DPF core moved

[DVT873]

I have seen this once on a Medium Duty engine. Not quite this bad. The core had moved about 2 inches, enough to bend the temp sensor. In several OEM Aftertreatment Manuals this is called "brick shift" Absolutely 100% OEM DPF. Truck belonged to a state government and was in warranty. I can guarantee you they did not change a friggin thing. They will send two people on a 45 minute one way drive to drop off a truck after hours. Just to be sure it won't be done while one person waits. For a repair that take 15 minutes. Because its warranty. Union.

"If the inlet face of the filter is totally plugged with soot, there is a chance the filter brick material may
have been forced to shift in the diesel particulate filter. A diesel particulate filter, with a shifted brick,
must be replaced.
