ATS Diesel Clean Diesel Discussion: Episode 2 - DPF & After-Treatment

[@antdavis3843]

You've just explained to me why I need to put more money into my 7.3 PowerStroke instead of buying a new truck!

[@cobrasvt347]

Thank God I don't have emissions bullshit where I live. When I bought my new truck this whole restrictive ass horsepower robbing money pit was the first thing to go. Now as it's intended use, t's now a permanent anchor behind my shop.

[@jackjill521]

This is an excellent video for all to watch. Now I even more understand why all these filters should be removed from a diesel system. One day the King's ransom will come to an end. I commend you for taking this issue head on in order to make our diesels better in the future!!!

[@ATSDieselPerformance]

Thanks Jack! We hear you but there are plenty of reasons to leave them on. For example our 17’ Ford 6.7L putting down 700rwhp yesterday with all emissions intact, and 60k miles without an issue. We appreciate your feedback!

Thank you so much for articulating in great detail. My 2016 3500 Ram is 100% clogged. I need to clean my dpf.

[@CrownRoyal144]

Thank god we have 2 companies That Have put in the Time and Effort So we can do this Right. Thank you! ATS&Banks.

[@jlaustill]

Thank you for making these! I drive a 2002 and someday it may be forced on me to add this shit, so it is good to at least semi understand it. I also enjoy seeing aftermarket upgrades coming out, gives me hope for the future. I love the environment, and I have zero issues making my truck cleaner. But the rules need to be fair and the products need to exist to do it...

[@extremerc76]

I don’t have a problem with the emissions system, I have a problem with the unrealistic count down mandated by the epa. If something goes wrong, I will fix it, that being said it may not be with in 150 miles! I need to get home first! Unfortunately the countdown left me stranded and I had to delete the entire system. Shame on the EPA for the countdown till 5mph!

[@lordbaltimore1450]

I appreciate your well explained this exhaust system, your video is the. "BEST" I have watched, solid pro. Thank You very much.

[@court2379]

Well done, thank you. So it appears that the biggest problem in the system is the DPF, and that is the least polluting portion of the system. I have wondered about just having cartridges you pull out, dump the spot in the trash and put back in.

[@d0uble_O]

Big semi trucks have those.. but they simply remove um and pressure clean um! We need this for small trucks!

[@wtbman]

@@d0uble_Oyes yes yes! Putting clamps on it as demonstrated is the next best thing.

[@truckerman9836]

[@Italianborn]

If there’s so many engineering and it works like charm why aren’t the army , airlines and navi equipped with it ? Why EPA wants just us to obey with this ? And if we have to have it and new vehicles comes with it why dealership won’t warranty it passed couple miles ?

[@thim8009]

You did a hell of a job explaining, but makes me want to buy an 06 ram.

[@andymike6575]

Right? Our trucks would be $15,000 cheaper from the dealership if it weren’t for all this extra mandated emissions equipment

[@charlieg333]

I can't find those weld in flanges for servicing the dpf filter anywhere online or on your sight. Im interested in them, where can I find them?!

[@richardblanchard2743]

Great video. I have a 2013 Ram diesel with only 50k miles on it. At around 30k it started giving me messages to have the DEF system serviced. After a while the messages go away and come back regularly. On my vacation a warning came on that in 300 miles the 15mph cripple will happen. I drove on and after a few of these messages they stopped and I continued on my 2500 mile vacation trip. I want to delete my truck and reprogram the computer. However after watching your video it seems that instead of removing and replacing the exhaust system, I could just drill out the DPF. What do you think?

[@wtbman]

Nope. ECU will notice the lack of back pressure at the DPF and cripple you. You could stealth delete by drilling it out and changing tuning.

[@jimm2442]

Excellent video! Thank you!

[@reefkeep2]

When do you think this mod to the DPF welding the flanges, so one can remove the DPF for cleaning, I'm very interested in this?

[@vasiavisilievic1873]

You guys are real experts. Impressive knowledge. But i have an advice for you. Make the titles for your videos more understandable, just write "DPF and after-treatment explained" or something simple like that. You'll get at least 10 times more views.

[@patriotone755]

Great video! Thanks for the education.

[@Towandflow]

Awesome Instructor 🫡

[@tonyesposito3322]

[@BrendanMX]

Cool ideas for sure, but a large portion of us that buy diesels like to hear them and smell that good smell in the morning too. I honestly don’t find diesels nearly as cool when they drive and sound like an electric car

[@BillT502]

Great way to explain it!!! Thanks!! I would much rather have a truck that doesn't smoke.

[@lindseyangell986]

Reference my questions Lindsey Angell…I am looking at purchasing a Ford F250 King Ranch, 6.7 L High Output…

[@MST8KS]

Is there anyway to upgrade the dpf and aftertreatment system (like make it bigger, more flow filter) or no, or are y'all working on that?

