The cost alone for this one repair is more than just having parts fall off the truck. Thanks for sharing. I think you helped me make up my mind about how I will handle this long term once warranty is up. If the govt doesn't want people taking matters into their own hands they need to offer a lifetime warranty on all emissions parts and reimburse the manufacturers provided they aren't producing garbage to begin with so that they start milking the govt with a constant stream of repairs. It is either they back this stuff up with coverage or people will have no choice but to do the needful.

@@stinson87 the milage lock down is exactly why I deleted. It stranded me once, never again! I had a week long industrial service I was heading to, 600 miles, 200 miles in I got an error.

My husband and I want to thank you for making this video. You explained it very well. I have a 2014 Ram 2500, and over a week ago, I was in town when the DEF message came on with the 150-mile warning. I got it home, looked it up on CZcams, found your video, and had a hard time finding the pump, but I finally found one and ordered an injector. I ordered the pump tool from your Amazon link (thank you so much for that). My husband put it in no problems. When I started the truck, the DEF message went away. We drove it a short distance a few times. Then I took it to town, which is 45 miles. To get my check engine light to go off, we did not have a code reader. So found out if you turn the key two clicks before it starts 4 times, let all the dash lights finish before you go on to the next, then one more time but when all the dash lights go out, start the truck. So you do it five times, and on the 5th time, you start the vehicle. Check Engine Light went out right away. The first time I did it, I went too fast, and it did not work. Thank you again. It saved us half what they were going to charge to fix.
You don't really need that tool...Just a screwdriver and your hand , I have removed dozens of these retainers just been careful ! Don't mean to be mean ! I bought one of these tools once to remove the plastic retainers on GM fuel pumps just to realize that You don't need any tool !
Great video thanks for putting it out there. To keep from dealing with the mess of the DEF spilling out when you pull the pump I was able to siphon the DEF out of the tank by disconnecting the filler line where it goes into the top rear of the tank. I then inserted a rubber tube into the tank and put the other end into a drain pan. To start the siphon I used the air hose with a blower nozzle. Blew air into the tank (60 psi) while holding a rag around the hose to seal off the opening. The DEF fluid seeks low pressure so the siphon starts and drains the tank. There will still be some spillage but very minimal. Hope this helps someone.
Those reddish rubber flappers are in fact the heaters ,def will freeze around -12 celsius,that thick popcicle thing is the sender for the gauge in dash.
Good information here: watch expiration date on DEF and never purchase from pump def station (gets hot and this shortens life of Def). Never allow to get below 30% during winter months.

I couldn’t tell you I’ve only use the mopar one, so I don’t know how reliable the other ones are. I got an Amazon one linked in the description you could probably try it
Thanks for the video. Too bad they don't put a drain plug on that tank since the pump is on the bottom sometimes I really wonder about these manufacturers
Yes, transmission pans, front and rear diffs, fuel and def tanks all should have a way to drain them. Obviously designer/engineers aren't required to work on any of these things before they start pushing these out on an assembly line. It would only take one advertising about the ease of maint features and they would all change over night.
My neighbor had this happen to his truck, the Dodge dealer in North Bay Ontario Canada is charging over $6000 for this. Just be cautious going there. And they really screwed around aswell, he lives 1 hr drive from the dealership so they drove him back half the distance. Didn't offer a replacement vehicle and didn't call back with updates.
No it didn’t but probably because once they came on I didn’t drive it. It stayed parked. I preformed all the test it said to do in the service manual so I knew it was bad at that point.
Went in for 30k service on a 2021. Topped of the DEF, drove 100 miles got the 150 mile warning, went to different dealer as I was on a trip, dealer says their is a fault in the tank, they are ordering part. I don’t see why this would go bad like this on a newer truck. I took off the injector and cleaned a little, there is also crystallized def on the on under the pump. I heard another person had same issue after dealer fixed computer recall at 30k. Ram needs to come up with a fix for this as these trucks are too much money to have these types of issues that debilitate the vehicle with no quick fix available.
