DIY DPF cleaning?

Not seeing the Diesel Particulate Filter on there.

Looks like DPF might be listed in the second to last block on the right hand column in the first pic. It says assembly so it’s not specific but it lists DPF…

That’s far less than I was thinking. Thank you.

thats if you drop it and bring it in.
if we remove and reinstall with a bake and pulse its more labor.
we call it a drop and inspect.

Federal should be 5 yr 100k for aftertreatment. Cummins, paccar/mx emissions is 5 yr 100k on emission/aftertreatment. maybe the class 8 truck is longer that passenger.

Alfaobd is a worthy investment with these trucks. You can read codes, data log, add factory options your truck did not come equipped with. You can also run a stationary de-soot which is basically a parked regen which will cook out your dpf pretty good.

I’ve got it but haven’t installed the bypass module yet.

"Drop it" meaning the dropping the enclosed system and bringing it in, or dropping the system and cutting the filter out and bringing it in?

depends on the length of the filter and pipes, some wont fit in an oven.

I'm not saying you should do this... but I'll tell you what seems to have helped me in my situation with my truck constantly throwing "regen too often" codes all the damn time (about every week and a half).

I bought a 64 oz bottle of Hot Shot's Secret - P040464Z Diesel Extreme Clean and Boost and put half the bottle in 1/4 tank of diesel (30 gallon tank). Added another 1/4 tank of fuel. Drove it until it went back down to 1/4 tank and added the other half of bottle, then added another 1/4 tank of fuel. Drove it until it went back down to 1/4 tank again. Filled it up. It ran regen on its own shortly after that.

It's been a month since I started that process. No more codes. Period. Again, I used to get them about every week and a half. Now, a month later, no codes. Has it regened since then? Yes of course. Has it yelled at me that it's doing it too often? Nope. The jury is still out, but if this holds up, $40 bottle of Hot Hot's Secret was a good investment for me. Might not work for you, but seems to have done the trick so far for me.

I got the idea from this video from a guy with an EcoDiesel Ram.

I figured I'd try it.

I noticed you mentioned that you couldn't see the Diesel Particulate Filter in the pictures, but it looks like it might be listed in the second to last block on the right-hand column in the first pic. That being said, DIY DPF cleaning can be a bit of a tricky process, especially if you're not familiar with the inner workings of your vehicle. If you're not confident in your abilities, I'd recommend looking into professional ford dpf cleaning services instead. They have the expertise and equipment necessary to get the job done quickly and effectively, so you can get back on the road without any worries.
