“Exhaust fluid” sounds kind of like the “blinker fluid” joke except it’s actually a real thing. 😂
honestly blinker fluid would be more useful
@@85square here you go.. www.walmart.com/ip/DEF-Diesel-Exhaust-Fluid-2-Jug-Bundle/384243022 . .
13x2: 26 That discount is a sham
🤣🤣🤣
Saving the environment one plastic jug and box in a landfill at a time.
Jacob Edwards recycling hasn't gotten out your way yet? Keep an eye out, its this crazy thing people are doing now
Shamus Heart ohh cool another smart ass who knows everything. You do realize of course there is still an impact on the environment from acquiring the raw materials to produce the box and plastic that recycling does not fix. Also you are aware if the environmental impacts of the recycling process? I'm not saying that you shouldn't recycle, because recycling is much better than acquiring raw materials. But recycling also creates a footprint, it's just about 80% less than manufacturing from raw materials at least when it comes to plastic. But plastic can only be recycled so many times 6-8. But don't worry we burn it up to make electric so you can charge your car, oops yeah your electric car has emmissions they just aren't coming from your tail pipe but from the electric plant that produces your energy. Not so worried about that as I am the battery from your electric vehicle that clogs and pollutes our environment plus all the damage that comes from harvesting the materials. I find it better to walk to work, or bicycle. I find hybrid vehicles or straight electric to be the worst environmentally speaking. Hell, I would rather you bought a car that only had 8 mpg and just maintained it for the next 20 years, than creating demand by buying a new car every 4 years that gets 40. The raw materials and manufacturing that your consumerism creates is far worse.
Henry Wes wait... Im the smart ass?
Recycle the deaf jugs really??? Your logic is so sound now go to a truck stop and see how many of them jugs are sitting next to the trash cans. I absolutely guarantee you they're not getting recycled and how many truck drivers out on the road right now buying them give me a break.
@@henrywes2628 it is called "recycling". That craze he was referring to, uses pre aquired materials. No new oil, or significantly less new oil, mostly reclaimed and "recycled" oil, and "recycled" paper. I see a theme and method here. Do you?
It’s great to see someone finally seeing the advantages in a manual transmission
Only way to drive 👍🏼🔥
First couple seconds and you know he's a city boy since he's never seen a pickup bed trailer.
We have a old Chevy square body bed that we use as a scrap trailer
Hell that's standard procedure. It's not like you'll drive a gas dodge might as well save some weight for the tow.
150% 🤣
I have an old ford F250 bed for a trailer. Nice having a 3/4 ton trailer. Lol
He's clearly not in the city though he's in the suburbs
Dont forget the blinker fluid👍
John Wick this is an actual thing
Top mine off each month indication is import
I thought it was fake too lmao but its some bullshit for. Emission.
John Wick 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Ya I forgot to put blinker fluid in my Honda Civic and my v-tec wasn't working properly ALWAYS REFILL YOUR BLINKER FLUID
It doesnt limit your speed to prevent damage it limits you speed to prevent you from driving without it and polluting.
Eric And that is a stupid reason ya think? Diesel is the most efficient fuel to use over gasoline.
Not necessarily true. The DEF coats the DPF "diesel particulate filter" if the filter goes dry m, they have been known to get hot and catch fire.
+4Xprops !!!!
Efficiency and less pollution are not directly related. Nuclear energy is EXTREMELY efficient when compared to diesel and gasoline. But guess what? Nuclear waste as a result has a half-life of either 30 years or 24,000 years depending on what has been used. Which means it will stay radioactive for 60 years and 48,000 years respectively.
Who cares about the so-called diesel pollution? It's mostly just soot which falls to the ground where plants use it - but because it can be SEEN; stupid people freak out -- "The sky is falling"!
That's not a good enough reason.
If the DEF costs $16 each, then two for $25 sounds like a great deal. As long as you own that diesel, you're going to need DEF.
Its called an exhaust delete bud...
Hypothetically you could rig the float to stay up, tricking the sensor into thinking it was full
Before it goes to limp mode, it will give you a 200 mile countdown.
As a long haul driver I have to get def every 2 weeks. It helps clean out the exhaust. Without your truck won't regen correctly. It will go into limp mode which is the 5mph he was talking about. That's a safety feature just to get the truck off the road not to drive to the store or across town. You can also get the stuff at any truck stop.
Even better, most truck stops have pumps for DEF now over in the semi fill area and you can use that same pump on your Jeep or any other passenger vehicle.
