After watching his L5P give him such a fit with the DEF tank heater going (whole new tank, not sold in parts), wiring issues, an injector go out, and a whole host of little problems; I've decided to buy an 03 3500 dodge for a grand with a rod knock, switch everything over to a P pump to simplify it, and spend however much to make that a reality, rather then having a 70,000 truck that will depreciate faster then I can blink.

Fairly new to your videos and enjoying them. Not a diesel mechanic and I’m learning things. Thanks for sharing your cross country adventure and mechanical problems. I’m becoming very thankful for my 03 LB7 one ton. It was a camper truck for a 5th wheel owner. When he wasn’t camping it was in the shed. Had 34,000 miles on it the day I bought it. New injectors @ 42,000 miles and it’s been problem free since.

I worked at a chevy dealership as a technician for the last 2 years, probably 95% or more of Duramaxs that came in for problems or check engine lights, were because of a component failing in the emissions sytsem, and the repair was rarely ever "Cheap". The government ruined Diesel trucks with their garbage emissions components. Let's not forget what the government did with something so simple like the gas can and how they ruined those. Now, everytime I use a government approved gas can, I end up spilling fuel on the ground, yet with old ones or modern "Non EPA approved" cans, I dont spill any fuel at all, and it pours out the fuel much faster than the garbage EPA ones.

Hey Josh I just wanna say thank you for everything you do for diesel community! Crazy story on my Duramax, I’ve driven my 06 LBZ since 2019 and that’s about when I became a fan of your channel, it’s currently got under 120k on it, it was bone stock and I built it to my liking, it’s not finished though, they never are.. 😂 I did sell it though to my brother in law briefly back in the beginning of 2022 for another truck that did not work out.. Recently he told me that he was going to buy another house and that he needed to sell it and he gave me the option to buy it back for a good deal, so I did. I feel like I took that beast of a truck for granted and I could not be happier to be back in it! It honestly feels just like the first day I bought it back in 2019. It truly was my dream diesel and a lot of other peoples as well! I appreciate you bringing awareness to the emissions junk on these newer diesel engines, and it all the more makes me proud to be an owner of the sickest generation of the Duramax engine!

Hey Truck Master/Earl/Josh, I feel there's a few things you guys can learn about DEF. DEF does NOT affect the plugged up Diesel Particulate Filter whatsoever. The diesel particulate filter uses a fuel injector that injects fuel directly into the filter that increases the exhaust gas temperature to essentially incinerate the captured soot. Basically the soot is burned at about 1100 degrees Fahrenheit and converts it to ash (which is sometimes noticeable in the form of white smoke coming from the exhaust during regen). That's how the soot is cleaned out of the DPF when everything is working well. The way the computer knows when to clean the filter (regen) is by comparing the readings of 2 pressure sensors. 1 pressure sensor is positioned before the DPF and the 2nd pressure sensor is positioned after the DPF. The computer compares the 2 readings and comes up with a differential pressure which is used to calculate the "grams of soot" that is trapped inside the DPF and when to regen as well. The melted sensor that you pointed out was merely the 2nd or "downstream" NOX sensor. The DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) is only used to reduce NOX emissions and is injected directly into a separate chamber of the exhaust system and is called the SCR (Selective catalytic reduction). Basically it's a catalytic converter positioned AFTER the diesel particulate filter. The 1st NOX sensor is placed just before or "upstream" of the SCR and is compared by the computer to check if the DEF and SCR are indeed reducing the NOX level being pushed out the tailpipe. This doesn't mean that the SCR cannot get plugged ALSO, but the DEF cannot cause the DPF to malfunction and not clean itself properly. Personally I firmly believe that the PULSAR tuning accessory is to blame. It plugs right into the original computer and changes the way it operates to get more power and torque. There's a bug in the programming or it's just not getting the proper signals to and from the emissions system. Hardware or software, I'd bet money that the PULSAR module and tuning caused ALL of the emissions system issues on the journey. Long time subscriber here and I truly enjoy your content! I was happy for the winner of the truck giveaway even if slightly, no... totally jealous! I hope you don't have any more issues with your Denali. It's a powerful beast and a dang good looking truck! Thanks for the exciting content! I was anxiously awaiting the outcome and praying for the best possible 🙏

Wendell that is a differential pressure sensor. one hose in front of dpf and one behind they detect pressure differences. and yes this is usually the culprit. it gets clogged then sends pcm the wrong information basically will let dpf get clogged without regents. most of the problems i see with dpf is idling. it doesn't get dpf hot enough to burn off the soot i highly recommend running the dog shit out of the new diesels.

To many regens have melted def sensor. Scangauge 3 does amazing job notifying you about dpf soot and when it’s in regen

For some reason, in your first video of this issue, I questioned your dpf. And I was told " nope, no way" and look here. It was your dpf

FYI When dealing with a restricted DPF and stuck on the side of the road, we just disconnect the flange at the down pipe or somewhere before the DPF. Leave it hanging enough for the engine to run and get it off the road. Plus when you have a plugged DPF need to know what caused the premature soot loading of the DPF. Looks like you figured it out!

