So I asked the question about regens earlier and why the clean exhaust filter came on everyday. well two days ago i got drive to clean and did until it said drive complete, last night same thing got the same thing, and today still got clean exhaust filter. i drive 20 twice a night for my wife so im not killing it. what is the deal?

 

There is probably a sensor issue or an overfueling condition

If you still have warranty I would take it in

 

i do have waranty. thank you ill see what they say

 

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!

 

I bet you've used a lot of fuel..You need to have it serviced. Let us know what happens and what was the issue.

 

Thats an interesting observation, There is also youtube videos of people cleaning out DPF's with a washgun.

I don't know if any of these tricks really work, but what the heck, might as well try haha.

 

Do what I do, curse the EPA daily for our *****ty milage and having to put up with the stupid *** DPF...makes me feel a little better

 

I have an appointment with the dealership service mechanics this week. Only having the truck a week i got under the hoodtoday to do all the fluid checks and stuff no surprise air filter extremley dirty so cleaned it best i could until i can get new one. in my silverado gas engine i used a k&n and it did wonders can i use that on this truck or stick with motorcraft?

 

Stick with the donaldson.

The only way I would buy another aftermarket filter is if I built a racing toy that I had to get dyno numbers to show off.

 

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.

 

He would be correct. the Sensor is not covered unless you still have some emissions warranty left, check that.

 

Ugh thats painful!
I have only a download showing "covered parts" what is the emissions warranty on the 6.4?
Thanks

 

Go here and read what is covered.

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.