Yep happened to me when 55 to 45 to 35 jumped to 15 then 5mph. I was in the middle of nowhere and made it to a truck stop rolling 5mph 😂
It's not really a safety feature. It's based on EPA regs instilled during Obama. Without the DEF system on the diesel, it will run better albiet put out more NOx. Adding DEF was a way the obama admin could gimp diesels by pouring piss into the exhaust. I mean, it's a federal offense to delete the DEF system from your diesel but it's more of an offense to gimp diesels, increase costs all the way around and it's a climate change policy that's been forced on us. The DEF system should be removed as soon as possible.
@@AZsullen 5mph sounds like such a safety hazard
I'd definitely get two, leave it in the garage, maybe a third to keep in the truck, possibly a forth to satisfy my OCD. ;-)
My ‘15 Dmax was running low and it kept bringing the max speed down 5 mph until I eventually left the highway going 35 and luckily made it to a truck stop
5:45 do not pee in your DEF tank 😳
People have done it! Ruined their trucks 😂😂😂
Ryan Mayer great video brother. I never new what it was.
It’s engineered/manufactured Uriah. This whole def shit is stupid.
@@ryan2546 that’s so dum it’s not even enough to fill the tank😂😂😂
Seriously
Might as well Order a clutch with that delete kit
cj glassey For REAL
I'm a DEF expert: buy a preregulation Cummins, learn to wrench, and put your damned tow mirrors in until you're hauling something. Heavy. Behind the truck. Something... "in tow" if you will. Like, you use them for towing, not for taking extra handicap spaces at pep boys.
lol. Wish my motorcycle came with extendable mirrors so I could tow things and take up a few extra slots on the bicycle rack in front of walmart. Honestly I probably couldn't even block one parking spot because some idiot in a huge truck would just run it over and not notice.
Baseball bat makes them mirrors fly.
LOOK at all that compensating going on there....His BF must love using the tweezers to find that tiny thing...
I always drive with my tow mirrors out cause I'm always hauling ass
California cracks me up. They have the highest pollution standards for vehicles in that state. Then they get wild fires, the size of the State of Rhode Island, spewing enough pollution for 10 million diesel engines pre-DEF. Ha. I guess mother nature didn't get the memo.
Def= best weed killer I've ever used
Seriously?!?
I need to know! If so I'm buying some
I've never heard of using def for weed killer but I do know from living in the country diesel fuel will kill weeds. Not sure how great it is for the water supply but how great can round up be.
Use "barrier year long vegetation killer" from TSC and they won't come back (1/2g to 25g water). Be sure to include a squirt of dish soap into your sprayer (surfactant) as it makes the product stick to the foliage vs beading off. Yes Dawn style dish soap. One good squirt per 25 gallons is plenty (roughly 1oz to 20g of water). If you've got heavy growth, you will need to apply again to the soil. It is a foliage eraser, be sure to use a good a flat spray wand and a steady hand. You can close down your nozzle so there's hardly any output and trace along driveway edges (touching the soil) and you won't have to edge (once every other mow quickly run along with a weed eater if your deck can't get close enough). Does wonders for fences as well. Keep it from touching bushes and you can spray around them. I spray around trees as well, keep the over spray off touching the tree as much as possible.....haven't killed one yet (10" trunks and larger). Stays on soil surface, doesn't penetrate. I've eliminated 99% of all weed eating. Works great for grass in driveway cracks. To keep grass out of gravel drives, dilute it to 1/4 gallon per 25g, and don't use the dish soap so it will penetrate the gravel (requires to apply twice as much since it's diluted).
M Hamma the dish soap def helps i will have to see if that is the stuff i got is it granular or liquid??
The way it works, is the engine will de-rate, essentially going into limp mode. So when the engine de-rates, it will drastically limit power, and in higher gears, it won't be able to hold a speed over 5mph.
DEF is used to reduce nox emissions, its injected into the exhaust stream that causes a chemical reaction reducing the nox while creating nitrogen and water. (EGR also helps reduce nox.) The speed will stay at five miles an hour because the Ecm will limit the throttle.
Government stupid regulations
I will keep my old diesel
have a DEF delete kit, works great for me
Exactly. DEF doesn't have a real mechanical function. It's an EPA regulated system, that's required in any 2010+ diesels that have more than 75HP. I saw some say it helps clean out the exhaust. I don't think this is necessarily true. Just limits the "harmful" emissions. Your exhaust should still burn correctly without it (but you can't really test this because your car's ECU will limit itself). I've also heard of issues with DEF freezing, which is plausible. It's just majority water mixed with urea. And has a freezing point of about 12 degrees fahrenheit. In this case it caused issues.
