Stop watching all those bulls#it YouTube and social media videos, garbage statements where ppl wash them out with liquids, foams, fuel, and other such nonsense == fastest way to ruin one.

You need the proper hi-temp oven, de-ash, and flow-test machines. something like this one: http://rawze.com/forums/showthread.php?t...5#pid50975



Take em off (both DOC and DPF)... send em to a stealers$it for a few hundred bucks to have baked, de-ashed, and flow tested on a proper set of machines.

Since you have a truck that uses DEF fluid,.. also inspect the decomp tube abnd SCR element while you are at it. http://rawze.com/forums/showthread.php?t...07#pid1807

The way I saw was a guy on YouTube and he did it with just water with a pressure sprayer. He said his shop has been doing it this way with success. Maybe it's not the best though. It's hard to know, but it doesn't seem like water would be destructive.
