    These things that go into the one box, should I pull them out and clean them or anything?

    Truck has a DD15 with 225,000 miles, there are not any issues, it runs as good as it ever has. Only have it apart to fix a rattle from the heat shield.

    I do know all about the 5 digit price tag it has. That’s why I’m asking if I should pull any of those out and clean or replace them. Or if it’s one of those if it’s not broke don’t mess with it deals.

    If you just want to clean the sensors, you should be ok. As far as taking the dpf apart and cleaning them, I would suggest you don't, unless you want to spend a couple hundred on new v-clamps and gaskets. It's also kind of a pain in the ### to line them up when putting them back together.

    Hey Oscar. They are just temp. sensors. From front of truck to back. #1 doc inlet, #2 dpf inlet, #3 dpf outlet. Removing them without stripping or breaking is 95% of the battle. This is why I would say NO. Replacing, if you want, is a better option because they are quite cheap as far as sensors go.
