DPF Question
First off, if this has been asked before did try to search and could not find it.
My Buddy has a 08 f-250 with just under 70,000 miles on it. When I was looking over his truck I noticed that his exhaust tip was black. When I asked about re-gens he said that they do not happen very often, which he was happy about. What we are wondering is, if the truck has a leaking DPF and does not re-gen will it put him into limp mode? He and his wife are full timing in their Fifth Wheel and I would hate to see him get stuck in the middle of nowhere while on the road.
Thanks and I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas and Santa is nice.

The motor will make it regen at around 630 miles or so. So it will happen.
Sounds like his DPF is cracked and letting some of the soot by.
Other items to watch though is for growing oil or loosing coolant. They are also hard on the DPF but would usually cause frequent regens.

Happened to me at 56k. Black tips, regens were spuratic and when it did regen, it was for a prolonged period. Took it in to the local dealer and diagnosed a cracked DPF. Replaced, a little better fuel mileage and it took about 60 days for the pipes to turn back to off white.