I love your truck bro. I’ve got an 03 5-spd Ram and I love seeing other great trucks!
Truck looks great brother. Keep up the good work
"Don't pee in your def tank" 😂😂
Our charger locomotives have a def system installed, when it runs out of def it sends a report to the epa for monitoring...fun fun
New to the channel. But as a truck driver and back yard mechanic, i can tell you diesel creates more nox than gasoline. Because its not a controlled ignation its caused by compression alone. That reason for def is to reduse nox emissions. Now for the diesel soot, that's the reason for the particulate filter. But a truck driver i can tell you the filters get clogged all the time. So we run bypasses. But i still run def tho we all need to reduce those emissions. Nox is the biggest contributing factor to respiratory problems and cancer.
Yes diesel better for the environment, not good for humans
Sick truck tho. I would own one but I live in Cali. 😂 I'm good with my Kenwood w900.
it's about money, the EPA doesn't do anything for safety or the environment. They kill the car industry by making everyone manufacture appliance cars and trucks that are death traps.
Uneducated butthurt alert!
Wrong. Burning diesel is also bad for the environment.
DEF is available just about anywhere. You can even buy jugs of it to carry with you. There's no excuse for running out.
I see those truck bed trailers all the time, even my neighbours have one
Seriously? I thought that was the coolest thing!
Ryan Mayer ya all the time, I don't see that many with caps but I've seen a couple with them
Matt ra me and my dad owns a truck bed is is are dumpster
Matt ra my dads trailer in high school was a 60s stepside Chevy bed
Ryan Mayer I’ve built 3 with me and my friends
That is why I love my 98, no DEF no problem! DEF systems are a joke!
YES she’s gotta go!!!
Ryan Mayer Legit brother, looking forward to the video for that one! What are you going to do with your left over leprechaun piss?
😂😂😂😂 not sure yet!!! Lol wonder if there’s a better use for it!
Ryan Mayer Hell your guess is as good is mine! If you come up with something interesting let us know bro! 😎
You can't top up a fluid every oil change? You can't do an oil change then.
Nice vid man. Good info
Thanks for the video. New to diesel ran trucks and didnt know what the signal was. Now I can fix this problem
Hey look, another truck that will never be used for what it's intended for!!!
Gotta love tar-babies with big lift kit and mud tires
YRNJAY lol I bet my 2wd gas Dakota has done more truck work than coal rolling wall hanger
chasebh89 I know right🤣 his truck is just a piece of shit show truck
455 stage-1 he bangs your mom in it. That counts? 💀
High quality commentin' right there!
I top mine off when it gets to 1/2 tank. At 1/2 tank, a 2 1/2 gallon jug will top it off. The ECM limits engine speed and output when it goes into derate (limp mode). Kiss your warranty goodbye as soon as you plug in that programmer.
To The Top Crane not really just brought mine in for warranty service. Obviously not on the power train but if you drive the way you’re supposed to you shouldn’t have any problems
rcpilot805, I suppose it's going to be dependent on the dealer. Some may be willing to ignore a programmer. However, the local dealer in my area is denying any powertrain warranty claim if a programmer has been installed. Also, I do believe the ECM records the "fingerprint" of the programmer. So, even if it's uninstalled, the dealer will still know that it had been programmed. I guess it's a risk some are willing to take. To each their own.
To The Top Crane plugging in a programmer will not void your warranty neither will deleting it , there are people that can program a truck and leave no foot prints , so if something happens install the emissions back on the truck and program back to stock ... I've had mine deleted since it had 29 miles on it and have had it in the shop for waranty 3 times 1 for a turbo actuator , 1 for water pump and 1 for a head gasket. And I have it tuned by DRD
If you have engine failure, Ram, GM, Ford will send out a rep to inspect your truck, and when that rep plugs their computer into your truck and sees it has been reprogrammed, then they will void your warranty.. The best thing to do if you're buying a brand new truck, is buy the aftermarket warranty they offer for them, I did with mine, and mine was covered in two different states, so i didn't know either dealer, but i had a $100 deductible.. I wasted two transmissions in mine within 8 months because i re-tuned it with the Bully Dog Triple Pup, a program called "Crazy Larry".. And they was both covered by my aftermarket warranty.. I'll pay $100 deductible for a $6500 trans any day..
