Cleaning your DPF filters yourself

I saw it done on youtube...the guy was funny, personalizing his filter and talking to it like a human being.

 

anything seen on the internet should be seen with a grains of salt

 

If you do anything with a dpf, you should use a sawzall and cut it off before it grenades the motor

 

Probably better than listening to some salesman telling you how you're engine will run like new if you get it cleaned in his fancy machine. I'm not sold that cleaning is worth the time or effort. Only experience was spending 1k and getting a 'cummins reman,' the thing was clogged worse than the original I took off.

 

^^^^^^^^^What this guy said.

 

Well we cant talk about THAT kind of stuff on the forum I believe. But I think you know what I'm talking about! Lol!

 

I know one guy who once a year removes canisters on his 3 Pete’s pressure washes the filter and reinstalls with new gaskets .. he swears they go the year without codes .. he was told by a cummmins shop that they no longer clean them properly because they shortened the cleaning time due to a few shops burning down while cleaning dpf filters in the long burn process .. guy told him to pressure wash them and it’s been working well for 3 years now apparently
