    Taking my 20 gmc in next week to get D&T. It’s 130 miles away and I have a service emissions system code up. I have 40 miles left before max of 55mph. (Code came up on way to work & had to drive it there & back) does anyone know what happens after 55? Is it 45 mph for 75 miles? Or something...

    So, the dealership didn't fill the DEF tank all the way when I bought the truck, and on the truck DIC it shows as the two bars before full being grayed out, which is more than half (I can't remember the number of bars, sorry). Should I top off the DEF tank or just wait for it to need refilling...

    I have a 2016 2500 HD, got an alert a couple weeks ago about low def, put 2.5 gal in and on my way. Yesterday got an alert saying only 99 miles, thought wow that was fast, added another 2.5 gal. Drove 30 mi. No change, clock ticking. Thought maybe a sensor was bad, bought the attached sensor...
  4. L5P TSB (service bulletins, recalls, updates)
    So, I've had my 2018 in and out of the dealer for the last 2 months. First, it was DEF Heater 2 failing. Then it was DEF heater 1 failing. After that, it was the NOX sensor. Now, it's throwing another code P20B9 (reductant heater 1 control circuit). Which has been replaced TWICE now. I feel...

    Hey everyone, I recently got an econobox commuter and my 2018 L5p kinda sits all week now. It definitely gets driven on the weekends for long trips towing. My question is does anyone see any problems mostly with the def/ scr system sitting for a week or 2 at a time? I figured I’d put this in a...

    Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and to owning a 2018 l5p and therefore also new to using def. I bought 2 jugs of blue platinum (haven’t dumped them in yet) but red in a few spots that the regular blue and blue platinum is harmful to the newer diesels sensors. Any info on what everyone is...

    The other day, my truck threw a code for a bad NOx sensor #1. Triggered the "Service Exhaust Fluid System..." Countdown to limp mode warning on the dash as well. Cleared the codes, but the one for the sensor came right back immediately. Typical.... Ended up replacing the sensor for a nice...

    I have a new 2021 AT4 Duramax. I filled the DEF fluid for the first time (it has about 2300 miles on it) When I started it to leave the station, the check engine light was on. I drove it home (6 miles) and it didn't go off. Could this be related to filling the DEF tank. I guess it's possible...

    Hey everyone new and fresh to this forum and to diesels in general. Apologies if this is in the wrong category. I have a 2013 Chevy Express 3500 Ext. 6.6L LGH Duramax of course with all that lovely DEF system joys. Had a crap load of codes that came shortly after i bought it recently and was...

    Hi guys, this is my first post. My DEF heater went out not long after i got my truck; got lucky, beat the warranty by less than 2k miles. 2 years later (October 2020), goes out again-'Service DEF System', code P20C3. '99 miles until 65 mph' countdown begins. Get it fixed at a local shop-1 week...

    My 2013 3500HD has the dreaded "Exhaust Fluid Quality Poor" message and the DEF light. Since I already had it, I replaced the downstream NOX sensor. I replaced the upstream NOX sensor a year ago. I cleared the P20EE and P2BAD codes and drove the truck about 20 miles to make sure it's up to...

    Been pretty go by the rules, just drive my Duramax. I recently took my truck to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, and jumped a big rock and busted my DEF tank, and all the fluid leaked out. I've found a mechanic here that at least understands what I am talking about, but afraid to here his timeline to...

    Needing some insight on 2013 lml bone stock not deleted. Here's what i have going on: When idling for a while (hooking up camper) or towing camper at 9,000lbs for roughly hour and a half in tow mode exhaust brake "coolant level low add coolant" comes on. Level seems right at about sensor level...

    My 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Duramax High Country makes a loud clicking noise 95% of the time I’m at idle or a slow roll. It’s loud, annoying, and makes my beautiful new truck sound like a heap of trash. Loud reflecting clicking at drive through. Pull up to friends and roll window down to say...

    I recently bought a 2011 GMC 2500 Duramax. I've worked at Lou's Custom Exhaust for the last eight years and I've done a million diesel systems. However, I've never seen anything like the exhaust on my truck because it has the diesel exhaust fluid injector. I'm stumped on where to start, not...
