Thank you so much for this information. We had an issue this summer with a parking lot & 2 boulders. Bent our front axle & lost 3 tires in between Trinidad Rocky Ford & finally winding up in Pueblo. No one had tires for the camper. We made it to Pueblo on a rim Friday night at 6. Pulling a 38ft 5th wheel & stopping in the first parking lot with ample room. Nothing open. But Monday morning found tires, and a wonderful small RV service just off 25 to the west & south. Been in business over 25yrs in AZ & Colorado. Got a rim & tire on & 7 miles down 25 spending the night in their parking lot waiting for new axle which came out of Denver Tuesday. They had fixed & back on the road by 2 o’clock. I did notify the police of our situation also the commercial business we were parked behind. Both were wonderful allowing us to stay. The repair was more then reasonable, great people.

[@TilFurtherNotice]

We were the victim of Britt’s Diesel Repair in Bishop, Ca. three years ago. That put a total stop to our wintering in Arizona. 75 days in the shop with no repairs completed, they didn’t know what they were doing. We finally hauled the pu home to find out they had destroyed the engine. No more traveling for this old couple, we’ll just stay close to home and enjoy ourselves with what we are familiar with.

1. DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst): First Location: Closest to the engine, immediately after the turbocharger in the exhaust stream. Function: Converts carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons (HC) into carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) through oxidation. Reduces some particulate matter (soot) and prepares the exhaust for downstream components. Key Role: Pre-treatment of exhaust gases. 2. DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): Second Location: Downstream from the DOC. Function: Captures and stores particulate matter (soot) from the exhaust stream. Periodically undergoes regeneration to burn off accumulated soot, converting it to ash. Key Role: Physical filtration of soot particles to reduce visible black smoke. 3. SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction): Third Location: Downstream from the DPF. Function: Reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) by injecting Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) (a urea-water solution) into the exhaust. A chemical reaction converts NOx into nitrogen (N₂) and water (H₂O). Key Role: Reduces NOx emissions to meet stringent regulations.

[@TilFurtherNotice]

We got home last week from a short trip and tried to put the landing legs down to get fifth wheel off truck. Leading leg would not go down! It’s still hooked to truck while we are waiting for new legs. Thank God this happened in our driveway or don’t know what we would have done.

Might look into Rislone 3 products: Fuel side, DPF Cleaner… cleans DPF & Catalyst; this has corrected many with codes & limp mode. On the DEF side, DEF Cleaner… and normal use DEF treatment. Use both cleaners every 5000-10000, and DEF Treatment each fill of DEF.

Silly question new to your channel, but did you clean try cleaning your def regeneration? I don’t own a diesel truck but I doing my research before I buy one. In the near future buying a heavy fifth wheel and will need one. Not traveling all the time but living in Florida half the year and Maine the other half.

[@TilFurtherNotice]

Not a silly question. The truck does automatic (passive) regenerations periodically. You can also perform static regenerations to manually try to burn off the soot. Neither one was working because over time the soot builds up too much for the regenerations to work. We are learning a lot from our commenters who know more than we do.

A Boeing 747 carries 63,636 gallons of highly refined kerosene Jet A which it burns without any emission control system such as mandated on All civilian vehicles (military vehicles such as an Olive Drab painted Airforce Ford Factory F450 also have no emission controls).

I get hit hard on our truck last month. Has to replace all 4 tires, had break work dine and a complete tune up. $3400. That's a lot when you're on a fixed social security. Luckily got a 1 year no interest to pay it off. That's still way over our monthly budget. I need to cut back on KOAs and check out state parks. We budget $1600 a month for campgrounds. Found a really nice place near family in Texas for $330 a month for the next 3 months. That should help.

[@ReflectedMiles]

So many issues with Ford, from engines to transmissions to a turbo self-disassembly on a friend's nearly-new truck while towing up into terrain, that I am done with them. I would only consider any newer diesel truck if it has an engine rebuilt correctly by Dave's in Utah--better than factory--and their maintenance recommendations have been followed to the letter.

[@TilFurtherNotice]

We also blew the pipes off our turbo and rebuilt the right way. Other than that and the dpf issues it has been a great truck..knock on wood. Thanks for reaching out

[@daveprather9960]

Dodge and GM have their issues as well.

[@ReflectedMiles]

@ Yes, but less catastrophic most of the time in my experience, except for some of the Dodge transmission issues as well. I really regret giving up my ‘04 GMC Duramax / Allison 3500. Easily the most reliable truck I ever had, and could have just been rebuilt multiple times if needed rather than paying far more for newer, supposedly improved trucks that just never were in the longer run. The CP4 pump debacle is all but a printed announcement that the industry needs better engineering work and parts that genuinely conform with that engineering.

Thanks for reaching out and for the sound advice . The dpf cleaning message on the dash does appear regularly but that may be a better way to monitor injections.