Same shit happened to my Colorado diesel but 3 times. Mine was under warranty though. Last time to the dealer it sat for a month. I told them if they can’t fix it that they were buying it back.

You're absolutely right, when the government bailed out the auto manufacturers in '08, part of the settlement forced them to accept absurd levels of particulate emissions thus the evolution of DEF systems. They've done their best to deliver diesel powered vehicles that conform but ultimately, they're saddled with additional systems that make us all more dealer dependent and cost prohibitive on a long term basis. It's a real shame as once unleashed from these performance choaking regulations, modern diesel engines can make extraordinary power, last forever with great mileage and still be environmentally friendly.

Is any of the emissions issues partially due to the mods done to it for added power….style of driving?? I’ve know people with 2008-2015 Duramax’s with over 200K miles and never had any issues with any emissions equipment

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, like maybe the tune is pushing too much soot into the system

agree 100%. Was it the tune he did to it, melted wires, or a sensor that went bad? Will we ever know? Does his wife need 1000 hp to pick up groceries and the kids?

Probably a fault of something else. Even with intact tuning these emissions systems should last 100-200k

I think I was right. Faulty 9th injector for dpf cleaning. Could have happened on a stock truck imo

You should actually keep it stock, us guys can use the updates and tips along the way. Me personally I have a ford 6.0, but I have a lot of friends with duramax engines that love talking to people with tips here and there. Love your channel sir, and a great big thank you for your service to our great nation!!!!

There is only 1 tune I want for my 5th gen 6.7 cummins. +30 hp Software tune. Makes the truck drive better and it doesn't eat DEF as much. I don't need 200 HP. I already have 850 torque (Non-HO).

i am just thankful your home .... the last thing i knew you were stuck who knows where .... thank you for doing these videos

Questions (since I see a lot of performance mods on this truck listed in the channel description): 1) about how much more HP/TQ is this truck producing over stock? 2) what tune are you running (I assume a custom tune, and if so, by what shop)? 3) how much coal does this truck roll on hard acceleration? 4) How many miles on the truck when this happened (I assume the DPF was stock, never before cleaned)? Thanks!

I was assuming the 9th injector was bad and it wasn't able to burn hot enough to complete a regen. The def injector doesn't effect the dpf soot. It just lowers the nox ppm in the exhaust gas. But if a sensor is bad then I guess it could tell it to dump a bunch a def into the exhaust

I drive a transit bus for a living and they have Cummins motors. One bus will use 1 gallon of def for 34 gallons of fuel another will use 4 gallons def for the same amount of fuel. It's wierd never understood that. Never been in limp mode or had any issues still waiting.

I think ATS diesel has a weld on kit that allows you to cut the DPF apart and service like a semi and bolt it back in.

Glad you made it home safe

I just started watching you channel, nice work. I was wondering what wheel and tire combo you are running on that denali? It's so sick. Also, is the truck leveled or lifted?

EPA doesn't know what they're doing.

I'd love to do an executive order that in all 50 states that for an additional $500 for personal and an additional $1500 for commercial for registration fee's you can strip all of this emissions crap of your car, truck or SUV and not have regen of DEF or any of that BS like Diesel vehicles prior to 08 or whenever that crap was made mandatory. Those fees would remain in place for 10 years for personal and 15 for commercial from the model year so the first truck you can do for only parts and labor.

This is why I went with a gasser on my 2500 hd. Just not worth the headache for as much as I tow.

Every time I hear this emission nightmares,the more I Love mi 92 first gen Cummins it's been very reliable,I also own a 2002 ford f250 with a 7.3 bought it new now has 286,000 miles still no problems except CPS.

Thanks for documenting your trip and not stopping when your truck (emissions) decided to make life challenging. Your experience has given me other potential things to consider/rule out for why my ‘14 LML continues to “eat” DEF tank heaters which have left me stranded twice on long trips towing a trailer. Good thing I know how to change that on the side of the road/ auto parts store parking lot now. Haha. I have the same the edge monitor. So glad to have it for the alerts so I can do the same thing you did with searching for certain codes when while on the road. Looking forward to the next new video.

Keep up good work stay positive and keep good content coming great to have great friends and family

I had my truck 2022 Duramax Throw a code for clogged DPF in just a few thousand miles, Quote from the dealer was that GM had a "Required SW Update for the Regen System on the 2022s that needed to be completed" After Manual Regen and SW update, I have not had an issue with it since.

That’s a nice looking truck, you would think there be a warning light come on when that sensor went out that controlled that fluid

At what mileage on your rig did this happen? I have over 137k on my 2019 L5P, and never had an emissions related issue. Lift pump at 80k, fuel rail pressure sensor and connector at 96k and that is it.

This guy is running a tuner on his truck. All the additional power is made by adding a lot more fuel. More Fuel = More Soot. All into an exhaust system not designed for that. Seems common sense to me.

Deleted the whole system off mine. Best investment I ever made.

Me and my 03 are committed for life, no emissions crap. I'll just keep rebuilding it if I have to.

Good video 😀 I have 2021 l5p I never know when to really regenerate engine does not ideal up I only hear it sometimes or smell after I turn off truck do you think something wrong 🤔
