    I'm a little late to the party here but I "talked" to a DPF retrofit company,, $15k to $20k YIKES!

    I'm sure there are some sort of grants available if one has the ability and patience to work through the labyrinth of the carb website.

    Here's an FAQ, http://www.ironmanparts.com/?id=emi1&sub=faq

    Not to get all political but this deadline is bearing down on us fast. Not just everybody has $20 large to drop into their truck, heck, some trucks that need the DPF aren't even worth $20k.

    Tony Brazil (sp), is a spokesman :biggrin_25516: for carb whom I've heard on the truckers XM channel is under the belief the replacement of trucks and retrofits is right on schedule.
    His talent for dancing around a question is only surpassed by Ann Ferro.

    Sorry about the rant and the hijack.

    My first thought when the OP posted the question was.... look for fried exhaust pipes!

    See a driver told me its located under the cab . My light comes on the dash the moment we speak. I'm doing research trying to figure out how this looks and where exactly it located so I can get a visual , seems to me I must get it cleaned or replaced. I have no clue
