When we had ours baked at 250K the Pocatello Kenworth shop took it out and we ran it to the bake shop in Idaho Falls because we were on a tight schedule.
wasn’t very expensive and got us down the road for another 250 K.
I also had very good service from the Heyburn Kenworth shop, and they have access to aftermarket DPF’s.Siinman, Big Road Skateboard, Concorde and 2 others Thank this. -
Just want to thank everyone for your replies. My first time dealing with emissions problems so to say I’m a little nervous would be an understatement.
Ended up going to Jackson Group Peterbilt early this morning. Figured I needed them to hook it up for a diagnosis before I did anything else.
They got me into the shop around noon. DPF was plugged beyond what a regen could clean. They got it put into the oven to clean it. Supposedly takes 5 hours. What really surprised me is that they said I’m still under warranty but only by a couple thousand miles.
Because they think there’s an underlying problem causing the filter to plug up they got Cummins involved to help figure it out.
Ended up taking a taxi to the Best Western in Jerome..didn’t realize that I probably could have just walked, lol.
Not a bad place for being the only place so it’s a little pricey imo. We’re allowed to take one complimentary beer out of the Pepsi machine after 6pmducnut, Big Road Skateboard, Oxbow and 3 others Thank this. -

There’s this shop in Funtucky(Fontana) Commiefornia, that uses a solution he calls “The Dip”, cleans it better than baking it. $250.00.

At least it was under warranty. You may want to look at using Max Mileage since you idle a lot. Might prevent it from happening again.

They’re still waiting for Cummins to figure it out so I booked another night at the Ritz, lol.
I really don’t understand any of this bs but there’s a reason why it’s getting so bad and unable to burn the crap off. Maybe a sensor not activating until it’s too late? I’m not even going to pretend that I have any clue!Siinman, Diesel Dave, gentleroger and 1 other person Thank this. -
I am glad I have a great relationship with my dealer. They will work with any other shop if I am down to help get me going. Also they are one of the bigger shops in the USA for Volvo. Never have to wait to get in if I need in right away and take care of me every time. I will never own any other kind of truck as long as I live in that area.Concorde Thanks this.