My point is, when a newer truck has a major break down, the manufacture will send out one of their reps, and i think they do that to keep dealerships from doing warranty work on reprogrammed trucks.. Because some dealers don't care if you reprogrammed them, all they care about is getting paid to fix them..
So the dealer has to prove that the malfunction is related to the programmer before they can deny your claim even still they do nothing but process the claim, FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) are the only ones who can deny or void your warranty, the dealership can however deny service (meaning they can say they don't want to work on it) even then they would be in violation of their contract with FCA if your vehicle is still within the warranty period. Only the directly related component that you modified can be directly denied warranty. So in the case of a tuner it would be the computer/s. Keep in mind that you may have to fight with the dealership but ultimately they have to prove it caused the failure and it can't be speculation.
Example 1: Most modern cars keep track of the octane of the fuel used, if your car requires a minimum octane rating of 87 and you run 85 (sorry from CO) you technically are not running the correct fuel which a modification or running the vehicle out of specification. Then say your engine blows up, you always changed and ran the correct oil, weren't hard on it something just happened and cause a engine failure. The only way they could void the warranty on the entire engine is if the failure is directly related to running the wrong fuel the most they can void at by just running the wrong fuel is the fuel system pump or tank.
Example 2: If you replace your intake air filter not with a cold air or high performance but just general maintenance replacement, if you do not replace it with the OEM filter you have modified your intake. Take note most air filters that fit in your stock housing state they will not void you manufacture warranty this is because by law it cannot. However it can void part of your intake warranty but only the little plastic box, not your throttle body, not your turbo, not your engine and not anything else. The only way they void anything besides the little plastic box is to prove that the filter caused the component failure.
I have always run cold air intakes, I once had a MAF Sensor failure, they tried to deny the claim on the bases I had changed my intake, however I asked them to prove how it caused the failure and at first they stated the the intake was causing excessive oil build up (it was a wet filter, however the MAF wasn't oily when they pulled it out per the techs observations) then they said it wasn't filtering enough so it was causing a built up of particulate (again per the techs own observations it had no obvious excessive build up), I contact the vehicle manufacture explained the situation and was advised well yes it could void the warranty however if the filter meet their standards and the MAF had no obvious external problem (build up or oil) then it would still be covered. The next day the dealership called and said my truck was ready to be picked up and that it was covered under warranty.
This is an easy case and sometimes it is much more challenging but just remember you can't be denied just because you made a modification.
Hope this helps.
You can thank california for DEF
C:\DEAD\PIXEL thank Mercedes just filtered pig pee
fuckin California, ruining cars
Besides a few odd standardization, Cali really needs to stay away from cars.
Actually DEF started in Europe years ago. California just followed Europe.
@@MaddJakd Bruh California is so harsh on Vehicles because of the Los Angeles incident. when LA was fully covered and surround with black smog in the the air they decided to do something... so shut yo ass up, vehicles that produce less carbon are far better for future...
Dude, the first warning is at 500 miles before it's out. At 200 miles it reminds you again with a message. At 100 miles it starts putting the message in there and it dings and keeps coming back. At 50 miles left it becomes unclearable from the message center and dings every mile.
If you somehow got to empty and put into limp mode, you're either oblivious or you were purposely being an idiot.
Also, you only need 1.5 gallons of refill for the truck to detect a refill.
You driving a 45k thousand dollar truck or idk but you tripping on buying 2 DEF for 25 dollars and bought a piece for 1,000$ dollars you are beyond funny
😂😂😂😂😂😂 it’s my hobby to build trucks lolololol all apart of the game
25 $ add up really fast after so long tho
dude this is the government yet again fucking with the economy. they need to lay the fuck off
TheVercettiTV the DEF from Walmart is notorious for going bad and causing worse issues.
ulises G Set at the truck stop pump is about $2.50 A gallon it's the same crap they sell for $25-30 in the 2 gallon blue def jug . Trucking companies get def delivered by the 1000 gallon tote and pay .95 cents a gallon ... And some folks in high government positions got rich of the guise of environmentally safe products .
If you work at phantom fireworks daddy bought that truck
When you run out of DEF the Computer ECM limits the RPMs that engine can turn !
Which is not much above an idling speed.
6th gear it is then!
Had no idea about this def. I’ve seen it in stores, just thought it was a sort of Lucas fuel stabilizer type thing. Thanks
Your stupid learn to read
@@jasmeetsandhu2383 "You're" stupid. Learn to spell.
