Complete waste of money to take a truck to the stealershit for emissions issues,.. unless you just like giving money away blindly. Reference: http://rawze.com/forums/showthread.php?t...9#pid22329


Have you done an EGR tune-up etc??

Sounds like your trying to get away with not getting your hands dirty but instead throwing your problems at others. -- this is the fastest way to go broke in trucking that a person can do.

Here is what your facing...

* EGR tune-up, intake and EGR sensors replaced, pulling and having the cans baked out + flow tested, all pipes cleaned out, engine tested for problems that create excess soot, etc.etc.

That whole system is a FILTER SYSTEM so if it is getting clogged up repeatedly and too often -- THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AT THE ENGINE!.

When those systems are working properly, they last about 200k miles or so before needed dire service. Keeping after the engine and the soot buildup in all the pipes and sensors will make it somewhat reliable, but that is only if you maintain it LONG BEFORE GETTING ANY REGEN LIGHTS., like doing EGR tune-up a couple times a year so that the engine does not put excesses of soot into the DPF filter to begin with.

You buy a used truck, you are almost guaranteed that those systems HAVE BEEN TOTALLY NEGLECTED FOR A LONG TIME, perhaps even since the truck has been new. - YOU ARE BUYING SOMEONE ELSE'S NEGLECTED TRUCK, so you should have torn into the whole system before ever putting freight behind the thing after you purchased it. - NO USED TRUCK SELLER is going to do that stuff. - Sure they claim they bake the DPF but this is just a stop-gap measure so that it will not throw a regen light while your test driving it and nothing more.


Here is more info on how you should approach problems like that...
