Hopefully the final update in my case: It took about a month and two new DEF pumps (I'm not sure if they actually installed the second new one or figured out the actual problem before its installation, but I know they ordered the second one when I had called them and asked if it was possible...

That definitely makes sense. Electrical gremlins do seem to be present in my truck (backup camera works fine but displays the "camera system unavailable" error, etc.). I would not be surprised if you wind up being correct in the end. This is a warranty repair, so I know nothing about the money...

That is a good question, but I do not have a definite answer. It was reported to me as new, but for a new part to immediately fail when they test drove it sounds very unusual. That would make more sense if it was refurbished.

I recently had a rather "interesting" commute between four dealerships in three days to limp my 2016 3500 single rear wheel short bed with the P20E8 error one thousand miles to a dealer where I needed to be anyway, which was only successful due to a few very helpful suggestions here. It seems...

I purchased the Autel MK808TS since I needed the TPMS function, but although it will regenerate the DPF it cannot flush the DEF system. At least I cannot find how to tell it to do so if it does.

I had that issue too, except no reimbursement. I went with the Synergy drag link, and the dealer said that if they "completed" the recall after this was installed they would have to remove it, reinstall the faulty factory parts, and then weld them. There is no alternate method of compliance, and...

I was at the dealership you had suggested shortly after they opened. It appears that crud was the case. They re-primed the DEF system and it seems to be working now. Hopefully no more issues for now. After I get back home where I have tools it sounds like I should clean the injector.

Any idea if the one hour of idling is cumulative, or how they define refueling? The vehicle is still under warranty, and I have no tools with me, so cutting wires is out. Not sure if I can remove the injector without tools. I have not crawled underneath yet to see.

My relatively new-to-me 2016 3500 (purchased in May, 32k miles) just popped a series of DEF OBD codes (reductant low flow, low pressure, etc.) during a drive between NJ and WI. I stopped at the rest area, scanned it, and even though the DEF tank was half-full I thought maybe topping it off would...
