    BINGO!! we have a winner.

    the M2 isn't your daddy's 1995 freightliner, it is a bit more complex than that and it should be brought into a freightliner shop, the codes downloaded and see what they are.

    The codes it's throwing are telling you what's wrong.

    If it's a 2007, it could have DPF or it could just be EGR. If only EGR, the inlet tube from the exhaust manifold may have been blocked off by a previous owner. Easy to do and throws no codes, and stops the engine from ingesting it's own crap.
    As far as the codes etc goes, you just have to get the codes read, period. I have my own code reader in the truck, and would highly recommend anyone whop owns a truck go out and buy one. More so if the local dealer is completely useless!
