    DEF question

    Not dead set, just wanting to make sure the system is functioning properly by trying to witness it pump def. I used to have an 05 duramax, so this DEF stuff is foreign to me. The service def system message lead me to believe the def wasn't pumping and that would cause nox2 to read incorrectly...

    DEF question

    So let me rephrase the question again, could a bad def injector cause issues in the filter that would cause the 2nd O2 sensor to read incorrectly? Also does anyone know, truck running, line disconnected from injector, should the truck be pumping def fluid?

    DEF question

    So if the def isn't pumping/cleaning the filter then that couldn't be a cause for the #2 sensor to sense issue? My head says no def pumping (bad pump or injector) = bad O2 reading = P2298 code. I would like to verify that the pump and injector are functioning properly because I have yet to see a...

    DEF question

    Understood, but there is still a def injector in the exhaust and that is where I'm checking and what I'm messing with

    DEF question

    Code is a P2298, but it says service def system and I just want to make sure it's moving def fluid. It hasn't moved fluid on the gauge in the 800 miles I've driven

    DEF question

    I just want to test the def pump and rule that out as a culprit

    DEF question

    I just bought the truck (2015 67k miles) and yesterday the dreaded "service def system see dealer" message came up. No mileage until limp yet thankfully. I pulled the line off the injector and pulled the injector to see if there was any crystallization. Surprisingly there was none, so now I want...

    545rfe troubles

    No idea, it just says made in China on top. That's probably where they all come from though

    545rfe troubles

    So this is my finding so far. I'm really hoping it is the only issue, and that it didn't cause any harm to the rest of the transmission. Cheap Chinese filters!!!

    545rfe troubles

    It all depends on where you stand. I can't afford to give somebody $1000 to figure it out, and my OT at work still doesn't touch the $100/hr that a shop wants. Plus I enjoy wrenching on my own truck, and the satisfaction of knowing I fixed it when all is said and done. I admit I don't know much...

    545rfe troubles

    Anyone have an extra solenoid pack laying around that I could try? I'd hate to throw $200 at it and not have it fix the problem

    545rfe troubles

    Watching those videos and doing some research has lead me to believe the same thing. The only issue I have would be a future warranty for the transmission, but I guess I could always keep the solenoid and valve body around to throw back in if I have issues. Would ATS be the recommendation for a...

    545rfe troubles

    Truck is a 2011 5.7 hemi So my transmission seems to be going downhill fast. A year and a half ago I got a remanufactured transmission from Street Smart Transmissions and helped my mechanic install it. It has been ok thus far, but as of a couple weeks ago it started having issues. With his...
