    I have this issue for 1.5 years now, its dd15 wz 700k miles on it.

    Is this the only option to change the 1box, or still can try to fix it by changing some parts?

    Thanks again

    I kept trying to nurse it until I got stranded a couple of times and ended up biting the bullet and just replacing the whole thing. Maybe, maybe you just need a dozer which is cheaper. You know, the thing that sprays the d e f. But you would have to have somebody check to see if it's bad or not

    Hi mhyn, reading this thread n ur answers, u also seem to have more knowledge, please give some suggestions to fix beside putting new 1box.

    Thanks

    Hi, can someone help me? I have these 4 codes everytime i go long uphill wz more than 40k lbs;
    1. SPN 4364 FMI 18
    2. SPN 3364 FMI 2
    3. SPN 5246 FMI 15
    4. SPN 5246 FMI 16

    Changed 1box temp sensor, inlet n outlet nox sensors, def pump so far n still above codes coming...

    Codes will disappear after sometimes on flat road, if on hills would stay longer... and truck derates to 55mph.
    If i stop n do parked regen, check engine n flashing def ember light will go n engine light wud stay for a day or more.

    Thanks for ur reply

    You don't usually notice when a truck is doing a regen while you are driving down the highway. As far as the truck asking for a Regen, that only happens if you idle a whole lot and I don't do that.

    Hm, maybe you're right. I never gave it much thought.

    Do you have a friend or somebody that has the dddl software? It's very useful when diagnosing the one box to go for a decent a long drive with the laptop plugged in and monitoring the emission system.

    What year is your truck? Have you taken your truck to the dealer?

    Hi,

    Its 2016.
    Yes, took many times. Initially they said 1 of ur cylinder has 47% low pressure n that is causing issue in 1 box. I went to another official dealer in another city wz temp sensor issue in 1box, they put new 1 n i asked them to do cylinder compression check again. The same cylinder had 100% compression that time. I went to same dealer n told that. They had no answer :)
