Too much or just right?

Well, after three cleanings, this is what the DPF looks like.



I basically followed this procedure.

The discoloration at the 12 o'clock position is caused by the intake DPF differential pressure sensor tube blocking the filter and the discoloration at the 1 o'clock position is caused by the intake DPF temp sensor blocking the filter.

Other than that, I think it looks pretty good.

I'm going to finally install it tomorrow. I was thinking about doing a forced regen, but with the DPF basically clean, is it really necessary? If I do perform a forced regen, I'll post regen numbers tomorrow. If I decide not to, because I hate doing forced regens because of the wasted fuel, I'll post regen numbers in a couple of days.

Fingers crossed.
