DEF question?

[gr8white]

At 800 miles the warning came on and was counting down normally.Then it took a sudden drop to 249 miles to empty and now it's back up to around 300.Anyone else have this happen.

I don't really have an answer to your question but about how much does yours use def wise, mine has 5000 miles and took 4 gal. Does that sound right?

An idea though, maybe the def gauge is kinda like the instant mpg where it changes depending on how you drive?

I usually get around 5000 miles before the warning comes on.The last couple of months I have been hauling some heavy loads though and the warning came on sooner this time.

[travisH3]

Yeah, our f450 does all the towing too so it prolly uses more than normal. Well free bump for ya!

Inever let mine get low enough to start the 800 mile count. I periodically check it and when it drops below 1/2 full, I add a 2.5 gals jug.

I put 5 gallon of DEF in this evening and it could have held a little more.Mileage was back down to about 250 miles to empty.

Go thru a few key cycles and drive the truck a few miles. If the message does not reset, get the software checked at your dealer.

Since you added 5 gallons, you were almost empty and should have gotten the message but it was weird how the countdown went?? I hope it resets itself for you.

It reset without any problems.