There will be a point where the truck tells you exactly how far you can drive until reduced power. It tells you when you are down to 200 miles remaining. I Know lol.
supperterofsanity 06 ford taurus tells u how much gas is left in the tank and how much gas is left in mileage like 200 miles until empty
Good for you. This video is about DEF though. I think most people know what happens when you run out of gas. Not many know what happens when you run out of DEF.
Def is wayyyy cheaper at the truck stops... like 2.50 a gal at the pump
I was thinking about that on my way up but I didnt end up stopping! Good thing this is the only time I gotta do it
Ryan Mayer yeah should have probably got away with just a gallon until you deleted. In those 5k miles how much def have you used?
Thanks ,your video helped me a lot.
Kudos on picking up the manual. That's what I got too.
SAVE THE STICKS!
I feel like if you wanted to accelerate fast, shifting would be a nightmare with a diesel but the gearing is probably okay. It's weird driving a diesel because rpm only goes up to 3k, I'm used to 6500 in my car and 13k on my motorcycle
11 minutes of video to tell us that you have to refill an empty tank ... by refilling it ...
derp
i dont understand epa logic "yeah lets create a new fluid that will require a whole nother refining process and package it in plastic and cardboard" im sure the processes to make and transport it make a whole lot more pollution than if it were not in the picture
See that’s a whole side that I didnt even think of! Amazing point!
Lane Blount I was just talking about this with a friend. Someone who is pretending to be an environment nut is making a ton of money off of this crap.
Good Point, i wonder has anyone ran the numbers.
In europe you also get it at gas stations
jürgen kriebs you can also in america
Whenever we go on road trips my dad and I both bring extra with us for this exact reason of running out
Hey great video. I love your truck ram+diesel+manuel=best truck(my opinion)
City boy driving a city boy truck, figures. Also props for trailer mirrors up with no trailer, keep that image rollin.
His excuse will be, " its for all the pussy i pull". maybe im wrong.
As a trucker who is city and lives in the country and a trucker I own a dodge dually big ass mud flap straight pipes out the bed behind the cab single cab extended bed and frame and no def and I have tow mirrors and a huge air damn and tons of chrome and lights and I dont tow trailers but its registered as 26001 pounds and i have my own trucker authority
We call that Moosin. Lol. I tow all the time and have never flipped mine up. I think it looks terrible
Very nice cummins
I own two Manual 7.3’s. The tranny and shifting does not limit you. I actually prefer the manuals because I can put it in Low gear and high rev when I’m in the mountains, climbing, or shift at a better time when I have large loads when towing. Also, you should clutch-less shift. You’ll save your clutch in the long run. You are having your foot too far in when shifting. If you have hydraulic clutch, like mine, the master cylinder and slave cylinder will not be your friend lol. Love your truck!
I've got two Daytonas for my sons. One is a similar Green, Sublime and the other is top banana yellow. Love that truck tho
Also what people don't realize is that modern diesels especially with the DEF systems are cleaner than modern direct injected gas engines, And it's a good thing too because diesel will always be reffered to as a "Dirty" fuel when in fact it's both fuel efficient and has the best combustion overall, here in europe all cars and big rigs has to comply to the new Euro 6 standard, and here big rigs has been running on DEF for years now
Please let me know when a diesel meets ULEV standards, which by the way, a gas engine does easily with nothing more than a catalytic converter.
They really are clean overall until modified. Donald I am not worried about ULEV standards at all. California imposes all kinds of regulations that most of us ignore. Either way though the newest tier 4 diesels when properly maintained are just as clean as gas cars. Testing has proven this. The idiots who delete everything are the dirty ones.
Diesels produce less CO and CO2, but even with all the after treatments, they still produce more PM and NOx than gas engines.
Donald Weber false. They do produce more NOx but far less than in the past. But newer diesels produce the same or less PM than gas cars including newer direct injection engines.
Donald Weber leave CZcams altogether donald
Props to you for zòoming in on that manual transmission 100 thousand times
jmh4ggg we need more people who understands this very simple concept but yet continues to slip youtubers minds
Gotta flex that manual
How to fix it !!!! Put the fluid in, maybe have some on hand . Glad you made it in time before you ran out .
Good info thanks! The truckers say that because DEF is corrosive it is cutting the big engines loves in at least half.
Delete Delete Delete
Edit: nevermind, I just saw your other video lol
What is this def nightmare? I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that in my 02 Duramax
def is technically not a problem until you get to 2010 for gm and ford... 2012 for dodge.
