Thank you for the detailed video 👌
so what is causing the def injector to keep getting clogged? mine does this alot.
@@jorgefacio690 the reason why the def injector keeps getting clogged is because the gasket is a metal ring that doesn’t have any seal has a slight beveled edge that sits inside the housing, but no true seal also the def that spring out is spraying against a hot surface which the def and makes it get corroded and clogged
Thanks
Where to get that blue def tank lock? Can u share link?
I got mine from velocity Freightliner Fontana, California
Thanks ! Like and sub❤
That shit happens every day even if you clean your def injector or replace it with the new one
Will the derate disappear after cleaning
Just want to say thanks for this demonstration. Finally a diagnosis matched my problem and this gave it exactly what it needed and saved me a ton of money. I was worried about it not regening, but after cleaning that pump it got all 3 light when I turned the dash back on. I got the switch and it finally agreed with me it was time. Regen completed, lights cleared, problem has not returned. Thank you!
Every time and on every truck I could never initiate a regen with the switch on dash options. I’ve been told it tells you when you need it and only then you can use it unless you have the software. Is there any way without software?
What SPN Code Came Up?
What tool you use to get bolts out
Thank you so much. I had same this problem month an ago and dealership at jonestown PA charged me $6250 , they changed def pump , meetering unit and few other sensors but my truck did same problem again after 2 weeks. Then saw your video and fix by myself its running good now no issues at all. I Appreciate for your helpful video
that sounds great maybe I oughta start charging that’s a heavy bill pay now you know and hopefully you can make that money back spread the word that’s great
Had this same problem, needed a new one box
unfortunately, I’ve had the same problem where I had to replace my one box problem with that is it’s expensive. I paid $18,000in 2019. three months later I had the same problem with my truck. They gave me some dumb answer that my sensors were bad. Fortunately, I replaced all the sensors on the one box so I knew that wasn’t it. It was leaking injector, putting all the buildup of inside the box after I cleaned it up, I had no more problems
@@gearedlowslow4827 I wa thinking of changing that injector. Just tired of throwing parts at it with the same results
Would anyone be interested to know to remove the derate through the laptop?
Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Good video
I’m glad it helped
THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR!!
i’m glad it worked for you sometimes it will take a bit for your system to recognize it’s clean right on keep them wheels rolln👍
Bro you are the man‼️‼️‼️ i had to do those process twice. The 1st time no results after 45 min rgen the second time after a 45 min rgen nothing, same engine light. I limped 30 miles down the road back to full power baby‼️‼️🙏🏾 no engine light‼️
Unplug your egr valve and you be good to go
Thank you for making this video and for keeping it simple and easy to understand.
Thx
Thank you so much for your help in this video I just save thousands 👍
Hello,Brother I have Freightliner cascades 2014 on million miles.Truck is very good.I change oil and grease my self.Use blue def gallons from long time.All truck everything is good but little bit heavy load everyday need Regen.some time code spn 3364 fmi 2.some time another code.Machnic said everything is good.Please help me every day regen is hard some time load late.Grapevine Hill every time need regen
let’s talk regen when we’re your dpfs last cleaned if you did a lot of idling over the hot months it’s time to clean the dpfs
ok 3364fm2 poor def quality DOES NOT MEAN BAD DEF it means the spray quality is poor take out your def injector clean it with water clean out all the dry def buildup with a pick tool & vacuum all of that buildup out don’t hit the scr’s if you look inside the injector hole you’ll see all the white buildup it’s hard so pick it out
Just as a reminder, going over those mountain range like the grapevine, more diesel means more weight and drop a gear. Keep the RPMs under 1500. It will help your motor and help your emissions.
What temperature should the water be?
