Find a washed out washboard dirt road and haul buggy down that road WHILE IN REGEN! I picked up almost 2 mpg on my f450. It must shake the soot around good and burn more of it up. My guess but it worked like a champ!

Curious how it went with the dealer. Is your EGT covered under warranty?
Im having an issue with my dealer service writer today about a failed EGT sensor.
Claims it was broken in peices and parts are stuck in the particulate filter. Quoted me 650.00 for parts only for EGT sensor. and 1600.00 for a new Particulate filter again parts only. According to him the parts are not under warranty. think I may have to B***h slap him back to reality. Different dealer tried the same stunt when my thermostat froze and blew a hose a few months ago.
He's due to call me this morning.

Someone may correct me here, but if it was me, I'd just ask for a new sensor to be put in, and leave the busted tip in there, I doubt it will do anything.
I don't see a small foreign object having much if any negative effect on DPF flow at all.