Yeah it sucks because the parts are way overpriced. Try running peak blue def platinum. I been using that an it’s cut down on the crystalizing. If it was crystallized under the pump that makes me think the pump was leaking or the pump seal went bad. Hope they get it fixed fast parts seem to be in short supply I’ve heard.
@@4MRanch yeah I filled it up at the pump about 100 miles before it did this with it running. Noticed it took a few minutes before the gauge moved. They say it is a fault in the tank. Part should be a couple days. I noticed on the inside of the gas flap it shows not to overfill DEF. I had no idea. Don’t think they should be so sensitive. I am a hotshot driver and was in the middle of trip. Saw others that had the same issue after overfilling…
My fight is it seems the heater elements have crapped out, still pumps but my gauge is bouncing around plus it false reads half full then drops to empty then gives the (240km to empty) warning, up here in Manitoba we had -60f so the dealer said probably just got froze up.
Wow that’s cold! It got -16 this year here coldest it’s been in like 12 years. My truck did good no problems. I don’t know if the heater could keep up in that cold you would think it should be able to. I think they need to put a block heater style plug in on the def tank that ties into the block heater so when you plug it in it keeps both heated.
@@4MRanch Yeah i have it in the shop with the pump plate opened and a heater under it to thaw, if it doesnt solve it i might just have to bite the bullet n pull the pump, tho mine is a 2015 so it'd be cheaper to just delete it, not an issue up here......yet.
Hope it works for you. It sucks when your truck is down. I’d do mine but I use it commercially some times for my dirt work business. I don’t really want to risk getting checked. Although I did drive my 07 for 8 years deleted no issued but the world is getting crazier with all this eco friendly bs
how many miles are on the truck? i see it was about 6 years until this. basically planning additional PM's for my truck. have you tried soaking the pump in boiling water like the injector? maybe it got gummed/crystalized up?
It was in the 175,000ish miles. No never tried putting it in water. I t got to where it wouldnt even pump at all wouldnt even make a noise like it was trying to work.
@@4MRanch good to know, im at 80k on a 2019 currently, just trying to stay 50 state legal and figured preventative measures may help. my neighbor just lost his entire dpf system, injectors, pump, and the tank was damaged getting the pump out. Ill probably pull mine at 100k to inspect and clean. Thanks for the info!
I bought it through mopar tech authority but they have now shut them off. So you have to just pay per day. Really makes me mad they did that because I spent almost $200 for the usb manual.
I like the ram boxes for holding my ratchet straps and stuff but I do wish they had some sort of latch adjustment on them because they don’t shut as tight as I would like them to, But I haven’t looked at the new models they may have fixed the issue
Is the pump and sensor for the gauge together in the pump?, Question my DEF gauge is struck and will not move. Getting P203E code with the tank full . Or do I have to replace the tank ?
Yes the gauge is in the pump. I think it’s called a sonar board or something like tans and it does not read until it’s exposed to air. So you have to burn a few gallons before it reads since the pump is mounted from the bottom. So if the gauge isn’t working in the pump then you have to buy a new pump since it’s built in. I would pull the pump out and look inside the tank make sure it’s clean. Soak the white side of the pump in some hot water carful not to get any water of def in electrical connections. Put the pump back in and put about 2 gallons in and see if it fixed it pumps can cost almost 2,000$. Sometimes you can find them on eBay for around 950$
Anybody know what the function is of the stainless steel tube in the bottom nozzle of the pump is for? I lost it and I put it on the truck without it. No codes yet, searching for a replacement. he shows it at 4:30
Hey man this is a great video, very informational. I do have a question, after you disconnect your hose from the injector and turn on your truck is your pump supposed to be pumping def right away? Thank you
@@4MRanch after I disconnected the hose from my injector and I started my truck I don’t see anything h coming out. yes my scanner is giving me 3 codes P208A U0001 P020D
No, no tuve que reiniciarlo. Después de un par de ciclos de conducción, se reinició automáticamente una vez que detectó que la bomba estaba funcionando.
