Look how happy he is holding that dpf filter. Dude knows that thing brings him the most money

[@timothydobrynski9028]

Dude, it literally takes like an hour to take that damn thing off of a truck. You can drop it off at any dealership and they charge you like maybe $300 if you do the work just so they clean it out to use their machine and put it back in in one hour. You guys are just stupid or too lazy to do it. I take mine out every 200,000 miles and get it cleaned at the freightliner dealer cost me maybe 20 or $30 to buy the new bolts and clips that break sometimes on the covers and then about a couple of bucks in gas to drive to the damn freightliner dealer from my house and it was like maybe $50 for the freaking three or four sockets that are required to take it apart and then you have to buy either two or four clamps because they have an internal seal to put it back on the DOC can do this job with basic maintenance skills but you guys wanna go to a dealership and they charge a grand when it only takes maybe two hours

[@nooneyouknow7036]

Adam, the DPF diesel particulate filter, as you know, traps PM participate matter, aka soot. Soot is unburned fuel. There is a combustion catalyst product on the market that improves the combustion of the fuel and reduces the soot at it's origin point within the combustion chamber. Less soot means a cleaner EGR system, VGT, and DPF. Also any soot that does get produced is laced with the product and will Regen more thoroughly at a lower temperature. I've been using it for 3 years continuously and it has worked as advertised and reduced associated maintenance costs. More up-time and less maintenance expense.

[@johnalbone30192]

I have a question, I’ve owned this 2019 dd15 forever. It’s always does an active regen while driving every 4,000 miles or so. I never idle because I own the truck and know what it does. Currently it’s been 7,000+ miles since my soot level has gone up and gone through an active regen. Won’t let me park regen it because it says soot level is low. Zero codes or lights. Any thoughts? The reason I’m concerned is because religiously without fail the soot level goes up to about half after 4,000 miles and regens in 30-50 miles. When I say religiously I mean for the entire life of this truck (900k mikes). This truck has likely been maintained better than 99% of the trucks out there and because far it’s been great. I also have zero issues with power or idle. Checked for leaks and found none. Any advice? Am I just in my own head about it? Should I take it in and have them force a regen?

[@marcusdenning1649]

I have to idle. Opti idle absolutely sucks. But I notice a decrease time between regen ?

[@michaelwright1602]

You need to change out your sensors, the intake manifold pressure sensor and exhaust back pressure sensor. That is what they are called on an ISX, Detroit may call them something different, but similar. Those two sensors are the cause of most bad readings and CEL. On the Cummins, when new DPF cans are installed, the computer on the truck needs to be told that the filters have been changed out, the ECM needs to be reset. I would assume it is the same on the Detroits.
