"dpf full" fault code

yeah it looks like cummins dealer is going to pop it out and see if it can be cleaned. if not, they will replace. freightliner and detroit both said they can't or will not even attempt to clean it. we'll see what happens! either way it ain't cheap!

 

$800 for cleaning but the replacement was more complicated.... Cummins said their filters were $1800 plus 4-5 hours labor but I had a couple different freightliner dealers tell me the filters are only $850. Cummins said they find it hard to believe a filter was only $850. I'll hope mine can be cleaned and cross the replacement bridge when I come to it!

 

Are you talking egr or dpf? (Aren't there some trucks that have egr without dpf?) If you're talking about dpf, I was told to have the filter cleaned about every 250,000 miles or so. Mine went 550,000. Next time around I'll try to catch it earlier

 

I only wish I was mechanically inclined enough to pull off something like that I'd probably screw things up or poison myself

 

Huh, that's weird about the fuel mileage, at least to me. With all the weird stuff ive had happen with the dpf ive never had an issue with fuel mileage. Hey when you get it fixed let me know what it was, ok? thanks!
