Check engine light came on and took it to the dealer and they say the heater sender in the DEF tank needs to be replaced.. $1040 plus tax. I picked up the truck without them fixing it. Has anyone fixed it themselves or paid for a diesel mechanic to fix it? What did you pay?

Mine had the same code. I looked into doing it myself and it didnt look fun. Have to drop the tank, pull the heater off the top and replace. Looked to take a few hours. Instead of doing that, which seems to be a common problem that occurs often, i decided to permanently fix the problem by deleting the truck.

I just had the same problem with my 2016 Chevy 2500hd High Country. Check engine light came on and speed reducer activated. It said 99 miles to 65 mph limit.
Fortunately it was covered by warranty.
They never did figure it out. They never did fixed it. They changed the DEF tank twice.
As long as it the temp is above freezing there was no problem.
I had them clear the code and went traded it for a RAM.

Kinda unrelated to the heater but my dodge 2500 Cummins def pump went out and at 82k miles. Warranty went out at 80k miles. Quoted me $2700 to replace pump and filter. They said they’d good faith warranty it when I had a fit but said it would be 6 weeks for the filter to come in. I asked them to replace the pump and regen the filter. They said nope and expected me to wait with no truck for 6 weeks. I paid the diagnostic. Picked up my truck and deleted all that crap. Best thing I could’ve done. Truck runs great and gets 18-21 mpg all the time depending on if I am in town or on highway. If I run 90+mph for an extended period of time. It gets over 21 mpg. The harder it runs the better.
