Def injector change out ?
Looking like I might be needing to replace my def injector. Got the def fault message . 50 miles to reduced to 50 mpr . Truck say about 12 hrs and I drove my 43 miles home from work and the message didn’t display again . I topped off the def tank . Yesterday. Drove it today to work and about 5 miles from the house I got the def fault message . Plugged my code reader in . Got a P2049 . From what I have read it’s my injector.
Is it something easy to do ? Truck is a 2017 .

I don’t have a dpf guage
have a Def guage which stays showing full until it’s down to almost empty.....never does a gradual burn down.
im using the “premium” def that cost more in the hopes the super secret additional additive does some good.
I do know that as it gets to winter...if you are in a cold climate...you don’t want to keep the def tank full....as it freezes into snow pop it needs room to expand.

For the DEF, my strategy is that as soon as it gets below 1/2 on the gauge, I add a 2.5 gallon jug of DEF. By waiting until it goes below 1/2, I know that an entire 2.5 gallon jug will fit without spilling over.
