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.

Traveling across the country in our our classic Airstream motor home, the engine starting running rough as we approached Memphis. No one would take us in, not even the Chevrolet dealerships because "our mechanics don't have the experience working on anything over 10 years old" and "if they can't plug it into the computer, they won't know what's wrong with it." Expanding our search to include Mississippi, we stumbled on Angel's. Paul, the owner, made immediate room for us and his staff had the vacuum issue diagnosed and resolved within minutes. We had no issues with the service or the cost.Traveling across the country in our our classic Airstream motor home, the engine starting running rough as we approached Memphis.