It just Hass to be a bottle of water water dissolves dry DEF corrosion because it’s water and urea so just a regular bottle water for conversation sake, room temperature
How often do you change def filter? Thank you
I change my DEF fluid filter twice a year once in the cold season once in the hot season because the hot season it evaporates pretty quick and you might get some bits in the bottom of the tank so it’s good to change it cold season because it’s cold and the DEF stays in the tank longer once again, you get the bits and pieces my DPF filters and serviced them once a year now I buy my filters my death filters online it’s cheaper. All you have to do is look online and you’ll be able to find it easily.
@@gearedlowslow4827 Thank you Sir🫡
How many days did you go before the next regen???
It just depends if the inside of your one box where the deaf injector connects to if you don’t clean that out and you just poke the hole of dry DEF it could build up right away. If you have a bad injector, it’s just constantly leaking it could build up really quick as well because it’s constantly leaking if it’s been more than a year and your filters are dirty that could be the problem if your deaf, injector seal ring is leaking could dry it out really quick it just depends
Thank you. Sir. What kind. Of screws are they?
First thanks for watching my video Second the poop def quality is not the type of def it means poop def spray quality! The tip of the def injector is smaller than the tip of a ball point pen, it clogs and around the spray drys and the def get hard like a rock so it may be time to change out the metal seal ring that goes around the injector. I hope this helps stay safe and keep on Rolln’
I have a Volvo not a freightliner with a Cummins and I put DEF in and a couple of hours later I got codes and the def light so later I stopped and put in some fresh def in (what little I could get in) and the dinging bell keep on going off I ran about another 250 miles shut the truck off for about10 minutes just long enough to check in for my loaded trailer when I cranked up the light had gone off and the truck went back to 100% power and no more problems but as soon as I get a chance I'm going to check the injector to see if it needs cleaning thanks for the Video now I know what to do next time but I'm going make it a part of my maintenance routine to keep it clean.
Where does the def injector bolt on to?
the def injector bolts on to the side of the one box
Thanks to you i spend 0$ this video saved the day,god bless 🙌
that’s what I like to hear that it helped some one out pass the word on and safe out there🎉
Thank you so much ...did everything step by step and looks like it worked out. Saved us so much time and money.
i’m glad it helped 🎉
Great video! I have same problem,I do
i hope it helped
I just new filters put In my one box still having 2 regen every other day. Wiring harnesses, dozer valve, inner/outer nox sensor was replaced about a year ago. Don't know what else too do. The main code I keep getting is 4364 fmi 18
after getting your filters replaced did they do a test to see what your 1box is converting “NOx” it should be converting at around 98%. If it’s not & your numbers are low SCR maybe the problem, one more option as a whole you need to change your DEF filter, clean your 7th injector from carbon & clear the carbon in the seventh injector housing and also clean the buildup, dry deaf around the DEF injector vacuum it all out and change out the DEF injector metal seal that goes around the base of the deaf injector so air doesn’t get inside that seal is important. if you’ve done all of that changing out your one box and all the sensors on it is the next thing but that’s very costly between 14 and $18,000.
Thanks bro you saved my day
I’m glad it helped you out 👍
I’m glad I could help
Thank u for u video, it really helped me out, as a soon as I cleaned that def injector I was able to manually regen the truck. Ur a life savor!
Thanks bro, very helpful video Helped me on the road 🙏
Glad it helped👌
My truck was derated at 25% because the DEF wire harness was chaffing against the frame. Cost me $800 to get it fixed and replace a couple of wires.
So there are many things that can go wrong this is how I fixed my problem
@gearedlowslow4827 did everything you said, and a forest region still have a check, engine lights and blinking def Codes Spn 3361 FMI 5 Spn 3364 FMI 2 Spn 4364 FMI 18 Spn 5246 FMI 15
@gearedlowslow4827 I definitely wouldn’t mind sending you 25%. If you can help me get this going man.
this video save my $2500 from tow tnx alot ur the best
What year is your truck? My truck does look the same, doesn’t have the same type
Why your diesel fall that fast
You are amazing! God bless you!
