Update: Fuel mileage dropped to 6.5 on the todays fill up, but I was running heavier loads and had a head wind on a short trip. Another thing I have noticed is that now I have to run the engine a little higher on the rpm's cause the EGT's will run a little warmer 750* post at low rpm. The truck responds quicky if I need to get up and go with no issues though. Basically I just needed to make a few tweaks on myself to get adjusted with the DPF retrofit. Since I am running my own custom file (so to speak), Im just watching the gauges more than usual. All in all, the DPF retrofit is doing better than I thought with the set up Im running. Also, when I see all day long the trucks with the newer emissions broken down on the side of the road, it makes me feel at peace the route I went.
2CAN, gokiddogo, sshewins and 1 other person Thank this. -
UPDATES......Fuel mileage still averaging from 6.5 to 7.0 mpg's.

Overall, are you happy with the retro?

Ca is not enforced. I wouldn't worry about a filter. It'll never Be enforced.
We have just as many pre emission trucks here as we do newer gens. -
