A Minimum of $1,400 Saved in Total Cost of Operation. Owners can plan on buying two will-fit DPFs versus one Genuine Cummins product. At today’s prices, that would cost about $3,400 versus $2,000 for the Genuine Cummins DPF. That’s roughly $1,400 extra for the DPFs alone. Downtime, missed deliveries, reduced fuel efficiency and labor costs Particle filter: time since last regeneration 40855 s Particle filter: soot mass calculated 34.93 g Particle filter: soot mass measured 16.68 g 3rd reading take enroute, about 25mins into the trip, on the freeway at 110kms when a regen had just taken place. Laptop was hooked up all the way: Particle filter: time since last regeneration 60 s
A longer highway drive occasionally should help. Increasing Air flow on a diesel lowers Exhaust Gas Temps (EGT), they work opposite of gasoline engines. Lowering EGT makes a passive DPF regen even more unlikely. When I'm towing I never go through an active regen, my DPF gauge sits at 0% the whole time.
During the regeneration process, the PCM raises the temperature in the DPF to burn off the soot accumulated. Under normal operation, the engine does not produce enough heat to oxidize the soot inside the DPF. This process requires temperatures above 550 ºC (1,022 ºF). 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty 123,000 mi, Visitor. DPF cleaning cycle is almost a daily issue, when in cleaning cycle I loose power and fuel gage drops fast. 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty 100,000 mi, Visitor. Cleaning exhaust filter light comes on while on interstate doing 70. Truck slows down to 45. After last dealer visit my truck runs very well. I do not know how long it will run like this. I expect I have to clean the DPF at some point and I want to get all the information and keep in file. My truck is 2007 320 CDI has 108,000 miles. Based on what I know DPF should last ~250,000 miles? Prior to clean up unless it is damaged. mHkQcQA. 99 360 326 11 158 107 399 114 266