[@davidb1089]

Bullydog dpf

[@wetsaltypickle]

my DPF is starting too loosen up. It might fall off here soon lol I have had the same thought about the serviceability of the DPF. I could never understand why they didnt make it removable so it could be cleaned and serviced.

[@marlonhernandez706]

To charge more money, I’m planning on seeing a muffler shop to see if they can weld the flanges.

[@d0uble_O]

so the dealers and ford itself make more monay!! 💰

[@chrischapman276]

With the filter... What causes a malfunction? Is there anything I could do to fix it? I've got my 2014 Ram 3500hd cummins the wife filled with gasoline. I got everything cleaned out and running great but now getting the alert the filter is 100% filled. Another alert now is going in limp mode in a few miles. Need to take to dealer for DEF repair. With the gasoline going through crap and now getting these alerts, am I pretty well screwed and about to be paying up close to the 10,000$ to repair this truck?

[@chrischapman7452]

I've cut open a few dpfs and parts were melted. They can also be damaged.

[@caseyriggs2633]

I have a clogged dpf on a 2008 6.7 Cummins, what’s you’re thoughts on using cataclean vs taking it off and cleaning the dpf?

[@lowlyconstructionworker2247]

I have same truck same problem. What did you end up doing with yours

[@lowlyconstructionworker2247]

Shop said they can replace it for around 9,000 dollars or delete it for 2300. I wanna just clean it if that's possible

[@caseyriggs2633]

Last summer I was towing my boat and looked in the passenger mirror and there was slight black smoke coming out the back I was slowly loosing boost. I pulled off the road had my pops come grab the boat, after an hour with the truck sitting there I fired it back up and it was still the same I took off and drove the truck back to his place about 10 miles away I was rolling coal on a stock truck. I had an injector that was stuck open that’s why I was rolling coal not a bad turbo. I had gotten the exhaust manifold hot and it warped. I took off the exhaust system as well it wasn’t too bad to do and cleaned it with a vacuum and air compressor and then a dpf liquid cleaner. Bad turbo = white smoke, lack of boost = warped exhaust manifold, you may have a crack in the honey comb in your dpf system. What’s your truck acting like? The mechanic charged me $1,300 to get the exhaust manifold redone with new gaskets.

[@Luckey308]

I have 2008 F 350 6.4 can you do that to a particular for filter for this truck

[@joshquintana6227]

This is what happens when the EPA has a company by the balls😂

If you want to see what that would look like take a look at the companies under EPA enforcement. We are growing just fine selling legal products.

keep talking, makes the value of my early 07 ram go higher. :)

[@elnaracosta8956]

thank yoy soo much the video. i learned s lot.

[@ckonthebay1950]

Is serviceable DPF available yet for the 6.7 Powerstroke?

[@alyjam1]

I have the same question. Was this question ever answered?

[@Whitegold_6.7]

What is able to be done for the 07.5 cummins without the scr? All I see stuff for is the 13+...Also, can a dual fueler, compound set up be tuned the same way on the old 6.7 as is done on the new 6.7 and not increase nox and soot loading? Not looking for high, high horsepower, around 500 or so is the goal.

[@FuDEA1]

, so I did the force regeneration and I’m still getting a code that the dpf is full. On the scan tool it says the dpf percentage is 512%. Could this be a faulty sensor or is it really full

[@berryreading4809]

I appreciate the impressive engineering here, but I'd still rather see a $500 annual "vehicle enthusiast carbon permit" because 200,000 people burning diesel in an open pit instead of driving thier heavily tuned trucks will still be less polluting than the Amazon and Walmart shopping an equivalent number of people do annually, buying everything from heavy pollutant countries is apparently fine with the EPA. All the unrestricted diesel enthusiasts in the world combined would still not add up to .01% of what emissions seaborne transport just to the USA creates annually, not even including the actual production of the goods on those ships🤦‍♂️

[@lindseyangell986]

Does ATS have service centers to go to…using two turbos, one regular and one larger one…to legally and efficiently increase engine longivity…ARB Head bolts…etc?

[@HyperXism]

What if you just put a hole in the DPF so it never truly builds up?

[@robf1608]

Knock the guts out, like an old cat.

[@mindwreckRC]

youd still have to tune it out . Modern trucks have pressure sensors looking for that backpressure difference caused by the filter.

[@billmonroe8826]

Ever since they started this diesel particulate filter, the mileage has gone to shit. This is all a bunch of crap that costs the American consumer bunches!

[@danieldewilson]

Now that you have me onboard to forgoing a delete, I just have to figure out how Ill get my hands on your allison trans before I do anything or this 68rfe will bust as soon as I add any HP dammit

[@Icutmetal]

Ok

[@marlonhernandez706]

Can your shop work on making flanges for the diesel trucks?

[@brendaehrhard9038]

Ok so is the serviceable DPF available for 2019 6.7 powerstoke ? And what's the cost ?

