Rock solid, Thank you. Bought my first diesel. 2022 F250. You are teaching me a lot. Much appreciated. $16,000 to $20,000 to fix the blue/green mix up. When this happens, and it happens a lot, don't forget to call your insurance company to check your coverages.
I always run EDT on fueling up… Even after 3 years of owning my f250, at the pump I always look at the truck before picking my fuel since I also have a gas truck.
super solid video i just got my first diesel
truck and this was very helpful
OUTSTANDING!!!!
I am looking to get a 2020 or newer F350 with the powerstroke diesel. Never had anything like this, although I was a semi driver for 12 years. These things aren't cheap, so I'm looking at this as my "last pickup I'll ever buy" type of purchase.
$16,000 on top of the purchase price does NOT sound like good economic planning to me, so thank you for this video!!!
😂 I laughed out loud when you did the raw raw raw and shweeeeeeee sounds. Literally the sounds I make when thinking about buying a diesel 😂
Great Video! You have some good tips, I never would have thought of the return filter! I’m going to add one to my Duramax 2022 6.6. A couple thoughts and additions to your tips-
1) don’t idle excessively to warm up. Start it, idle for 20-30 seconds, start to drive it, gently. That’s the fastest most efficient way to warm up. Turn on your heat seat and steering wheel if you must. Modern diesel engines are well built, and there’s no real need to idle for 15 minutes. Just don’t bag the crap out of it when cold!
2) another idling tip- the more you idle, the more it will regen. Old school truckers idled because their starters and batteries had a had time firing up that heavy diesel engine. Not an issue with modern diesels. They’ll start with very little problem in ridiculously cold temps!
3) Biggest Tip!! DONT wait for your oil monitor to get to zero percent before you change the oil!! Change it every 3-4000 miles or 5-6000 kilometers. Too many engine shops are replacing engines because the oil pan is full of, you guessed it, sludge. Oil galleries are smaller, tolerances are tighter, so change the oil more, it’s the cheapest insurance you can buy for long engine life!!
I use truck stops for DEF fills, never worried about expiration, saves lots of money and hassle. The Chevy drivers at work I know HATE the DEF system, especially when the tank is first to hit anything offroad... BD high idle is great! Have mine mounted using OBD2 port bracket.
Holy crap DEF/Diesel segment. We get it.
People still do it
Shrapnel sounds good in certain neighborhoods!!!
Everything cost 16k to fix, bummer, lol. Thanks for the breakdown on the DEF. Didn't know the break down of it.
Great video very informative!
Now that’s a 10 -4 little buddy! Que question😅
Run your exhaust brake. It will help keep the veins in the turbo clean and less wear on your brakes.
Seems like when I use my engine break, it feels like it's still on even after I turn it off.
Stumbled on your channel and I am enjoying your content. I recently tried doing some modifications with Forscan, and was not able to add the Exhaust Filter percentage under the Maintenance Monitor. I was able to add the Auto Regen check box, but not the percentage. Do you happen to know which module that can be found under? Thanks in advance!
16000 - Great video and great information!
Great video!!!
Should have got a Ram. The add-ons you mentioned are built in on my truck (high idle, DPF status, etc)
I traded my ram on the ford
Great video
16,000! Thanks for the tips!
Got my first diesel on Monday so i have been researching a lot on what to do and not to do. 14 F250 is what i got. Now i have a few friends who have told me to replace the CP4 with the DCR or a disaster prevention kit. What is the S&S filter you reference.
You need to keep an eye out on the expiration dates on the DEF boxes.... they can be a couple of years old....NOT GOOD....I get my def from the local truck fuel stations...the Pump handle is BLUE.... they go through DEF like crazy because of the usage...And there are some Chevy U tubers complaining about the location of there DEF fill under the hood...they need a stool to reach(Truck Hight)...Thanks for the cool Video
I like those tires. Why brand and size are they? Do they make a lot of noise on the road? Great vid !
Thanks I have zero experience with diesel I was just curious.
Thank you about to plunge into to Des
Heck ya! Thank you 16K!!!!!
helpful thx
I thought the blue cap was for windshield washer fluid 😱
Uh oh lol
Would you use the def at a truck stop that you pump in ?
Has anyone blown their 4 wheel drive seals? I have a 22 Tremor. The dealer said they get 2-3 per week?
