There is a round metal washer type mounting bracket welded onto the lower pan for the DEF doser. They usually crack horizontally about an inch above this mounting bracket. Usually only 2 inches long . I only found the cracks when replacing DEF doser or changing out DPF filters. Didn’t seem to cause any issues. I’d unhook the batteries and weld it while stil on the truck .

Ok I know this is s sad n old post but it’s relevant to me lol !! I keep having derstes even after servicing dpf . Forced regen always good , gets hit as bd completed.  Gets out of derate etc . It’s fine for a day then once going up hill or if it’s hot and I’m in the throttle she derates again . I’ve taken the elbow pipe off from scr to decomp pan and there’s always build up . 
I’ve already replace doser with oem last week . Thought it was a bad gasket so I got a new one for friggn $60 . 
 

I found the crack that has been talked about here .. I will get it welded and get a new flex pipe just in case but have you experienced this issue because of the the dozer pipe crack ? Is it the reason for box conversion issues !? I mean it’s small but I know I only see it when it’s hot so it’s definitely expanding . I’ve just been chasing this down for a month and nobody knows anything at the dealer . I’ve found to just keep driving her even with derate and it all goes away but probably because it cools . Please help
