    Def misery with ethical dilemma

    I had a similar situation... Got the DEF issue, see dealer message, then the countdown to limp mode. Dealer booked for 1 1/2 months. Made appointment, took truck in in December. Countdown was at 15 miles when I got there. Gave them the key, they come back to me in 20 minutes saying no...

    A few observations from a Ford owner. MFG Engineers way of thinking.

    Adaptive cruise control... The one thing I don't like about it on my '19 is that it doesn't maintain a "soft" distance with the vehicle in front of the truck. If they slow down, my truck applies the brakes to maintain an "exact" distance to them. If someone merges in front of me, the truck...

    P203E Code, DEF Level Sensor Failed/Erratic

    Well, I had my dealer visit yesterday. The countdown continued. When I left home it was at 37 miles until the 5 mph derate. By the time I got to the dealer it was at about 15 miles. Was getting the messages the whole trip. Well, guess what? No message when they started the truck (!!). They took...

    P203E Code, DEF Level Sensor Failed/Erratic

    Thank you @GTyankee I have seen the 2021 TSB, but not the 2023 one. I suspect I have the issue outlined in that one, where the solution is: "This bulletin involves replacing the urea delivery module and grade vent valve and updating the Dosing Control Unit (DCU) software." It is possible...

    P203E Code, DEF Level Sensor Failed/Erratic

    Okay, I'm confused. I got the P203E code last week along with a CEL, "Reductant Level Sensor 1 Circuit Intermittent." Everything that I have read states that this code has three causes, 1) Over filling the DEF tank, 2) DEF frozen in the tank, and 3) DEF crystals obscuring the DEF level sensor...

    Successfully did a DPF regen on 2022 with 6.7 diesel. Wahoo!

    Thank you all for the clarification. My understanding is that when in regen, it injects fuel into the engine cylinders during the exhaust stroke, it does not inject into the exhaust system. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you!!

    Charging Electric Cars Are Wasting More Power Than You Think

    A little clarification. Level one and two EVSEs supply AC current to the car and the charger in the car converts that to DC to charge the battery. Level three EVSEs supply DC to directly charge the car battery, so the conversion loss would not be car dependent (for level three only).

    Successfully did a DPF regen on 2022 with 6.7 diesel. Wahoo!

    Please excuse my ignorance, relatively new to CTDs. What is the difference between active and passive regens? On my '19, it has gone through three or so regens in the year I have owned it (I mostly use it for towing my travel trailer). If watching the DPF screen, it tells me when it is doing...

    Led driving lights in place of tow hooks FINALLY!

    Yeah, I took the bezels out with the tow hooks. Sold the bezels with the tow hooks. I hope you can get the bezels to work with the lights, that would be great.

    Have you thought about installing GM style mirrors on your truck? I believe you can get aftermarket kits that bolt right up.

    Longhorn Dashboard Delamination

    Well, CarMax finally got our dash pad and we were able to take the truck in for the repair. It came out great! It took a while, but the final product is really nice. CarMax gets two thumbs up.

    What grease/lube for power running boards?

    Someone on a forum (not sure if it was this one) recommended silicon spray lubricant, they said that they spray some on the pivot points after every wash. For my new to me '19, I sprayed them with silicone the first time a week ago. We'll see how it works.

    Installed On-board Battery Maintainer

    I just finished the installation of a NOCO GENIUS2, 2A Smart Car Battery Charger on my truck. Since the truck sits for long periods, I thought it would be nice to be able to keep the batteries topped off. I previously installed a power inlet plug on the rear bumper that I use to power both an...

    Tesla Trucks rusting

    Yes, do not use stainless steel for anything structural in salt water. The alloy will become a battery due to dissimilar metals in an electrolyte (salt water) and cause corrosion, it's called crevice corrosion. Many areas use salt and other brines (electrolyte) on icy roads...

    SIM Card removal?

    Just curious, is your reason for doing this to disable the ability to be tracked? I have a similar question: How do I turn off the 5G? I've looked in the settings and cannot find it.

    More EV Wintertime Fun

    Me too. Have two vehicles, a RAM 2500 CTD, and a Nissan Leaf (the poor man's EV). The car has a nominal 200 mile range, depending on time of year. In western Washington the temperatures rarely get to the extremes, so an EV is useful year round. We pay on average $0.13 per kWh, so an EV is...

    More EV Wintertime Fun

    I too live in a rural community. No natural gas here either. I heat with wood, have for forty years now, when it gets cold just put more wood in the stove. I have no idea how much CO2 I have pumped into the environment, and frankly I don't care. The trees and everything green needs CO2. You...

    Led fog light

    I'm curious too. My 19 2500 has LED fog lights that I would like to replace with yellow. I believe they are H11 builds. The ones mentioned above look pretty good.

    Longhorn Dashboard Delamination

    We actually went to an auto upholstery shop before CarMax ordered our part. The shop would not touch it because of the airbag in the dash.
