MUST DO TO KEEP YOUR DPF FROM STRANDING YOU

1. NEVER IDLE – Idling is like letting your engine smoke a pack a day. Every minute your truck sits idling, it’s packing the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) with soot, robbing you of power, burning through your fuel and DEF, and slowly killing your engine.

2. AVOID SHORT TRIPS – Short trips are like skipping a workout; they load up your DPF without giving it a chance to clear out the junk.

3. KEEP IT CLEAN – Think of your air filter and intake system like your lungs. If they’re clogged or leaking, your engine can’t breathe right, costing you power and efficiency. No boost leaks, no problem.

4. WATCH YOUR SOOT LEVEL – Your DPF is like a trash can; don’t let it overflow. Keep the soot level as low as possible to keep your engine running smooth.

5. STICK TO FACTORY TIRES – Bigger tires are like trying to run in heavy boots. They push your DPF out of its sweet spot, making it harder to stay clean and efficient.