16,000! Thanks sharing the knowledge
My 2015 F250 went through all kinds of antics during a regen but I needed to upgrade to an F350 2020 Dually and I have only seen it give a regen notice once in 34k miles and have never smelled it. So Ford must be getting something better. I feel like if you are working these engines they like it much better. If you are putting around town in one they don't like that. Also, the only time you should do an extended amount of idling is after a hard pull to cool off the turbo so it doesn't get what is called coking (cooking the oil in a hot turbo). I watched a TH-cam video and easily installed a high idle operated from my #1 auxiliary switch when I warm up (yes it will actually warm up on high idle) or extend idle. Diesels get a bad rap but everything that is wrong with them is without a doubt the governments fault. And we all know 97% of "government funded" scientists say we are destroying the planet or they better say that or look for other employment.
16,000! thank you sir for all the information. Looking at buying my first diesel truck in the coming months and I feel well informed with this video. Thank you for taking the time and effort to educate me.
Appreciate you watching diesels are totally worth it just gotta treat them right
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA that’s the common denominator in every video I’ve watched. Maintain perfect maintenance and it increases your chances of a long life for the truck. The bypass kit for cp4 if it hasn’t been addressed yet in my future vehicle is the first to be installed, followed by high idle switch, and I’ll have to find someone with Forscan so I can watch for the regen and make sure I don’t turn it off until complete. Thank you again!
I miss the 7.3 powerstroke.
2012 duramax cost my coworker $18,000 last year when his pump went. I guess you just Keep that Hammerdown and set some money aside for a rainy day
Gotta get that return filter save you the cash so you can continue to keep that hammer down
Maybe I missed it what’s the cost for the system and the links please
Buy the SPE disaster prevention kit this saves the cp4 all the way around and separates the top and bottom of the pump don’t buy the S&S return filter kit for 1200 waste of money and doesn’t separate the bottom and top of the pump
Use Lucas injector cleaner cheaper and Easier to find works the same basically transmission fluid like what was used back In the day just measure and put In the tank
Then buy spe ccv delete/reroute kit to save your main seal and remove crankcase pressure and not have blow by down the road
CCV doesn’t require programming remove and install
Thoughts on an additional aftermarket catch-can? Australians swear by them for their LandCruisers, and you can't really argue with folks that run their vehicles 20+ years and several hundred thousand miles.
I learned that every part on a diesel engine or truck costs $16k… good to know.
With the def I use a def refractor meter every time I fill my def up. It tells you the concentration of urea to water which should be around 32.5 urea and 67.5 water.
interesting - what do you normally for a reading get and from what brand?
Heh. My blue cap remains, but it goes nowhere 😅
I bought a locking fuel cap for my diesel. I only unlock it when getting fuel, and I never fill DEF at the truck stop - I only add DEF at home.
I’m such a stickler on this that when traveling out West, I bought diesel at Love’s but drove to a Walmart to buy DEF and add it in the parking lot.
I didn't notice if you have any aux switches. If you do have them, then why make a hidden High Idel switches instead of to an aux switch
I have upfitter switches but this way i can control the idle speed instead of just on or off
If the injection pump slings metal, it goes to the injectors along with returning to the tank so your add on return filter will definitely NOT save your injectors.
A few things, if you can delete the EGR/DEF/DPF system. Get rid of that crap, change out that CP4 with the S&S DCR injection pump conversion, and use a FASS system. Guess what, no more worrying about $16,000 dollars.
Here is something have found myself asking now I don't have a diesel and never had one but I have found myself asking a simple question and that I why are spewing an ammonia out the exhaust and no is thinking about it
Have you priced doing all that? Not yourself. Paying for it all and parts required to delete? It’s not far from $16k if it works correctly
i havnt used def for 2 months haha
I've never had a diesel, but still I couldn't imagine how anybody could mess this up. I do need to know how often to fill the def.
If the def expiration date is so important, why in the hell do the makers put it in code😂 They do the same thing with beer. And these trucks high idle on their own when needed in the cold, so Im not understanding the need for a high idle switch???
The high idle is absolutely necessary on a diesel. Age old myth is you can idle a diesel indefinitely. Don't you believe it. Doing so will cause your cylinder walls to glaze over time which will destroy the engine. People listen to the semi's idling at truck stops and think nothing of it. But what they don't realize is, they are on high idle. RAM's come with this feature built in. You can use it by setting the cruise control while the truck is in park. It ramps up to about 1000 RPM's upon initial setting and every time you press the + button it adds another 50 RPM's up to a max of 1400.
