"dpf full" fault code

Anyone know if the engine will ever actually shut down when the dpf gets full or when fault code says it's full? I have a 2009 Cascadia w/ series 60...truck is running as good as it ever has, but i have the check engine light and got a "dpf full" fault code. I'm wondering how long i have to get it in the shop because my ex-wife has all my money and i know how expensive filters are. I've noticed sometimes with these check engine lights, ya get one and might be able to run 500,000 more miles before anything really NEEDS to be done...and i know the dealer will tell me i need a whole new filter no matter what because that's what dealers do to me

 

Thanks for the help. Several dealers have told me i can't run a regen (parked or otherwise) unless the regen light comes on. Is this true? My regen light is not on - I'm only getting the yellow engine light that says "check" and the fault code for "dpf full". I have wanting to run a parked regen for the last three years but i have not been able to run one, or at I don't know how.

 

I would love to run a regen but like i was telling the other fella i have been told i can't run a parked regen unless the regen light comes on. I would also like to keep the idling low but this is not always possible, and to be quite honest i don't feel i should HAVE to keep the idling low, because after all it's a semi truck!!! In the winter I like to idle at least ten minutes to warm the truck up, and of of course when the bunk heater or a/c goes out i need to idle. My whole life I was taught that semis idle and this is normal, and now all of a sudden in the new kinder gentler politically correct world we live in everyone is telling me how awful it is! anyway thanks for the help and advice

 

Yeah I know i should probably do this, but I just lost a week and $9000 for other repairs and what was left went to the ex-wife. Hey lemme ask, before your truck shut down was it still running okay or did you notice a difference? In other words is it likely i'll have any warning? thanks for the help and advice !
