I started using the max mileage fuel additive. On the advice of some polish dude that I met at the shop in ND. He swore by it. The filter literally fell apart as I finished the rather expensive gallon. Which was about 3 months. The gallon was 281 bucks.

I checked my records, the filter has about 730,000 miles on it. 600,000 of which the egr temp unplugged and egr valve physically blocked.



my old filter, pictured as is removed from truck by me.





cummins new or refurbished filter...2200 bucks.



the bottom end of my old filter.

and my DOC.

Other than the bottom falling out theres hardly any soot or ash, I expected 2 inches of coal on the top of the filter from all the horror stories I've heard.

Anyway the truck is going back together tomorrow, then I am taking it in for an annual dot inspection, I will see how it runs.
