    Doesn't that in itself lead to running hotter?

    Now that's a proper trucker fix to a problem. Think about it with a brain and solve it without any fancy math or "certifications". True common sense. Granted, I'd still get it properly inspected, seeing as how it's an early DPF system, could be in need of a proper fix.
