This involves verifying excessive diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) deposits in the decomposition tube collected. If present, it is necessary to replace the catalytic converter shield with a “clam shell” shield that features a metal exterior.

The condition may be caused by insufficient heat retention in the exhaust at or near the DEF doser.

When diagnosing and repairing 2011 trucks with a blanket type catalytic converter shield, replace the shield with P/N 68086554AB after completing diagnostics and repairing any concerns.
