Def injector disconnect

As long as it serves a purpose. I don’t normally join threads anymore. Always a waste of time nothing worse than bad advice doesn’t matter the topic.

All advise is a waste of time if your unwilling to take it, or even entertain it. That's a self induced problem, not a forum problem.
 
Your stunned. The system was frozen! DPF DEF injector who cars which part I don’t give a f@ck which part Cletus. Unthaw problem gone. Only problem left is you. Doesn’t appear anything can fix that tho

You have no idea what you are talking about…. P.S. UNthaw means freeze ;)

But just curious when your truck was frozen. What exactly did they do for you when you went to dealership? How much did it cost? My trucks not under warranty as it has 125k km all ready

First 5 times they thawed it (i had it parked inside at work just thawing it would not clear it)and reset everything free also it was in limp mode the 6th time they dropped the tank and cleaned the pump and charged me 500$ but every single time it was the DEF that froze because the DPF cant freeze

I feel the op is on a forum where details and process matter, and his p.o.v. is that he doesn't care what broke, or how it was repaired. it was corrected and that's it.

when my dpf froze, the egr was removed and a propane torch was used on the cooler block to dethaw.

Ok that makes sense. I wonder if it’s because of poor DEF fluid itself? I stoked up this summer whe. Many said there was going to be a shortage. I just started working on my stash this fall. All blue def from walkmart. Sounds like my situation is like yours. On way home went into Regen 2 times. It was only 300km trip so that was odd. Didn’t happen until I reach below zero temps.

I believe you are correct sir. I’m new here didn’t know everyone is so politically correct. Must be actual mechanics which I am not. I could barely fix a sandwich. My outside temps was only -20 but next week will be coldest it’s ever been here -30! Hope it doesn’t get worse.

most forums have folks that are stickler for details, and more than happy to share info to get folks up to speed. it seems odd when the horse doesn't drink the water, though. in this case you weren't thirsty!

No its not the quality of the DEF its the cold that causes issues as DEF freezes at -12°C and the system does not work as well as it should for me it was the -30 to-45 that was the issues
 
What a terrible system. Good thing I paid $120k for my truck. I didn’t have this issue last winter not sure why this winter is different. I even drove threw -40 blizzard in North Dakota.
 
I’m not the kinda guy that could get away with it. I cross usa border too often. They ask or accuse me of delete all the time. If it was personal truck I would.
