Truck is still under warranty, can't get it into the dealer for 2 weeks.
18k miles

EVIC read DEF system service required, or words to that effect.

Anyone know what my issue is?
My biggest concern is I have to drive it to work all next week, hoping it doesn't go into limp mode.

you won't have a choice but to have that serviced. Is it you that can't get to the dealer or the dealer who can't get to you?

I went over everyone's head to the service manager, and was seen as soon as I could get the truck there.
Unfortunately I had attempted to clear the code with a code reader from a auto parts store, so when they checked it there where no stored codes.
I find this totally baffling, I figured the code would be stored in the trucks memory, but apparently not.
The dealer re-cleared the system and the count down in the evic also went away.
I have continued to drive the truck all week, the code has not reactivated.
It must have been a intermittent issue, time will tell.

Well, at least you have a decent contact now if it comes back. Hopefully it was just a fluke thing.
