Stop Guessing at Your Dash: Why DPF Issues are Rarely the Root Cause

Описание: If you’ve seen your dashboard light up with a DPF code, you might be tempted to blame the filter. But after cleaning thousands of filters at DPF Guys, we’ve learned one thing: a failed or plugged DPF is almost always a symptom, not the root cause. When something goes wrong upstream in the engine—like a sticky valve or a worn fuel filter—your engine stops burning diesel efficiently. That extra soot has nowhere to go but your DPF, turning a simple maintenance item into a potential breakdown.

In this session, we also cover:

The APU Advantage: Why fixing your "busted" auxiliary power unit is the fastest way to save your main engine from unnecessary idling.

The 500,000-Mile Rule: Why skipping your overhead valve adjustment can lead to dropped compression and cracked filters.

Oil Sampling: How your truck’s "blood work" can spot a catastrophic failure before it leaves you stranded.

Passive vs. Parked Regens: Understanding when to let the truck handle it on the highway and when it’s truly time to take out the trash.

We have had great success with a top-rated fuel additive like Clean Air Fleet. We recommend it as cheap insurance for your engine. It helps ensure proper fuel atomization, which reduces the amount of soot your engine produces and keeps you on the road longer between cleanings.
