Clean the DPF like big trucks do?

Can we clean the dpf filter like we do on the big trucks?

Technically, yes. It may be harder to get to than on the big trucks.

Pretty easy to get to on mine. You can use 1 part pool acid and 4 parts water and soak for 20 minutes then rinse well. Should remove all the ash..... Soot will turn to ash during regen. Not sure if I would do the DOC (burner) the way, but it should be OK

It's right on top, should be easier than plug#8 on a chevy with AC.

I'll use the same stuff I use on the Detroit. I clean it every 250,000miles and have had no emissions related issues in 1.4million miles.

I just didn't know if was the honeycomb design the truck has or something else.

Same thing..... as far as I know in my 3135

ON mine the DPF is easy the DOC is in just before the DPF and it look like you have to pull the pipe from the turbo to get it out. DOC has a diesel burner to heat the whole thing. SO you have a fuel line and an igniter in that section.

I remember those days.
