My truck has a little over 180k miles +5k hours, +1k idle hours and my DPF/EGR hasn't been touched. As a matter of fact my fuel economy has slightly increased and I've been running ExxonMobil Diesel Efficient fuel exclusively for the past year that produces less soot and that can only help the emissions system. This small increase in fuel economy is compared to when my truck was new so that tells me my dpf is not clogging to the point if affects performance and fuel economy. I drive a mixed city and highway and pull occasionally.

Your tag says you are in Fredrick, MD. I travel through there occasionally. If you don't mind which stations carry premium fuel?

Southern States on Route 85. They have truck lanes. Todays price is $2.66 a gallon.

Hey there... This thread is 3 years old. But I've done this myself... Who knows, maybe it will gain traction.

napa sells some stuff from Lucas for cleaning the DPF.
Life is hard to really pin down. There are many over 200K miles.

I use this every tank. Since I don't have a bed cover that could keep stuff secure in the bed, I keep this in a military ammo can in the truck that has a seal on it because this schitt stinks.

Pittsburgh Power also cleans DPFs using the equipment from DPF Alternative's. They cut the rocketship open to get to the particulate filter part I believe. They have articles on this on their site as I believe I've seen it on the Ford's systems before.

I have seen kits online that make the DPF part of the rocketship a bolt on after it's separated from the whole body.
