DPF Replacement

Has anyone done this yet? I have read average lifespan on these is 100-125k (correct me if Im wrong) Im at 132k so beginning to think about it. I would delete but I live in Mass where they do test for readiness at annual inspection. Seems like a relatively straight forward job. One question - the factory service manual says after replacing to do a DPF system parameter reset, SCR parameter reset and clear continuous PCM DTCs/reset emissions monitors information in the PCM. Can these three functions be done through forscan?
Also are there any good sources for a new DPF? Thank you

I’ve seen them go much farther than that on average. Not sure on all the resets. Replacing the DPF would be pretty easy and cheap. Find a guy in a neighboring state that would sell you theirs when the time comes. For instance, mine was removed at 800 miles after deleting. They usually sell for $4-600 bucks used versus $2,500+ new from Ford.

Pretty sure if you ask in the forums or FB groups you will easily be able to find someone that will sell you their low mileage DPF. Plenty of guys are wanting to delete, and i'm sure they would love to offset the costs.

I believe the design life is in the 250,000 mile range. You should have a good bit of time to research a replacement.

If you want your filter to last, clean it. There are cleaning solutions that you spray into your DPF system through an access hole. Most of the solutions require you to do a regen after the cleaning process

Mine went 230K before I got rid of it. It's probably still going fine.

Interesting and good to know they should last closer to 250k. I will look into cleaning as well - didnt know that was an option. None of my trucks have ever had the def and dpf system so this is all new to me.

That was interesting. I wonder if there a Ford-approved process like that that the dealer will do.

I don’t know what Ford charges for this DPF cleaning service but a few years ago, dodge was charging $1000CAD for a “DPF Service and Cleaning”

Ford dealers sell their version of the spray. This is something that I don’t think you would want to do numerous times. I’d say clean it at 80,000 mile intervals would be a good guess. Over cleaning will result in excess and unnecessary wear.

It’s amazing what happens when you can’t sleep so you start watching YouTube videos and get stuck in that YouTube vortex. Lol At least this time, I didn’t end up on a video of how to steal from Walmart. 😂
