Hey viewer and subscribers this video was base on experience I had before where the DEF getting bad was the problem but in this case because I'm try to figure out the problem myself I really thought it was the DF this time but I admit I'm wrong it wasn't the real problem was this... th-cam.com/video/UBl7874KE8Y/w-d-xo.html
Yes I’ve known this expiry for a long ti time, ALSO!!, heat will also degrade it . Plus the DEF which was originally a waste byproduct of fertilizer plants is seriously dirty and must be filtered with filter changes a couple times during bulk delivery to bulk plants. How do I know this you ask? I hauled chemicals for many years and DEF was one of them. Some bulk plants were lazy at filter changes for the sake of time to speed it up which amounted to the same delivery time, meaning the time to change out filter amounted to same time difference of not changing with a progressively restricted flow. Also beware of the dirty nozzles at truck stops and shake out residue before putting crappy def in your tank
Bless up mi general...1 your DEf fluid may have been contaminated the next thing you need to do is check your decomposition tube where the dosing injector is and check for Crystal build up around the edges and 2 whenever you see green on wires you need to change the entire wire harness the green corrosion can go inside the wires from the pin connector......
In the winter def has a freezing point of -11C after that when you do a PM on your truck let's say in the summer you you have to drain it out and put one thats not expired. Always try and check the date of the jug. Try and avoid Ambassador Bridge Amex Duty free diesel fuel and def, ask people that are aware of it they will tell you to try and avoid but if you have no choice just make sure to flush your fuel system and change the def filter and sensor.
I would have to disagree with you on the DEF debate, you should be filling DEF at truck stops, they go through huge volumes, plus it’s way cheaper, and keep it full so it does not have a chance to crystallize never ever had major problems on my 2015 Volvo 780 with DEF and DPF system, only regular maintenance and the odd sensor, make sure you change the DEF filter every year just before winter, keep up the good work!
Nice 👍👍 2015 volvo VNL780 👍. They always put new Def on the old 1 and if your truck is too sensitive the light will come on. What's a odd sensor?? I think I need to change my DEF filter too..
TroyStarz TRUCKING VLOGS I mean once in a while a nox sensor or pressure sensor, no big deal, keep it full if you get bad batch of def it will mix with the good def fluid and you will be okay, I have a great relationship with a Volvo shop in London ontario and the manager gives me all the tech support I need, I do 95% of my own preventative maintenance and constantly educate myself on the D13, I’m getting 8.2mpg, you should budget about a 1k per year on ATS (After treatment system) for maintenance, don’t clean your DPF filter until your MPG starts dropping, I cleaned my DPF filter for the first time at 600,000km and it could have gone another 200,000km before it needed to be clean !
@@terryj-londonontariocanada4605 hey I need your help I had my def at half a tank and it’s cold and I just filled it up at truck stop and all the code 5246/0 popped up. I think it crystallized and it derate to 5 as soon as I put new def in it
Good video bredda, i got a 2015 freightliner cascadia and i have to be checking the components because as a used truck most of the parts are older now and need replacing causing the lights on the dashboard. And those Landstar trailers, when you get a good one, just try keep it. Keep trucking bro. Bless
Since you are based out of ontario but you are plated in the states, do you still need to get a favor and get your inspection stickers for ontario or do you get us inspection stickers?
No I get it in done on ontario because my truck was and registered in canada. The reason for plating in IL its because Landstar head office is from the states.
@@TroyStarzTruckingVlogs ohhhh okay thank you man for the info. Did you have to change your license over to Ontario to title it there? I want to come to Ontario to buy my truck but keep my license here in NS... But not sure if it is possible
@@TroyStarzTruckingVlogs okay didn't know if I had to change it to title the truck. My plan was to fly to Ontario and buy the truck and get setup with Landstar there. Thanks for your time man be safe out there! I was at the Flying J in Napanee, ON last night and saw a Landstar driver with a volvo that looked like yours. Wasn't you who hopped out of it though hahaha.
Hey man you need to work on your title of video...you should make little like more common and attractive which helps you to increase viewers and also people can easily get your video if your introduction is similar to others ...and great work man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes that was new to me I have a Mercedes sprinter 2019 and I had the light that come out that I ignored but 1 day after I had a massage that I have only 10 start to do so I run to the dealer and he told me that the def I used was expire I start to laugh and I told him r u joking right? But he was serious
That's what happened when your trying to find a problem without going to the dealer but the real problem was this… th-cam.com/video/UBl7874KE8Y/w-d-xo.html I was going to take down this video but there some good ideas in there that's why but the light cord was a different problem on my it's self.. Thanks for Watching👍 I hope didn't misleads anyone but there are times when the def got bad and was taking out by the dealer I they charge me for it so it's still a thing to keep in mind 👍👍
@@oscarcontreras940 it doesn't make your vehicle engine burn cleaner as it is sprayed just before the catalytic converter which is after the engine burn process but what it does is converts the NOx gasses to water.
When that message come “Poor def detected engine will derrate 5 mph in 180 minutes “ try this : pour a liter or half a gallon of ammonia that will makes the def molecules stronger and will take that derrate message off since the def is based on ammonia it just will concentrate the liquid but if it doesn’t then it means that you have Be prepare cuz those repairs aren’t cheap the most common issues with this is that the hydrocarbon aftertreatment air valve purge get stuck open or closed due to the dirt coming from the air dryer that’s why is very important to change the air dryer filter more often so normally also you have to replace the air pressure doser valve , the pressure regulator and also the little def filter that goes in the around the def tank you are talking about a repair cost of about $1,500 to $2,000 depending the shop you brought it to good look..

