    Yes I posted pics of the hole on page 1 hole is about 1/4 in wide and 1 in long. Hole is on bottom of dpf filter housing....they want 1700 for part 800 for labor and replace my def doser valve 500 labor 250 2 hours diagnostics and computer hookup 430 and 2 more house crysalization sub test and Regen 350. And yes I would like to get it home to Central California but I'm sure it's going to cost just as much so I'm stuck

    Your dpf May be an issue but;

    The emission system depends on accurate sensor readings and UNCLOGGED pressure readings. Rawze.com

    Is your truck manual or automatic?? You can drive it home either way by disconnecting speed sensor so it won’t put it in 5mph limp mode. Either go empty or pick a load under 10k lbs. you will be fine I know people making it back from Pennsylvania back to Chicago fully loaded with speed sensor disconnected. And just doing forced regen as soon as they can after delivery or dropping a trailer. Can you see your exhaust temperature on a gauges?

    Speed sensor trick won't work on my truck as I don't have manual mode with the +- button to switch gears so I would be stuck in 1st gear. Anybody know of any companies that would quote me to get my truck towed. Just truck no trailer
