DPF Delete pipe and still regenerating??????
I have a 2008 F350, when I purchased the truck it came with an edge performance tuner and a DPF/Cat delete pipe. All sensors for DPF are placed in the delete pipe. About 3 weeks ago it started regenerating and has continued to do so.
I have unplugged the sensors and checked connections, removed pressure sensor and cleaned. Im not sure what else I can do. If I have to start replacing sensors, I will just get a spartan tuner that can turn the regen off.
Any ideas guys???

from what i have read, when the dpf is removed and the truck doesn"t have an offroad tune, you problemis what happens. Someone correct me if I am wrong here. Either you need to put the dpf back on, or get an off road tune.

i watched a video from powerstrokehelp and he did a video on the DPF.. He stated that he recomended a certain tune that some aftermarket tuners would still regenerate.. I am crunched for time at work. someone with some time post the video for me please.. he goes into great detail on it..

The delete pipe that is on my truck has 4 sensors that are plugged in and screwed into the pipe. 3 probe looking sensors and something that looks like a pressure sensor spaced out where the DPF and the Cat was. Correct me if I am wrong but with those sensors there, they should be reading open flow!? Right??? So the regen would not have a reason to start or continously cycle.

Any idea why it is continuously doing it? Has been for the last 2-3 weeks. It will stop, then about 50 miles later it does it again.

Same problem has happened before
Its not seeing the exhaust temps it needs to start the regen. So it never leaves. Also the EPA wants you to have a DPF. I hope you have one. If not get one from a junk yard.
You can get a turner that will do a DPF delete or a New/Used exhaust system.

I was thinking about getting rid of the Edge that came on it and getting a Spartan Tuner along with a EGR delete kit. Looks like that's what I'm going to have to do. I have a buddy looking for a DPF for me, he is in the junk yard business. It want be going on unless I have to though. Thanks for the info!!

DPF
It a GOOD idea to keep a factory exhaust system if you find one. Because of state inspection. Remember the DPF is mandated by the federal government and most states. I got burn on my 95 Camero when my county started smog testing. So if you can keep the parts to pass inspection I would.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I recently received my Spartan tuner and love it. It obviously fixed my problem. I have only had it set as high as the +125hp tune, I am kinda hesitant about turning up any higher, thinking stuff might start breaking....lol
I also ordered the EGR delete kit but I haven't installed it yet.
But thanks again for you guys responses!!!
