    DEF in fuel

    Hi group. I committed the cardinal sin of putting just 0.9 gallons of DEF in my fuel tank. Long story short, $18K later, I’ve got new injectors, new high pressure pump etc and engine runs great. This is in my 2014 DX3 with the Cummins 8.9 ISL. I forgot to ask mechanic to drain fuel line to the...

    2008 International IC re300 DEF system

    Hello all, me and my boyfriend just bought a bus for cheap. 42ft 84 passenger IC R300 manufactured in 08/2007 but branded as a 2008 per usual. We're aware of the whole ordeal with Maxxforces, and we assumed it was a Maxxforce, given the, albeit peeled off, badge on the side. However it has NO...

    Hi All! New member with shuttle bus

    Hi Everyone - I just joined. I have a 2012 Chevy Duramax shuttle bus. So not exactly a skoolie but in the ballpark? It is having DEF issues and is 33 miles away from being put into limp mode. I am in San Diego and you'd think I could find a shop to work on it. But no. At 26' long it is too big...

    P218F engine code 2019 Cummins

    I have a 2019 Ram Cummins 3500 SRW with about 75k miles. I've had it in the shop three times for engine code P218F (has to do with flow of DEF). The first time they cleaned the injector. It coded again in less than 25 miles. The second time I took it in for the P218F code they flashed the truck...

    2008 Jayco Seneca 36MS

    Does my rv use DEF? If so how it is mixed? Do you check it like you do oil or am I suppose to get it at the pump. I’ve had it for 12 years and driven over 75000 miles and to my knowledge never added it. My service guy doesn’t think it uses DEF.

    First yellow check engine on M2. DEF pump running after shutoff

    Hey all, just gathering some thoughts and stacking logic together. With full blown rookie freightliner status noted, when I started the Detroit yesterday I had smelled a new odor but upon checks noticed nothing out of place with fluids, belts, hoses all the visuals. Once we got moving the odor...

    DEF Header coolant lines reversed and Code 3363

    It happened to me today. After throwing a 3363 DEF code, my Freightliner dealer found that the coolant lines to the DEF unit were hooked up in reverse. Yikes! Fixed quickly and for free, thankfully. I remembered seeing a post or two here earlier but figured it had to be rare. On a side note, if...

    How much more expensive are 2007 and newer buses to own and maintain?

    Hi, noob here. I’ve been lurking and researching and understand that the general recommendation is to look for 2006 and earlier buses, due to the emissions requirements (DPF/DEF fluid) from 2007 on. Since we are also looking for one in the best condition with lowest miles, I’m wondering how much...

    Seneca 2018.5 DEF tank error codes

    Good Day All, Sitting in Wyoming wondering if I should make my 2nd stop on this trip to Freightliner. Question really is a fundamental one of whether I can take my 2018.5 37K Seneca to either Cummins or Freightliner for warranty work? Two days ago Malfunction light comes on Scan gauge shows ID...

    How many of you have Diesel trucks that have been deleted?

    How many of you have removed your EGR, DEF, and DPF on your diesel trucks? How many miles on the truck before doing it? I did mine a few month ago right at 150,000 miles because it was due for another EGR cleaning and I was getting high exhaust temps due to a failing DPF. I really wanted to...
