injector? It’s worked for me.
Iam guess it was took about 30 min to do this job?
The first time it did. Now I don’t disconnect completely from truck, it’s very quick.
Jk😂
🤣
What was the code you had?
Service Def see dealer
@@riosautotransportllc yea but did you read the actual code like P207F
No I didn’t look at code.
Damnit that woman is annoying
Lol just saying I’m married to bubba and my wife is annoying plenty and so is she haha
I used a wrech much easier
Great idea.
Did you have a check engine light before this and does your truck work like before after you cleaned it?
Yes the check engine light did turn on, I cleaned it right away. My truck never lost power.
@@riosautotransportllc ohh I have to try this mine has check engine light and says see the dealer
Yes try it, you may need to reset it.
@@riosautotransportllc it worked but it keeps getting dirty and stuck I think it’s my def tank than
Try the blue Def i buy it Costco, don’t use the cheap def.
