Anyone try cleaning their DPF?

I dropped my DPF about 1K miles ago and cleaned it out with my air gun. It has 32K on it

The past 2 complete regens were very short. The first one lasted 8.5miles, the second today ran 4.5miles, both on freeway.

I was at the dealer after the first regen to check on smoking. I think they partially regened the truck at the service bay because I had 169miles since the first regen completion and 216 miles after the dealer visit before today's full regen (if that makes any sense) .

What's weird is the regens were half my normal duration.

Any of you try this? I'm sort of 'cautiously optimistic' over the results. Or did I screw something up?

I thought the new flash has changed the regen frequency and length?, I removed mine shortly after the flash, I don't think it even had a chance to regen before it was pulled....

I thought the new flash shortened the length as well the first few ones but I am back up to 400-500 emtpy regens again.
