The dpf filter was cleaned and mpg seemed fine, but then 250 miles down the road the outlet NOx sensor went out and was about 1500 miles of reduced mpg. From 6.2 to 5.8 mpg. The sensor was replaced, but instead of mileage going back up, it went down even more to 5.2. I'm losing 1 mpg now and dont know why... no codes, so I need someone who might know what's happened???

Could be totally off base but just want to bring it to your attention, have you up dated the fuel pump plungers? I have a 13' Pete with 11.9 @425 and it ate the plungers and caused fairly severe engine damage .... only has 205,000 miles

The fuel pump was replaced in early 2016 at 425000 miles. Not sure about plungers.
