Hey guys, this is a continuation of my previous thread since the main topic has changed. Here's a link if anyone wants to follow-up- Shady Dealership/DEF contaminated with water? My 2014 EcoDiesel (~160k mi) went to the dealer for the dreaded "DEF See Dealer no start in XXX miles" count down...

Hi guys. New here and to owning a diesel. I have the 2014 Big Horn 3.0 EcoDiesel. I got the P208B code! I’ve only driven the truck for 2 weeks since getting it. Garage claimed DEF taken and pump are one piece (BS) and it’d cost $3K to fix. I had it towed home. Bought the pump brand new for $100...

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knew how to drain the DEF tank for a 2020 Gen 3. Looks like the previous posts were for Gen 2. Thanks!

I dropped my 2014 Ecodiesel of at the dealer for codes P20EE (SCR NOx Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1), P2BA9 (NO Exceedance - Insufficient Reagent Quality) and dash message “Incorrect DEF detected See Dealer”. Since the codes are emission related, I expected it to be covered under...

Hello. I’m a new member here. 2020 Ram Ecodiesel. I have them 2 codes popped up at the same time. Truck was sitting at dealers lot for couple weeks before I got it and they had to replace crank seal on it. Left dealer yesterday and then 2 popped up. I noticed that coolant is little low in...

Wondering what Pro's and Con's are on letting My Dealer apply this update? I have heard a couple people say they had problems with it.

Just got a 2018 4x4 tradesman crew cab (30,000 miles, low idle hours, stock tires) about a week and half ago, I bought it when the DEF was about 1/3 full, later that day the gauge is reading full, so I took it back to the dealer, they tell me that something is wrong with the DEF tank/unit (no...

Today, my '14 ED with 85,000 miles threw the P203e "reductant level sensor circuit intermittent/erratic" code. I've done some reading and understand it's most likely related to a sensor in the DEF tank. I have an extended warranty, so I'm wondering if this is something I should look into having...

I bought my 2016 EcoDiesel almost 2 years ago. For the 1st 16,000 miles I would burn 2 1/2 gallons of DEF every 4,000 miles. When the gauge hit 3/4, I added another jug. Then at a little over 18,000 miles and again 20,500 I am at the 3/4 mark. That is almost double the what it was. My...

UPS dropped off GDE Tuned ECU today and jumped on it as soon as I got home. Only problem with the install is...I have GIGANTIC hands... I have real trouble finding gloves that will fit over my knuckle-dragging hands, and getting those two bottom bolts out and back in was a royal PIA... Once...

My DEF Gauge is still reading 1/2-full even after filling with 4-gal of DEF from a Pump at Flyin' J. My 2014 EcoD threw a P203E code, which I cleared with a scanner. I can't tell if the system is using DEF or not, but the CEL hasn't returned. Do I risk any damage to the motor waiting to see...

So my wife calls me on her road trip with our 2016 Ram EcoDiesel in no mans land, on a Sunday, between Boise, ID and Salt Lake City (less than 18000mi) saying the engine light popped up. It says DEF Service required. Engine will not restart in 200 miles. It has been ticking down ever since...

I've seen lots of posts on here where DEF gauges are reading too low...consensus seems to be it froze and didn't read a fill, or never dropped level and usually related to very cold weather. I can understand the logic there. My DEF tank is about 1/4 full, and I always keep it between 1/4 and...

it started like a charm... So just came back from my European trip and was a bit concerned that truck may not start after sitting in the cold for a while. Was thinking that diesel may gel-up, DEF freeze and battery dead. But it started without any problems. No hesitation at all. And I even...

I commonly see DEF from Valvoline and Peak at my local Napa Auto Parts store. Since purchasing the truck, I've only used Valvoline DEF, nothing else. Whom here can share their opinion on my scenario?: My DEF tank is approximately 1/2 full with Valvoline Premium Blue DEF. My local NAPA has...

The DEF gauge in my 2015 with 5500 Km / 3400 miles was working fine, gauge was indicating at about 60%. Then today it jumped back up to 100% and stayed there all day. Normal day with some light towing and few stops and starts. Outside temperature was about -5 C / 23 F. Everything else looked...

Hello , I have a 2014 1500 ecodiesel in my shop , it had the problem with the SCR cat , and it was beginning to count down from 200 miles to 0 that it would't start anymore . Fitted it with a new SCR cat , and got the code P2BA9 along with de p20EE just as described in the service bulletin ...

Thought this was a nice article on Edmunds about what happens when you run the DEF down to minimal: DEF Jam V: Running It To Empty - 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Long-Term Road Test Nice to see nothing too frightening. My perception is that the non Diesel owners seem to freak out about DEF. The...

Six months ago I'd never heard of it, now I've seen it written hundreds of times. But I've never said it out loud (like Voldemort). So, how do you say it? DEF (a one syllable word that rhymes with ref) Or Dee Eee Eff (three pronounced letters)?

(-35c) My wife was on her way to work yesterday when the MIL came on. Stopped by the dealership, they quickly scanned it. Truck said "replace PCM". Service manager said that it didn't make sense, because I have already replaced my PCM @ approx 15k km, and they seldom have to replace pcm's...
