    Thank you for this video! I have a 2022 3500 with 29900 miles and on my way to a camping trip I got the dreaded 150 miles to 5 mph code 160 miles from home. Without previously having to deal with this code or knowing anything about it, it definitely put a damper on our trip. I opted to continue on to our destination 63 miles away. I started to search RUclips for potential causes of the code and came across a lot of videos leading to either a dirty or bad def injector. Yours however is different in the way you cleaned the injector without removing it making it a simple and fast trouble shoot with me being at a campsite. I followed your instruction and when the injector was removed it had crystallization limiting the opening down to a small pin hole. That got my hopes up in hoping that it just need to be cleaned. I heated some water in my camp stove and poured it into my coffee mug and dipped the injector in the cup with the injector in place. The crystallization broke down in less than 10 seconds and was like new again. I reinstalled the injector and started the motor. It took a few minutes of idle for the code to clean and we were able to enjoy the rest of our trip without having to cut it short with a long tow home. Thank you so much for sharing the info.
    I will now be using Peak Platinum DEF as it is supposed to minimize the crystallization. I’ll also be getting a spare injector to keep on my truck in case the next time this happens it’s a bad injector. I can replace it easily without ruining a trip.

      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?

      I tried to do mine yesterday and both 10 mm bolts sheered right off even though I used PB blasteron them so what a nightmare it was to take this unit down on the ground by myself so I could drill the bolts out and retap the holes. No I'm waiting for gaskets and to pick up new bolts so I'll be able to put this thing back together so I guess my nightmare continues until I see if it worked when I put it back up. What a pain in the neck literally. Lucky you caught yours in time.

    • @marvinr5054
      @marvinr5054 15 часов назад

      @colinchalmers1099 yes I used a pointed center punch to mark the center then starting with a very small drill bit and drilled through the center then used a extractor bit in the hole I drilled in the center. The bit bites the broken bolt when you insert it because it lefthand threaded but the key is to use lots of penetration oil. I bought the bolts on Amazon because I couldn't get them locally because of the odd metric thread. Hope this helps.

    I tried to remove those 10 mm bolts and they sheared right off. What a nightmare I had to remove the entire unit down out of the truck to drill the bolts out and retap the holes now I'm waiting for gaskets to put the unit back together the one large flange gasket and the injector gasket which is made out of lead mind broken half when I removed the injector but you were a 100% right I did have crystals clogging my injector. Now I just have to Reassemble it after I get the gaskets and after I recover from this horrendous job I feel like this thing kicked my butt... I wish mine came apart like yours.

  • @sharee-1111
    @sharee-1111 2 месяца назад +4

    The best thing to do is to purchase a new DEF injector from the dealer, they do not need to be cleaned out that often. If the injector gets clogged the dealer replaces it at no cost. Alot of people purchase those cheap injectors from Amazon and I've done many videos showing how people are now selling knock off parts. I have over 520,000k miles on my truck and have only replaced the DEF injector 3x's the 2nd time was because of a defective one and the dealer swapped it out last year, haven't had anymore issues since. These things don't last forever, but good quality parts will definitely make the work less frequent. I know the dealer can be pricey, but it's a risk buying cheap parts these days.

  • @petermandel2552

    Also clean this if def usage goes up. The white crystals mess with the spray pattern which makes it less efficient.

  • @daniellittle504
    @daniellittle504 5 месяцев назад +1

    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.
