DPF Cleaning costs..can someone help with a cost effective place?

You’re not late to the party. I’m afraid that the party just started.

Got the truck back yesterday and today it seems like nothing was resolved…maybe my imagination but twice I stopped today and it was in a passive regen. I hit the manual regen switch and it wanted to go into a full regen…I terminated it and kept rolling.

Left Idaho Falls this morning and at the Loves in Sydney, NE for my ten.

Hauling 38k in the box and pretty much ran 76mph all day..imo it shouldn’t be going into a regen.

I’m exhausted right now and cell/ internet service here is horrible otherwise I’d upload the Bill / job details.

Turns out it wasn’t under warranty but that’s no surprise. Service manager was probably thinking of another customer truck.

Will post more tomorrow once I’m in a better area.

 

One thing mentioned was that it could be injectors dumping too much fuel. Supposedly that’s what one of the codes hinted towards.

Unfortunately they never completed the follow up with Cummins.

Total bill from the dealership was $1,6xx and I had them replace a defective fan belt.

Between that and the motel I feel like I paid $2k for a fan belt installed.

I just hate dealerships and not being able to talk with the technicians directly.

 

Yesterday I hammered it full throttle all shift through ID, UT and WY..had issues.

Today, NE 67mph (never happens but 7.5 mpg was nice) Iowa, 65-70 mostly but did hammer it up a few hills. Stopped once for fuel and had absolutely no problems. No passive or parked regents.

I’m starting to believe it could be a bad injection dumping too much fuel and overwhelming the DPF.

Is there any way to test the injection system or do I just have to wait for it to throw another code? Waiting for it to give a code means screwing up the DPF again.

Sorry for my ignorance

 

Been to Dodge City Kenworth a few times..actually bought my first truck from them.

Was a small staff , nice to deal with and they always got me in right away. Call me nutz but I use to go to Dodge almost weekly for a couple years..kind of like it there.

Going to try finding a load towards there after I drop in Maryland.
