Do any owner operators do EGR cleaning service?

I hear the same thing from some others. I have never done it but my be something I will be doing with the new truck.

 

Is the "machine" he is referring to, the Diesel Force cleaning from Pittsburgh power?

 

Have never done the trucks, but do the reefer egr's every 5-6K hours in a sonic cleaner. Would just have to get a larger one.

 

I have CRS so I may be wrong.

Diesel Force is a foam cleaner. They hook up to the egr and it goes through the whole system. An oil change and a forced regen are required after it's done. They're their own company, it's not from PP.

I had it done once. IMO you're better off taking the parts off for cleaning and inspection.

 

I was going through sensors on a used truck I owned
Only had 200k when I bought it
KW in Ogden had it in and they flushed the egr and told me they have guys do it every year as PM and never have issues
I had no issues after that

I now do the same thing and so far, no issues but I’m in a newer truck
I also use Pittsburgh Powers catalyst additive
Might be snake oil but have friends that swear by it

Some do, some don't, some "clean" it out of the system and no more "cleaning" needed.
