I'm still trying to figure out why the WD40 was used on the bolts? Makes it sound like it was sprayed on the bolts after they were out. Why not use an anti-sieze?
The video was very helpful, except for the fact, he neglected to mention that there is a def injector gasket that you need to replace once in a while so that three minute job for me, turned into a two day job because I had a bolt that broke and I had to drill it out and I had to replace the def injector gasket and I had to replace the injector gasket which was heat welded to the injector and the mounting. However, I would suggest using never seize or anti-seize on the bolts instead of WD-40.
@@riosautotransportllc have you used truck stop DEF or what were you using.. one question.. is this not HOT when you pull over?? seem like this is exhaust system and should be hot as hell..
If possible I'd keep another one In truck for quick swap and cleannother later after delivery. Cause time is money. Be back on road. Gotta be ready for any situation cause on road never know atleast there's a back up
@darrylvaillancourt6144 i got the injector off it cost me 600 bucks but the injector is cracked so i have to buy a new injector, rock auto has the part for about 180
So I’m curious if my 3500 is as simple to get to as your 5500? I’m curious as to why it needs to be cleaned every 3 weeks? Because the engine light comes on? I’m new to owning a diesel so any help is much appreciated! ✌🏽
Yes my engine light would turn on and service Def light too. I was using bio diesel and cheap Def. I now use regular diesel and blue Def (Costco sells it for $13.99) I haven’t cleaned it in over 2 months.
Mf my bolts were rusted so bad I thought it was 8 mm then ended up welding 3/8 nut with 9/16 wrench snapped off after about 2 move the other side I sanded im not sure if have to get pipe or can tack weld it my truck was parked to much and rusty I did see a lot white so now I’ll try hot water and maybe see if my brother can fix the bolts
Hello, I am new to the channel, excellent tips to learn, I have a ram 2500 diesel heavy duty year 2022, the innova 5210 scanner, what model is it because there are many, which one is correct, what do you recommend, greetings from Texas
I’m concerned I’m going to snap off the bolts. I’ve been soaking with PB blaster for several days now. It would be nice to know the bolt size. Some have replaced with ss bolts. If I do ever get them out I’m going to treat them with some hi temp anti seez 😊
The regen is supposed to take care of this. How often does your truck do the regen? I'm starting to think I don't run mine enough to get it to regen correctly.
It was building up and causing my engine light to turn on. I switched to Blue Def (I buy at Costco) and I no longer use biodiesel, I haven't had this issue in a few months.
Did you ever look down into the scr for build up of def? That is common on trucks that idle a lot or that are used heavy towing, there is or was a campaign for this issue by installing a def umbrella, I have 80k on my 3500 never had that issue, but I also work on dpf and scr issue everyday as a mechanic
Can you tell me more about the code reader? Do you like it? Was it affordable? Where did you get it? It’s for a Cummins 6.7 , Correct? THANKS FOR SO THE GREAT VIDEOS!!!

Tell whoever was recording that she’s the real MVP I was really confused what the WD40 was for
Thank you! 😊

I just removed and cleaned mine at 52k miles. It was ready to be cleaned. I also replaced the old rusty 10mm bolts with new stainless steel bolts.
Stainless bolts,good call.
I need to replace mine with stainless steel bolts, I have the original.

Try using blue def platinum. You shouldn’t have to clean it anymore. It contains an additive to help stop caking up.
Yes I switched to blue Def (I buy it at Costco for $13,99 each). I don’t need to clean it often anymore.
@@riosautotransportllc have you used truck stop DEF or what were you using.. one question.. is this not HOT when you pull over?? seem like this is exhaust system and should be hot as hell..
No i was buying def at Home Depot or auto zone but it wasn’t the blue Def. Each time I clean it truck is cold, I’m usually home.
Have you replaced the water hose for turbo cooling system??? If so did you make a vid.
@@riosautotransportllc
No I haven't replaced it yet. @@iancameron198
Also clean this if def usage goes up. The white crystals mess with the spray pattern which makes it less efficient.
Thank you!
You could try Blue DEF Platinum, I run it exclusively and my injector is staying clean.
I agree. I switched to Blue Def Platinum and no longer use Biodiesel fuel.
I use blue def platinum and get def warning every 5000 miles
Do you use diesel #2 or Bio? I had the same issue using Bio.
Great vid, Thxs!
You’re welcome, thank you for watching!
There is a gasket on the injector. Keep one in the glove box.
No había you!
If possible I'd keep another one In truck for quick swap and cleannother later after delivery. Cause time is money. Be back on road. Gotta be ready for any situation cause on road never know atleast there's a back up
Thank you, good idea!
going to try this
It worked for me, I now use Blue def and never Bio Diesel. I haven’t cleaned mine in over 6 months.

Can you show how you operate your lift on your trailer... I just bought the exact trailer...need a few pointers 👍thanks
Yes, thank you for the suggestion. I’ll upload it early next week.
This work i clean mine with boiling water and toothbrush
Yes it does.

You have a P2471 clean your egr cooler / valve its clogged.
Try cleaning the injector, if code doesn’t clear you may need to clear it yourself.
What if i have a large resistance across the two pins? 270 k ohms?
I’m not sure, I haven’t had that.
Wow haven’t cleaned mine yet.
You’re truck will let you know once it’s dirty.
Every month!? I used blue def for 92,000 in 7 years no problems, but I am switching to Platinum
Yes I use to but I haven’t in multiple months, I no longer have that issue now that I’m using blue def and no Bio- diesel.
When the message popped up says - Exhaust System Service Required See Dealer. What does it mean? Is it the same issue as yours?
My message said Service Def see dealer on my 2016 Dodge 5500. It didn’t mention exhaust.

Just don’t purchase the cheap ones, I purchased mine at Costco. You want one that isn’t complicated to read.
where did you get your replacement DEF injector? Thanks
I bought it directly From the dealership.
So no gasket replacement required? 3:12 3:12
No

Ad blue def might help it stay cleaner
Yes the blue Def works well, I use it. when I was using biodiesel I cleaned it more often. Now on regular diesel I can’t remember last time.
The regen is supposed to take care of this. How often does your truck do the regen? I'm starting to think I don't run mine enough to get it to regen correctly.

I have been using the Def from Pilot J. Do they sell cheap def?
I’m not sure, I use blue def. I buy it at Costco but they sell it at other locations.

I changed to blue Def and no longer use BioDiesel fuel. I haven’t had Def issues in months.
you might be uding cheap DEF, every month is crazy
I haven’t cleaned it it months, no more issues.
You’re not doing that on the road unless it’s been sitting long enough to cool down
Yes you’re right.
Can you tell me more about the code reader? Do you like it? Was it affordable? Where did you get it? It’s for a Cummins 6.7 , Correct? THANKS FOR SO THE GREAT VIDEOS!!!
I bought mine at Costco. Yes it’s affordable, under $100. It works for my 6.7 Cummins to read to codes.
Do you know the brand name?
@@scotthelgerson533 Mine is a Innova 5210 it’s three years old.
How do you get warm water on the road ? Pee in a cup
😂
Does that work asking for a friend
What code does it set?
I didn’t check the code but the dash said Service Def see dealer
That code is not for the def injector
Cleaning it cleared code.
Dodge ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No issues now that I changed to better quality Def.