Def is in a problem you can pretty much go a full oil change without filling unless you pull heavy loads
its definatly more of a pain in the ass running def in tractors, you only last like 50 hours doing tillage before you have to refill
Morgan Bills you must be running a case JD can go about 4-5 loads of fuel before you have to refill Def but a 690 can only go about 3 tanks
ya lol the cases sure are power houses but don't expect your fuel bill to be cheap XD
2016 manual trans..
1.Low def indicator comes on
2.Speed limited to 5mph in 200 miles countdown begins (reminder chime every 50 miles)
3.once you've burned up your 200 miles the 5mph limit will only kick in upon engine restart, long idle, or refuel. You will not be forced from highway speeds down to 5mph. If you filled up your diesel tank when your 200 mile def range was still above 0 you could drive that entire tank of diesel off as long as there's no restart, long idle or refuel.
Good information!!!!!
That's why you delete it
Garrett Smith that's my work truck & DOT (road pirates) frown apon that. 01 24 valve five speed one ton dually for the personal rig🤠
Late answering your question about what happens if you run out of DEF. It happened to me once on our truck also with the G56 manual transmission. There was no throttle input allowed. So in an automatic transmission, that would mean it would go into drive and just idle, about 5mph. But for the manual, it idles in all the gears, and for us with 37" tires, that truck idles in 6th gear at around 39mph, plenty fast enough to drive around. Just lugs the gears, and there was no smoke coming out even though it said 0 miles left to refill DEF. Which probably means there was still some there. The check engine light came on for a DEF code but when we filled back the DEF we cleared the code and truck ran normally.
Put your mirrors down
Lol that's how you spot a city boy trying to look tough
Bereitschaft lol
Love ram but our mirrors suck. There is more visibility with them up. Chev and Ford mirrors are comparable to ram in the up position.
i dont' recommend using the box def. Get it from the fuel stations that have it next to the diesel.
I've also heard it's cheaper to get from pumps at truck stops.
its cheaper and fresher at the pump. next best is to buy the cheap stuff because it doesn't sit as long on the shelf. def goes bad.
Truck stops it's like 3 bucks a gal I fuel my semi at pilots
Man that box stuff does just fine in all the John Deeres we have the only one we don't have using that bullshit is the 8310
only gose bad of the shelf is in the sun and it's out of the box because if it's in the Sun it D crystallizes other than that is fine
I LOVE MY 7.3 more and more as the years go by!
i put out a 55 gallon drum every week of this stuff for a massive truck fleet. its crazy they go through that much of it.
Doesn't seem too complicated to me. You have a DEF gauge on the dash very similar to the fuel gauge. When it gets down to a certain level, fill it - if it was me, I'd probably fill it at any time it fell below half, and definitely at 1/4. I'd probably keep a box on hand in the garage as well. How long does DEF last though- like how many MPG's do you get with it?
Come on now. Stop making sense. LOL
The 5mph thing has been that way since 2007 even with just dpf they give you fair warning with the Amber warning lamp it's sort of like the idiot who ignores his low fuel light you can't fix stupid and i say that as respectfully as possible but it's true unfortunately i am a diesel mechanic and trucks get towed into our shop all the time for this and i work on tractor trailers so you're talking a minimum 400 dollar tow bill up to 1000 not to mention i charge 85 bucks an hour to diagnose it then fill it up with DEF or to hook the computer up and do a forced Regen because they ignored the light until it can't do a normal Regen because they let it clogged it slam up
Now I know what def fluid is. Thank you.
Been following for a better than a year. This video was just suggested. I thought it was a new upload 🤦♂️ I had so many questions 😂😂 it all made sense once I realized the video is 2 years old.
Since when are pickup box trailer so cool??? It is pretty common place around here.
he is a city boy. Hence the near base diesel with a lift and deletes that will probably never see a real load and die a early death due to its lack of work or he gets bored with it. I actually think pickup box trailers are a bit on the trashy side though as most are made with well beat pickup beds. But either way they are super common where I am as well.
If you stop at a truck stop the DEF is only 2.85 a gal a lot cheaper than 16.00
After the DEF light comes on you have about 100 miles before you will get a message counting down from 250 miles until the truck goes into cripple mode (5mph). It's not an emergency unless you ignore the messages for hundreds of miles. I have a 3500 that I have had down to 25 miles till cripple mode. I did that by choice because of all the guys that think DEF is some sort of big deal which it is not. When you are low pull into a truck stop and fill it up from the DEF pump - Easy peasy!!
Simple fix, SCR and EGR delete get a decent tune put on it and you’re done, and you’ll get better MPGs
I bet he sits on that shifter.