I paid $799 yesterday, plus a bunch to have overnighted to me. They said they warranty it for 1 year. Dealer wanted like $1350 but still on back order until mid July (until the date slides again).
There is a little drop down arrow to the right of the title of the video. ^ looks like that symbol but pointing down. Click that and it should open the description and you find down in the links at the bottom.
Is the pressure sensor built into the pump? I keep getting the p20e8. Everything is clean at the doser. It pumps plenty of def out the open line. Put the doser back on and it sprays fine out the doser but it just keeps spraying intermittently, so much that the inside of the exhaust is white and just smells like def and smokes while it runs. I'm thinking the pressure sensor must be bad but can't find it.
Base on when I took my pump out it was all sealed. P20e8 is a low pressure code saying it’s not pumping enough fluid. Seems odd if yours is pumping to much that it’s causing it to smoke.
If it doesn’t detect a problem with the system it should. You can also try unhooking both batteries for 10 minutes. If it still don’t reset may have to have a scan tool or it’s likely you still have a fault in the system.
The only way to clear the message is to reflash the computer as all def messages are stored where normal tools can not reset them per the EPA. Ran into this two days ago got the dreaded countdown took it to the dealer however it had cleared by itself except for the low pressure code dealer ordered pump and was confused why or how it cleared the countdown on its own did not reflash only cleared codes and verified regen was happening then I picked it up and 5 minutes from home (dealer is an hour drive) got the countdown of death however it did not start from 200 it picked back up from the mileage I last saw when it cleared itself so I have 67 miles left. My Cummins buddy stated have to flash the EVM to get the countdown of death to reset to 200
Yeah your pump is bad if it’s not pumping you can fix it yourself it’s relatively easy if you can turn a wrench. Pumps from Mopar are about 2 thousand dollars which is in my opinion stupid for what it is. Dang thing would cost more than 300$ for what it is. You may be able to find one on eBay. That’s where I found mine. I paid 750$ for the pump 130$ for a new def line on Amazon and 69$ for an injector on eBay.
They where, this video was made at a lated date. I got several more months out of my pump before it quit working and I bought a pump for 750$ verse paying them 1500 for a pump.

Ran into this two days ago got the dreaded countdown took it to the dealer however it had cleared by itself except for the low pressure code dealer ordered pump and was confused why or how it cleared the countdown on its own did not reflash only cleared codes and verified regen was happening then I picked it up and 5 minutes from home (dealer is an hour drive) got the countdown of death however it did not start from 200 it picked back up from the mileage I last saw when it cleared itself so I have 67 miles left. My Cummins buddy stated have to flash the EVM to get the countdown of death to reset to 200
Hi how did you know that your pump was bad ?
I unhook the line and it wasn’t pumping any fluid out of it
@@4MRanch I unhook mine and nothing came out with truck running and i did not here the pump.
It’s more than likely bad Do you have a check engine light on?
@@4MRanch I have a check engine light and a derate message took to dealer said 6000.00 to fix.
Yeah your pump is bad if it’s not pumping you can fix it yourself it’s relatively easy if you can turn a wrench. Pumps from Mopar are about 2 thousand dollars which is in my opinion stupid for what it is. Dang thing would cost more than 300$ for what it is. You may be able to find one on eBay. That’s where I found mine. I paid 750$ for the pump 130$ for a new def line on Amazon and 69$ for an injector on eBay.
4M Ranch so win are you going to say the dealer was right ? You keep saying they was wrong. Time to eat crow.
They where, this video was made at a lated date. I got several more months out of my pump before it quit working and I bought a pump for 750$ verse paying them 1500 for a pump.
@@4MRanch I say you still won the fight, saved a pile of money and lube, lol.
Thanks agreed! I was able to fix it without bending over. Ha
