Too much or just right?

RE: Too much or just right?
UPDATE!! AND EDITED!!

So, I talked to Rawze. I plan on getting my truck down to Atlanta in a couple of months and letting the magic man do his thing. However, I need to get the truck back on the road first. So, I did a DIY DPF cleaning. Here are some pictures.

After removing the DPF from the truck, I used a shop vac and compressed air to start blowing the soot back through the filter.


And 1st cleaning completed.


I placed the DPF in my kiln intake side down and heated it up to dry the soot first.


After this, I removed the DPF and used a shop vac and compressed air again. I thought I took pictures of the 2nd cleaning, but I guess I forgot. (I'll post pictures of the DPF after I remove it from the kiln and before I do the 3rd and final cleaning.) I was just so excited how clean the thing looked. After the second cleaning, I put it back in the kiln for a couple more hours. I'm currently waiting for it to cool off and will clean it again tomorrow. More pictures and the final result to come!!

I know there is a setting in Insite to tell the ECM that the DPF has been replaced, but I do not remember seeing anything about the DPF being cleaned. Do I just tell the ECM that it is a new filter? Anyone know?

Thanks guys!
