CM2250 Regen Confusion

[Hedley]

the trouble with getting your DPF baked or cleaned is that it is bound to clog up again in a few months time bringing you back to the dealership over and over keeping their coffers full of your hard earned money, it can be a slow death for sure.

the key thing to understand in regards to your DPF is that the F stands for Filter and like any other filter it has a lifespan, if it is clogged replace the damn thing instead of baking it, it should be good for another 350 to 400 thousand miles or so, by the way..your DOC has a platinum coating that deteriorates with every regen, once the platinum coating is gone then you are up the proverbial creek again.

replacing both will set you back about 7K parts wise, go with Plan B and do away with this death spiral that has been set in motion.

Plan C is to have the Mandate neutralized at half the cost of Plan B, fuel mileage gain will be around the 25% and no more trips to the dealer, engine life will be extended as well, there is a thread here with pictures of an overhaul that Rawze is doing on his engine, the engine has close to a million miles, a good tech looking on the wear on this engine would swear that the engine has less than 100K wear on it.... I recommend Plan C.


oh yea... your Dozer Valve is clogged.