2K Tan ^Go look at one video on “2K Tan” channel, it makes his bitch fit so much funnier. This guy definitely sits on his shift knob. Fuckin anime keyboard warriors man, why are you even here?
He does, i seen it. I was driving down the highway and saw this ugly ass green turd truck with mirrors out pulling an imaginary trailer, as i passed it there he was sitting in the squat position with the shifter up his ass. His boyfriend was driving
Cheesey McCheese LMAO!
🤣
I’m a mechanic I don’t work on diesels though but I seeing a customer putting water in it and kept driving .kind of confused me 🤔
Ken Cook i went to college for diesel mechanics and am a certified diesel mechanic to bypass all that def crap yes people put water in there like it showed in his video the light stays on even if its at full and says fill up soon but to keep it to where you dont have to drive 5mph water can bypass it
Yes earlier it's fine to fill up water..from 2016 .. legislations are cahnged and they have introduced quality monitoring n vehicle detects water
429mahi fuck it send it anyways😂

Fun fact. Def is a bee killer. “The more you know” meme inserted here
dude like come on you know you gonna need more should got that sick deal
diesel EXHAUST fluid..... who came up with this idiotic idea next thing the wheel fluid.. are they gonna make blinker fluid a real thing? dam modern vehicles are junk.. ill stick to the good ol 70's to 00's
yeah I thought is was like muffler bearings. kinda sounds like BS
Thank you California, you ruined one bad as truck! Love the mansmission bro
I'm new to your channel man. What kind of truck do you have?
Preach it brother.
Shoulda Deleted day 1
I know 😂😂😂 but the time has come!
Ryan Mayer be carful me and my dad tried to unlock a 2016 Cummings and the dealer upgrade the computer to a 2018 so me and my dad had to download a stock 2014 tune to the truck to unlock it
The fuck did you just say? Next time try it in English and its Cummins you pillock, how the fuck do people still get that wrong?
Thankfully in the UK you would fail your nct.
rexb16 aww a Cummings fan is butt hurt if you were a mechanic u would know exactly what I’m talking about but not ur just a mall crawling truck owner that brings their truck to a dealer to get it worked on
Dont without def! You will burn out your muffler bearings!
Eh. Who needs muffler bearings? I mean there is nothing like a rod spinning in it lol
(I know what they do. It's just funny)
Jb Gmail bruh muffler bearing ain't real
Rip
Bro I did that one time. this man speaks the truth it rusted out my muffler bearings and I had to get new ones
Just put water in it.
Def is called ‘Ad Blue’ in the UK. I went without any for a few weeks in a 2017 BMW, no issues just an annoying warning light.
jeez man there alot of haters here im not even a diesel boy but in his recent videos that truck is sick!! good for him man to each there own
liberals...
If you "can't even drive it to the store to get more fluid" you shouldn't be driving any vehicle. Maintenance is job one.
I 100% agree, you are making regular maintenance sound like the end of the world. You make the $16 you had to spend on your big tricked out truck sound like such a big deal
Def is hardly maintenance, it’s just more shit to waste money on for emissions garbage. Without it your truck will still be perfectly fine
XxxInTheMiddlexxX what does it do before and after delete?
DEF is replaced at the oil change interval, 10K miles. It costs a few dollars to do this. If you can't afford that, and you want a diesel, take the bus. I'm sure somebody will say they never refilled the windshield washer fluid tank for the same reason, or put air in their tires, etc.
+ Paradoxical Nightmare - Hm, what does a tank of diesel cost, and how often? $50? What's that? Before taxes, that's 1 hour of work for me. How often do I buy DEF? About once a year, same as oil change. Jeebus, quit yer whinin'!
Just fill it up. How useless do you have to be to not pay attention to the gauge which tells you very clearly how much you have remaining!
Also, it is absolutely the case that despite the pollution caused during the production of the batteries, electric vehicles are cleaner than gas or diesel vehicles. This is especially true when exclusively considering the emissions harmful to human health that DEF is designed to avoid, since electric cars emit none of those emissions. Once you have deleted your truck please go stand by the tail pipe and breath in deeply for 30 seconds every time you drive it, if you’re going to negatively affect everyone else’s health you should enjoy that experience too.
cjeam wow.. how brainwashed and angry you are for no apparent reason. I will pray for you. 🙏
Hunter Atkinson Please don’t.
