DPF warranty ?

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

What is the warranty coverage on a DPF? If it's completely plugged and a forced regen doesn't clean it, would a new one be covered under warranty?

 

[Beast2B]

there should be an emissions warranty bookley in your original packet. different states have different requirenments IIRC.

 

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

Ok thanks, I'll check when I get home.

Perfect!! I'm at 82K.

If DPF is no longer under warranty, it's time to delete

Yup, it will be gone.

If you don't fix the reason it plugged, it will just plug the new one.

 

[gsbrockman]

Yup, it will be gone.

Based on your previous repair history----I'd bet it could be replaced under warranty with a call to enhanced customer care.

How are you doing a forced regen?

 

[Newsa]

Anyone know if Oregon does emissions inspections? Florida did 22 years ago, but Jeb Bush got rid of that.

If you don't fix the reason it plugged, it will just plug the new one.

The truck was at the dealer for 6 hours yesterday, they couldn't find anything else wrong. It will only clean itself to 80% then says complete. Message returns shortly after saying 100% full. I can't fix what I don't know is wrong, by EPA standards.

I never said anything about putting a new one on.

 

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

How are you doing a forced regen?

I didn't. Dealer said they forced it into regen to try to clean it. Would only clean to 80%.

If the dealer did not find the cause,they did not do all the testing.-or at least did not how to interpret their findings

 

[Newsa]

Could using the wrong oil (CI-4+ instead of CJ-4+) cause the DPF to plug?

 

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

That I don't know. I've done every oil change on this truck since new and I've only used Rottela 15w40 which is Cj-4.

I wasn't there yesterday, my wife was, do I don't know off had what testing was actually done. I will look tonight at the printout and see what it says. I myself do not know what testing should be done so I really couldn't suggest things either.

Bob, when you change a CCV filter, I know you clean the EGR valve, but do you also blow soot out of some lines? One of the guys there told my wife that since I did it myself and didn't bring it in, this could be causing my problems cause I didn't blow the soot out of the lines and in turn caused the new CCV filter to plug within 20K miles of changing it. Which then caused the DPF to plug. Now, I really don't know all the ins and outs of this system, but that sounds a little fishy.

What "soot" ????? The CCV filter basically provides crankcase ventilation filtering of the "mist" from the engine's oil system. No "soot" goes through the CCV ......and there's no prescribed EGR valve cleaning and no prescribed EGR cooler cleaning on a 2013 & up DEF pickup at 67,500 miles, 135,000 miles, etc.

Your dealership staff sounds inept. No wonder your truck sucks.................

No blowing soot out of lines.There is a pressure sensor in the t/stat housing that will sometimes plug not allowing the pressure sensor to see any pressure but this will trip a code.Any restriction in the ccv filter system will also trip codes.Any sensor giving bogus readings can also give you issues without giving a code that will be put you in the correct direction without anyalizing the entire system as a whole

Went from 22mpg & RE-GENS every 200-1000 miles to 24-29 mpg freeway