[@MCMUSICH]

From everything I have been around the dpf is 1st then the scr where there def fluud is injected as I do not think you can add def fluid to a dpf. The dpf gets fuel to clean the dpf then goes to scr(secondary catalyst reduction)

[@MechanicTechnicianRepair]

Excellent explication. Nice video

[@RC-hm9vg]

Awesome job!!!!! Great explanation!!

[@jimyounger9490]

So soot is unburned fuel ??

[@waynemeredith4287]

So to get cleaner air our diesels burn more fuel by about 3 mpg and then you have to run it up to another 30 minutes periodically just to complete regeneration. Has anyone tested this in real world?

[@25052007]

I modified Cummins 2.8 DPF with V-Band clamp and can now very easilly replace inner element 3rd of the price of cleaning 1/8 price of replacement.IAus

[@nickn1458]

I'll be following along. Thank you for sharing. I've tuned smelly older diesels for years. I added a 2020 powerstroke as my new daily and I enjoy the quietness, smoothness and clean exhaust. I plan to do my own tuning once out of warranty and leaving emmissions intact and appreciate some of the tips on tuning and properly setting up an engine to maintain the emissions equipment and not impacting soot loading and reliability. I imagine eventually we will see the day of 1000hp emissions intact trucks possibly with an aftermarket dpf etc.

[@boomer9341]

Delete your truck now. Black smoke forever!

[@motohobo8826]

Who has the cleanest tunes for a 6.7 cummins

[@lindseyangell986]

So a BANKS added OBD System is not a great idea?

[@crownoffyre894]

So yes you keep all the emissions systems intact but would a fully outfitted truck producing 800 hp realy pass emissions, on top of that your saying that you will have to service them more if you tune them because your will be useing more fuel and soot loading them

[@ATSDieselPerformance]

Crown Lifestylist our 2015 running 650-700hp just passed emissions in Colorado with .01% opacity. We are installing all the testing equipment to begin emissions testing in house. 800hp is the top end of where you will see some soot loading. As with most high horsepower vehicles there are some trades off at the highest power levels and can be turned up and down accordingly depending on application. Go up to 800hp for the track, maybe knock it down to 650-700hp to tow and DD. Again, let’s remember they are ZERO other legal options like this on the market.

[@crownoffyre894]

@@ATSDieselPerformance how about mpg numbers wouldn't the draw of such horsepower drain fuel, and what about your transmission, your transmission you sell some to be more of a reliable replacement for stock horsepower do your rfe 68 transmission have the ability to handle 800 horsepower?

[@ATSDieselPerformance]

Crown Lifestylist If you drive it with your foot to the floor using all that power all the time you will see lower mpg. Yes we have transmission modifications that will hold 800hp. We have a full video series on all the upgrades we do to the 68rfe. Please stay tuned for more videos that go in depth into the 68 valve body. Thank you for your interest!

I wonder if that would really work or if it’ll give some malfunction code.

[@FireBosspilot]

I could deal with a 100,000 mile service interval, although not fantastic having to spend a grand to service the exhaust, its the EGR that is the thorn in my side. Putting raw exhaust back into the intake is a deal breaker. Why not run ALL of the exhaust through....well, the exhaust! Running an EGR to me with the so-called advances they are making these days, its not well thought out. EGR's strip life from a Diesel engine.

[@drewjames8594]

That is the part that I cant get past either... Just can't talk me into forcing that crap back in the intake being ok.

[@jeffreygoss8109]

Believe it or not it cools the engine combustion thus reducing nox. Is it an power robber? Of course. Is it bad for the engine? I guess that is debatable, cooling the combustion chamber might be helpful for longevity. Will it clog and be a pain in the ass? Yup.

[@Boots67]

@@jeffreygoss8109 also introducing soot to your intake, building up on the valves, etc. in no way is it good for your engine and there’s far better ways to “cool the combustion chamber”. There’s a reason why custom high horsepower builds do no such thing. It’s basically shitting where you eat.

[@ketillundsrensen6167]

Don't like that they put the SCR between nthe DOC and DPF. The DOC can burn the injected diesel and help the DPF to regenerate so it should be just before the DPF. And the injector to the Urea would not get soot on it of it was after. Plus the Heat from the regeneration help prevent small crystal build-up happen in the SCR and around the Urea injector

[@nathanielrousan3728]

get to the point please

[@brianawd]

Lol he said clean exhaust. The DEF is killing vegetation around road ways because of the ammonia. Then add the fact that you are burning more fuel during regen as much as 50% more. As the trucks get older they go into regen a lot more often. Sorry but a clean tune with all that shit removed is far better as mpg go up a ton. So in the long run it’s a clean tune not black smoke along with less fuel burned. Delete delete delete

[@Hibbie2963]

And what happens when you are 1500 miles from home, dealer cant get you in for 4 weeks, DEF pump is needed and on national backorder, and this truck is used for work. Quit carrying the water for the EPA, "We The People" don't want this shit!