Anybody else out there have a 2020 Powerstroke that never, ever notifies you that a regen is happening?
I’ve put 11K miles on it and not once have I seen a regen or DPF % notification.
Occasionally, I see my mileage dropping and I assume that’s the regen happening but I don’t know for sure.
I got Forscan to turn on all that stuff but haven’t had the time to mess with it, yet.
Thanks!
A Rod added a particulate filter gauge on mine with forscan so you can see how full it is also it shows on my idash
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA I guess Forscan is the answer. It’s crazy to me that Ford doesn’t notify you of this “ultra-important function”. 🙄
I’ll just do it myself, Ford. Thanks for the death wobble, too!
I appreciate the reply, man! 👍🏻
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA I did see that in your video. Watched the whole thing. Not my first diesel but good video, nonetheless.
Kinda don’t want to sell my EPA-free 6.0, now…
You can’t even fit the diesel lip into that def cap 😂😂😂
lol, I love how everything is "16,000 dollars." I know it's expensive, just funny i laughed.
Ram was the first to put Def in the fuel door.
Well, you have absolutely convinced me to buy the 7.3 gasser. Lol.
they are fine for most people but it you tow a lot or want the incredible power of the diesel I feel its worth it
My last truck was a 6.0 L which you can do your own research on that. So I figured I would give it another try and right now my 6.7 L with 88,000 miles is at the shop with a fuel pump that ate itself and the tab is $15,000.00 ….and it’s the only part on the drivetrain extended warranty that is not covered. It’s totally bullshit.
@@ronball81
I hate that for you Man. Did you by chance have that return filter that he mentions in the video?
@@d.hayward5232 I just got my truck back about a week ago. They had it for four months waiting on the contamination kit as they are back ordered across the country... No not yet but I am sure as hell getting one... Obama had most of the oil and sulfur taken out for EPA bullshit, so Ive been dumping Hot Shot Everyday Diesel Lube in it until I can afford one.... I'm a little tapped out right now to say the least.
@@ronball81Go figure. It's almost like they know fuel pumps are a problem.
DEF does not have a shelf life. What it has is a storage life. If it stored in an unopened container at or below 55 degrees it will last indefinitely. If you open a container you have 30 days to dump it in to your def tank. If you store it in your truck on a hot summer days you might have 90 days use. It’s how it’s stored. Store between 55-80 degrees two year shelf life.
The code date on the DEF box is the expiration date.
No it’s not. Cite your sources stating that. Peak Old World Industries has stated there is no expiration date. It’s how you store that causes problems (Old World Industries, 2024).
Old world industries customer service DEF division, 2/14/2024.
@@wildmanofthewynooch7028 I checked their website and it states “Ammonia has a strong chemical smell and there was concern that the consuming public would be adverse to using DEF if it had a chemical smell. With twelve years into Europe using DEF and eight years for the US, shelf life has not been a problem. In addition, the DEF market has reached a consumption level that there is no reason for anyone not to be turning their inventory, even on a store shelf, within a year. Overall, the shelf life for DEF should not pose a concern.”
Take from it what you will.
The DEF fluid is usually good for one to two years from manufacture date if stored correctly. Or use a digital refractometer to measure the concentration of urea in the fluid.
Just keep an eye on the fluid itself. It should be clear not cloudy.
Special Eddy
Solve the DEF problem just get your DEF at truckstops. Always fresh.

@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍 guess you can't please every one. Thanks for the info,bud👍👍
Ford did this better .
STEP 1 - DELETE IT :)
To much talking get to the point.
Def definitely gay
Finding a friend that has an address in a non emissions compliant county is your best bet. Unless you have the money to buy property in a non emission county. Deleting your modern diesel should be a first priority in order to avoid comforming to a society that is governed by third-party agencies and destroying your own property at the same time. Emissions systems cut down your machines' life span and fuel economy regardless of maintenance. If you take this into consideration, the carbon footprint is the same, if not more, than a straight piped, clean tuned diesel engine. Additives and routine maintenance keep a diesel engine happy, but if you're willing and able to delete and straight pipe, please do.
@bumassnigga1554
I'm looking at a 2020 F350 that is "delete/tuned". You think that is the way to go then? It has under 20k on it.