It irritates me when people do not acknowledge the negative health effects (regardless of the environmental ones) of diesel or vehicle exhaust. This guy is going to delete his emissions system because everyone else is doing it and he’s not enough of an adult to deal with the _exceptionally_ minor inconvenience of occasionally filling the tank up.
cjeam that doesn’t make him not an adult, he obviously did to make the video, as a step towards the actual delete video. Keep wishing harm an people and you may catch that luck yourself. Don’t need to be an asshole to be heard.
Hunter Atkinson I’m not saying he should gas himself with his exhaust, but if you make your emissions worse you should have to breathe that air too alongside everyone.
cjeam I mean you specifically said “get down by the exhaust pipe and take a deep breath for 30 seconds” can’t really deny that at this point.
Pickup box trailers are as common as dirt, surprised you never saw one before. I had one, it worked out pretty well, any good welder can make one up cheap.
It’s got to be pretty embarrassing with such a nice truck running out of DEF fluid. I drive a semi truck I’m just watching you drive this manual makes me want to switch to a manual LOL I’m on a quarter tank currently on the road and just wanted to see what would happen if I ran out.
He sounds like Chris from Family Guy.
James Bagwell hell yeah lol
Running out will cause a engine/torque derate from the programming from the PCM and ECM
hey! we still do not know what happens when u run out of the sheet.
It's the engine ecu that limits you. Due to the new EPA laws it limits you to 5mph so you can get to the DEF refill center.
Are you able to store DEF in the box in the vehicle In case if you're on the road in the middle of no where and run out, Is DEF flammable and or hazardous and dangerous to store in vehicle with different climates temperatures?
Your little rant about def and diesel I couldn’t agree more. Screw the emissions crap. Only reason I’m going with a 6.0 not a 6.7.
Take that dpf off and get a 5 inch straight pipe with a efi live tuner or a ezlink tuner.
Ezlynk tunes went on yesterday! Video being edited now! 😍😍😍 she drives like a dream
Nice
I’m a kid and have been getting into trucks for the past 2 years and my dad has a 4th gen Cummins but I so on CZcams YeH exact same truck rolling coal and I wondered why he couldn’t and I knew he put def in it but didn’t know what def did
Hey, Ryan, Leonard here. I've got a 2018 CrewCab 3500 Tradesman CTD G56 that I use primarily for driving around & going to work. Ignore the negativity. 🤔 Anyway, I thought the DEF gave lots of warning before running dry...?... I read the owner's manual & it does state you'll be shut down to 5mph if DEF runs out. I've got about 2,100 miles on mine, DEF still 3/4 full. Once it gets to 1/2, I'll top it off.🤔
Leonard Rice yep!! It lets you know!! 6,000 on mine when she ran out! Drove on it for about 65 miles
Leonard Rice also nice plum crazy in the AVI
Yup! Thx! PlumCrazy Hellcat my pride & joy! 2016. Traded a 2004 Viper for it. No regrets! My other Hellcat is a 2016 PitchBlack automatic Challenger Cat. Good, solid, cars.👍 Both bought new, so no abuse history.😃
Looking to pickup a hellcat next spring 👍🏼 ever since I drove one can’t get the idea out of my head
You can also use destilled water, it will not filter your exhaust gases but it will top the tank up and the warning light will go away...
I knew you were a city boy in the first 5 seconds. Why own a diesel and have no use for it?
he seems to live in the suburbs. Way different than city. Suburb kids think that stealing candy from a gas station makes them hard. You are right though, too good of a truck not to be used for great things.
Why does he, or anyone, need any other reason for owning a diesel other than it being what they like?......
Where I'm from Trinidad most small pick ups and SUVs have diesel.. plus it's way cheaper than gas
I have two diesels. One Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and one Class 8 truck. Works out better this way.
Needs it to haul around that much stupid....
i just bought a 6.7 cummins and the DEF tank is 3/4 full. should i wait till it runs out to delete it or just delete it and drain the tank?
When the exhaust light goes red. It de-rates you to a “idle speed” (5 mph). It is preset in the computer and doesn’t matter if its standard or automatic.
I'll stay with my pre DEF fluid trucks thank you very much.
I can tell what happens if you so happen to pour DEF in the diesel tank..
That's a $30k plus non warranty, customer pay job! Seen it happen 6 times at the dealership!
It probably limits You by RPM so it cuts down the acceleration to the engine at least that's how all the rest do it
I have a 2021 Silverado 2500. The low D.E.F. light came on once and has never come on again. I've been driving for a week without DEF and have had no problems yet! I'm scared but I'm going to see how long I can go!!
