Diesel Exhaust Filter
#1
Diesel Exhaust Filter
On the way to Colorado from Texas the engine tried to regen several times before showing the check engine symbol and wrench symbol. The dealer up here says the exhaust filter assembly is plugged and needs replacing. I have the Ford extended warranty but they are telling me this work isn’t covered. The price is $6100. Does anyone have any experience with this problem.

The filter is part of the emissions system. Depending on mileage I would think it’s covered.

And, yes, the extended warranty expressly excludes the DPF Diesel Particulate Filter, just because they are so expensive to replace.
Your choices are limited, pay the dealer the 6100 and go on with your trip.
Find an independent shop and get a used one installed.
Get it towed home and do one of those above solutions.
The DPF can be cleaned and put back on, but not many shops fool with the ones from pickups.
Keeping on driving with the clogged DPF isn't a good option, it will eventually not be able to keep going.
