How do you know if you have a DPF filter installed on tractor?

DPF's came out to meet the 2007 emissions. A 2006 engine would not have a DPF unless someone has already retrofitted one onto the truck. If it is on the truck, it is part of the exhaust system. Do a visual check. If it is there, you should be able to see it.

 

look for DPF purge button) this button actuates DPF regeneration when truck is parked

 

depending on engine

for example converting Cummins to DPF is not easy, you have to install CM871 ECM, many other actuators and sensors, DPF control unit, regeneration fuel lines, DPF.....

but there are non regenerating DPF you can install on any trucktor. When it is clogged it must be removed for cleaning.

 

...and that is where the expense of those "cheaper" units comes in.

the problem is that DPF regeneration requires more oxigen in exaust and hight temperature + additional fuel injector mounted in muffler.

so engines with VGT may be equipped by self de ashing DPF.

06 Series 60 may be converted to regeneratible DPF. But if you wanna retrofit DPF on pre EGR truck with turbo w/o VNT it is possible to retrofit passive DPF only.

to add DEF (SCR) is possible to Mercedes engine, but not to Series 60. Really new DD 11/13/15/16 are Mercedes OM47X engines.

 

DPF = Diesel Particulate Filter
PM filter = Particulate Matter filter

Same BS, different name.
