    I have a 2012 Int Prostar Maxx 13 with 360k, just had the DPF removed, clean and burned and I replaced the pressure sensor, the one on top of the filter. The truck requires Regen between 100 to 160 miles when I drive in the city (I'm a local driver in Los Angeles traffic ), the truck doesn't like it when I'm going up hills or when I use the engine break or when I idle in those instances it request Regen even sooner, when I go up hills it gives me the flashing light without giving me the solid light.
    When I drive long to another state it doesn't ask for any regeneration, only when running local.
    I did a dyno test last week and they told me all is ok. Any recommendations? ?. Thanks

    Yeah, ditch the Maxxforce, there's a reason they can't give them things away.

    Did they clean out the ash box?

    Did they check/replace temp sensor? Sounds like your system doesn't feel it's getting up to temp. That's a real common problem with those Internationals.

    image.jpeg The olnly sensor that it was changed is the one in the picture and I think that one it's the pressure sensor, it's mounted on the muffler upright pipe DPF.

    Which is the ash box?

    Ok, there is way more to the aftertreatment than just the DPF. Did they remove and clean the DOC? How about the PreDOC? How about the doser injector?

    They removed the whole filter and took it apart, 2 pieces were taken to be cleaned and cooked and that sensor was put new. The Dozer was not touched,

    Ok, I would have the dozer removed and cleaned. If you notice any white/grey bluish smoke once in a while, this is typical when a regen is happening but the DOC is worn out.

    Doing a regen

    After I had my Volvo PDF burnt out, within a week it was wanting a forced regen. Turned out to be needing new knock sensors, just a thought.

    my truck broke down going up hill, the line to the injector 4 blew out, stripped the thread of the line and the fuel high pressure unit,
    $700 for the tow and $2500 for the repair, not my week. 20170429_085021.jpg 20170429_085050.jpg
