Yep, I knew all that. Lol,my Dad has a 08 superduty. When we head out on out wheelin trips pickup/trailer and load was 31,000 + pounds. Didn't have a issure runnin 70 mph down the hwy. But with that, it was gettin 6 mpg. And the regen kicked in every 150-200 miles.
Cali is makin it mandetory for ANY year semi to have a DPF on it. I don't remember what year that goes into affect. But its BS.

The cab doesn't HAVE to come off - it just makes it easier for the techs.
DPF isn't ALWAYS running - but it does do it automatically every ~300 miles or so and if you don't drive on the highway a lot (short drives) it's going to get stuc in the regen mode until it can run long enough to finish meaning you're fuel mileage will suck the big one.
Upside is you can delete the whole thing and get your computer reprogrammed for a few huundys maybe a k.

No. The engineers made it easier by making the cab pulling easier to do. The techs were pulling cabs on 6.0s to make the work easier and ford engineers gave them a bunch of quick connects on the cab mounts and wiring stuff so pulling the cab is cake.

yeah but i dont understand why they gotta make the engines such a clusterf*** of crap...i mean (forgive me for saying this) but look at the newer chevys and dodges **** they arent much worse than the first EFI trucks were as far as complexity and wiring and crap then look at fords...like what the hell do they really need all that **** for i bet they could do away with half of it and not have any problems

Because there's money to be made and people are greedy.