TCS is the “TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM” for the tractor, you can turn it on and off.

Thank you I really need to do it👍👍
Your welcome 👍🏻😇
Sir TroyStarz,
I want to link you up about how to get started as a trailer driver in Canada. I am a Jamaican in Jamaica
Just send me on email or you can asked the question here👍👍👍
What is your email?
Can't mix it, can't let it sit in the sun, can't let it freeze, it's better to delete it
Yes that was new to me I have a Mercedes sprinter 2019 and I had the light that come out that I ignored but 1 day after I had a massage that I have only 10 start to do so I run to the dealer and he told me that the def I used was expire I start to laugh and I told him r u joking right? But he was serious
News to me they used to just tell me to pick it up at the shop
The trailer is back feeding
I hate these DEF top ups..I always miss them
found out about it once my check engine light came on 💀
So your pumping out DEF because your light cord is corroded???
That's what happened when your trying to find a problem without going to the dealer but the real problem was this… th-cam.com/video/UBl7874KE8Y/w-d-xo.html

What is the DEF for ?
I'll send you a video explaining it later
it's injected into the exhaust pipe just before the catalytic converter and turns the NOx gases into water for enviromental reasons.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid(makes your diesel engine burn cleaner and pollute less)
@@oscarcontreras940 it doesn't make your vehicle engine burn cleaner as it is sprayed just before the catalytic converter which is after the engine burn process but what it does is converts the NOx gasses to water.
Troy start think about a new truck to much preblom with that one
True I am👍👍
Think u have spend about 2g are more in the month
Damn...Didn't know bro.
Yes i know def has expiring date
Old truck gang OR do the quick fix, some of the companies that don't take the older trucks dont even worth going to
That's so true
Where do you buy your DEF from
I normally go inside the truck stop
Sell your truck and get one that doesn't need def
Get one with the isuzu 3.9l
👍👍🤣🤣

Will putting ammonia in a diesel car work the same way
Mi would a delete di def
Don’t listen to those fools
U didn't explain wat is def
Did I said I was going to explain what it DEF??
My friend you jumping from side to side
Sorry that these videos are in the early stages. Thanks for your feedback
Здорова друг! вступительную музыку можно сменить она отвратительна!)))) спасибо за понимание!
I heard u can put water
Here that too see trucks put in it to
Tics is traction control stability for the Tractor truck will brake some wheels by it self
Buy a scanner
Nothing wrong with it
Delete it!!!
Next time make sure you don't pass those gas stations with a def at the pump
Thanks
