BROKER??? Not THE BROKER from years ago I hope lol!!
The DEF fluid does freeze and thaw. It will not inject until if liquifies but this is the first I've heard of this problem so far. I'm sure others with more experience will chime in to help. Good luck!

I have heard the Fords and Chevys are having issues with the Exhaust fluid freezeing. If it was me I guess I would buy an eletric blanket and wrap it, but I don't think they make a 12v elect blanket
Actually they do, I had one that used a cig lighter but never even tried it and have no idea where that thing went. Probably not a bad idea... sucks that this is happening though
i saw a while back on DP a guys DEF tank looked like it had battery corrosion all over it (not what it was, just looked like that colifour affect). not sure how that turned out
When it turns into a solid it looks like that. When I got my truck home from the dealer it had that stuff all around the fill area, on the motor, etc. Water took it off easily though.

Dealer is telling us that we arent alone and there is no fix yet .
None of our 11 Fords have frozen yet .
I'd put one of those oil pan heaters on it if necessary the stick on ones.
Good for Ford nice to see they did one thing right. :spit:
I thought you never shut these truck off? You probably don't shut the Fords off for fear they wont restart.

Why thank you! :hifinger:
I could have told you push the Onstar button and see what they recommend. Or call 24 HR roadside assistance.
Or better yet leave it in your dealers lot till he fixes it. I mean really cupcake if GM can't help you all we're gonna do is throw ideas at you like I did. If it's freezing up on you going down the road ,something you omitted, then put a generator in the back of the bed ,light it up and plug the extension cord off the oil pan heater (my suggestion) into it until GM figures it out.
Otherwise go jump off a bridge dumb dumb! :hello:

By your responses I'd say you havent even looked at one and dont know what you are yappin' about . We stopped running 01's in 02 .:rofl:
I'd say this is by far the worst situation we have had with any new Duramax yet . I appreciate you keen attitude though .
See now you know why I said you can't help him.
He's vague about his problem leaves out ALL the information and THEN when you give him the PROPER possible fix he tells you he already did it.
Instead of TELLING everyone whats going on, the corrective approaches or steps he's taken ALREADY he screws you around being a Joker. He's a dumb dumb. :rofl:
It's like he's testing you.Attention whore must not be getting his fix elsewhere.
He's a Ford guy at heart.
