II Have a 25 Ram 3500 and my Mil came on p2453 and p1c54 codes. Dpf related. My dpf Gauge is barely showing anything. My live data on my code reader is showing it is 85% full. I cleaned the def injector and codes and Mil are still there. Possibly same issue as you. Taking to dealer tomorrow...

I checked for any tsbs and only one for safety about restraint system going offline. No emissions . Is software updates different? I bought it in sep at a dealership in Idaho then drove back to AK. Di my own oil changes since the dealership is always booked and here in AK they charge $500 at...

Two weeks ago it warmed up to above 0 for our daytime temps before that we were in minus 30f or colder. My neighbor 1 ton Chevy 4wd gave out my other neighbor blew a radiator Hose and seized his engine. My other neighbor sold his f450 2 weeks ago and they picked it up last Friday. Out of...

When I called last Friday they were gone for the day and they're closed on sat. This is my farm truck so we use it for a variety of chores. My other vehicles are not capable.

I called the dealership 1St thing this morning and the next available appt is Feb 11. In Fairbanks AK there is only one dealership. In Anchorage AK there is two but that's over 700 miles from where I live. Fairbanks is closer and only 139 miles away. Not sure the Ram roadside covers that...

The dealer us 139 miles away and limp mode starts in 76 miles...I live 45 mules from the nearest town.

I removed the def injector. It had some carbon build up and not white crystallization. I cleaned it with warm water. I reinstalled it and got more codes. P2509 and p2048 and I don't remember the number of the other one something about ecu/ecm intermittent signal. Cycled truck off and on and that...

Thank you for your responses. Last night I disconnected the battery for over an hour. Was splitting wood thus more than 30 mins. I can try and clear the code just not super confident they won't come back and limp mode gives me less miles...lol I'm going to remove the def injector and check it..

Is there a way I can do a manual dpf regen?

I ran heater about 5 hrs. Started truck ans still had Mil. Connected innova 5610 code reader and it says def temp is 64f . I put a jug of def in yesterday so I know I have at least half a tank per the Gauge on the dash. Live data says def level is 0. Dpf pressure pre is.13% and post is 0. Dpf...

Trying the heater...going to run it about 4 hours again...what is the best code reader for this truck? I have the old one I used on my 17. It's an innova 5610 it reads the codes I think. The p1C54 says missing Nox sensor.

Do you think I should try the heater approach instead of looking for the dpf pressure sensor and doing some type of resistance check or cleaning it?

Hello I'm new to forums in general so apologies if I bypass any protocols. I live in Alaska and in the last 8 weeks we have not gotten warmer than -20f. 2 days ago it was 28f and yesterday it was 41f. In Ak we put heating pads on our oil Pan, and transmission Pan. We also have trickke chargers...
