  1. RAM 1500 Diesel Mechanical
    I have been having issues over the last two months on my 2017 ram 1500 Ecodiesel. Replaced the control module on top of the DEF tank and one of the DEF/SCR heater hoses. Now 3 weeks later I got the lousy P20EE code. Local dealer looks at it for 30 or 45 minutes and then tells me the...

    So i bought a 2014 ecodiesel from the dealership 140k kilometers and truck looked very clean, its my first diesel so i was not familiar with the def gauge. When i bought it the gauge was at 0 which i thought was strange but the truck ran fine. 20k kilometers later the truck still runs fine and...

    Does anyone that lives near Nashville know of a mechanic that works on the ecodiesel? I have called a handful and have had zero luck with finding a non dealer recommendation. TIA

    Hello, I have a 2017 1500. I got the DEF system needs Serviced message, and now the 200 miles and truck won't restart message. After some searching I found that odds are my injector was probably just clogged from build-up. I went a head and disconnected it and cleaned it. The check engine...

    Just bought a new 2023 1500 EcoDiesel and put 1.3k miles on it with towing in cold weather. DEF sensor came on and said 500 mi left. Didn't use it much passed that and filled the DEF when it was down to 1/4 tank. Used the whole thing of DEF and got a warning when starting the truck the first...

    Hello, is there a cheaper alternative to DEF? Can we use just water or maybe urine? Thanks!
  7. RAM 1500 EcoDiesel 3rd Gen General Discussion
    I bought a used 2020 Eco Diesel back in December of 2022. Love the truck, has all the bell and whistles that I wanted, my very first time owning a diesel too. I just wanted a change from gas and got a diesel. I used to have a 2017 Ram Rebel, Loved that truck too. Bought my eco diesel and about...

    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!
  11. RAM 1500 Diesel General Discussion
    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.
  14. RAM 1500 Diesel General Discussion
    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...
  20. RAM 1500 Diesel General Discussion
    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...