Scott, how is your RA. Something I found after lots of reading on government site that has testing information is that sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is really good for inflammation. Also found that if your body acid level is high, it causes autoimmune diseases. Sodium bicarbonate taken in water can reduce acid. I had seen claims on KZbin about it, but wanted a source that was more trustworthy. So, I took half tsp of baking soda in a swallow of water for a couple weeks every morning. I felt noticeably better. I stopped until I could discuss with RA doctor. So, month and half ago, we had the conversation, and of course Dr’s can’t tell you to do it. Not a big pharma drug. But I was told, you know I can’t control what you do after you leave here. So, 1/2 tsp every morning for 6 weeks now. I reduced methotrexate from 7 per week to 1 one week and 2 the next. Probably totally stop at next Dr. appointment. I had wellness visit with another Dr. He agreed to have blood tests run. I asked for RF test. So far, no change. I’m thinking that might take a long haul. But he also did a C-Reactive Protein test, which is used to tell how much inflammation you are having. In 2023 while on methotrexate, that test was at the “high” mark value of being

I thought that was a great set up the Ellison automatic with 71,000 miles on the truck, the transmission failed me. I do most of my maintenance work on this truck routine fluid changes I actually changed the fluid in the transmission sooner than I should have but it’s still failed me. I do not want a new truck because of the emissions that are on the trucks nowadays plus I don’t want to have a huge payment for a new truck so I decided to spend the $7000 for a new transmission the truck never gets ran in the winter. I get so many compliments when I go into campgrounds that they can’t get over how great shape this trucks in so I will keep putting Band-Aids on my truck. Keep up the hard work guys we love your videos, I’d like to see you guys sometime if you come up this way in the summer I got two more years to work then I’m retiring.

I love diesel’s and have always subscribed to one rule, give it an Italian tune up also know as drive it like you stole it. Diesel can’t be babied, run then hot and hard at times.

[@TilFurtherNotice]

Thanks for your input! I’m probably a bit light on the acceleration and we also idle alot to keep air conditioner going when parked in the Florida heat.

[@norm4907]

@ Idling is your killer. Piston wash, do you not have a high idle feature. Guess you have to read the book. Sorry that one was to easy 🥹

[@TEC_Stuff]

The company Hot Shot’s Secret makes a number of excellent Diesel treatment products. Their “EDT - Every Day Treatment” is added to each tankful. It works excellent in our family’s Mercedes Sprinter. They make Diesel Extreme as a concentrated treatment for every so often deeper cleaning. These treatments clean, lubricate diesel injectors, remove water, and increase diesel cetane rating. Also, DEF has an expiration date, always use fresh, high quality DEF fluid in diesels that require it. One last observation, please tell me you weren’t “lane squatting” in the fast lanes while towing your camper. It seemed like most of the traffic was passing you in the slow lanes. Thanks. Best of luck with your travels.

I loved my 2016 F250 diesel until the problems with the exhaust system started. Can’t tell you how many times it had me on the side of the road. Now I drive a gasser. No more diesel.

Yep, we love our truck but understand you switching!

How many times prior has the truck entered the Regen mode to burn up that suet? I have a RAM with 82K and only remember it doing it twice.

[@TilFurtherNotice]

Thanks for your question. Don’t know first 50k miles because we bought used. Since then one computer initiated active regen and one manual regen at approximately 110k miles.

$12,000 !?!?!?! 😳 Should be a federal law that if a mechanic is going to convey information to you like that, they should be required to first ask you, "Are you on any type of heart medication?" I hated it when the semi tractors I used to drive had diesel engines needing DEF. Glad Scott got a second money-savings opinion on the fix for the truck. I'm working on a S'more casserole. On my fourth attempt. If I perfect it, I'll post the recipe.

When gov vehicles don't require them but ours do says a lot, they don't care about pollutants and neither does industry, ships or other country's for that matter. Delete them! I'm sorry our little trucks aren't making the impact they claim it's nothing more than a money grab so they can buy and sell clean air credits. Glad you got it fixed cheaper though always a good thing.

[@TilFurtherNotice]

I had no idea about the gov vehicles not having them 😮. It’s definitely a pain. Thanks for watching!!

Never delete any system ,if you do and if a shop finds out they will refuse to work on your vehicle and can turn you in EPA.

It might also make it harder to sell. Thx for watching

never ever try to pull with a Ford ! Cummins ram is the only way to go

[@TilFurtherNotice]

Ours has been great at towing but I understand everyone has an opinion on trucks. We bought ours used and because it was in budget 😉

[@billmM3605]

That's funny. Google Ram Cummins catastrophic engine failures and DEF system failures. Hint: They can all have issues and nowadays none of them are cheap. This is why I still drive my 2000 7.3 with 413,000 miles on it. I've replaced the transmission twice at roughly 4000.00 each time. Other than regular maintenance no other major expenses.

Buy a Ford extended warranty from Flood Ford. Best price!

Flood doesn’t seem like a very good store name, especially in Florida 😆
