What is DPF?
DPF (diesel particulate filter) treats your truck's exhaust by trapping particulate matter which is basically soot and ash. Diesel particulate filters have been a crucial part of a truck's emissions system. DPF's capture approximately 90% of diesel particles and soot preventing them from being released through the exhaust system.
Benefits of a clean DPF include:
Cleaning
The DPF must be cleaned every 150,000 to 300,000 miles to remove the built up ash. The filter should also be cleaned if a fuel injector or turbo problem causes contamination with engine oil or non-combusted diesel. This contamination cause unwanted back pressure. Cleaning methods include air blasting, de-ionized water and a vacuum-like system. This must be done very carefully to avoid any damage to the filter. The particulate matter that is removed must be handled with extreme caution to ensure there is no exposure to the very fine contaminants.
DPF and Preventative Maintenance
The DPF is yet another component that must be tracked and maintained on a heavy duty truck. Ensuring regular preventative maintenance is performed on the DPF will do wonders in ensuring the long life of the DPF. Replacing air filters and fuel filters regularly along with using the correct type of oil for the engine will help prevent any unnecessary wear and potential damage with the DPF.

PERFECT PLACE TO GET SCAMMED. Nearly $500 for a leaky radiator hose, charged for 10 gallons of antifreeze when the truck was almost full of brand new antifreeze which I guess nobody bothered to save, 2 hours of labor when they changed the hose in 10 minutes and a serious attitude problem when we asked about the shady bill. The hose itself costs $35.00 at the local dealer....In the end we just wanted to pay our bill and be on our way but they refused to accept our credit card and insisted on cash payment, fearing a claim because of their shady services. Lost nearly 5 hours and had to get the local police involved so that they would accept a DEBIT card because our driver did not have enough cash on him. STAY AWAY.PERFECT PLACE TO GET SCAMMED.

Positive: ProfessionalismPaul was friendly and professional and the mechanic that came out to jump me was great and very helpful. I got a jump start at the J which was literally rt across the street! The charge was $125 which I think is outrageous but what really got me is the tax that was added on! Paul you might want to consider a more reasonable price for jump starts, no real labor is done and it took 10 minutes!! Sometimes you need to give a little to get a lot more business! I’m an o/o we all need to help each other out! I am thankful for your help but I doubt I’ll give you more of my business because if you charge that much for a jump start rt across the street, I can imagine what you prices are for any kind of real labor. Which I could be more positive but being overcharged is one of my pet peeves. Btw TA charges $44 for a jump start in there parking lot which is literally the same distance or less.Paul was friendly and professional and the mechanic that came out to jump me was great and very helpful.
