I'd pay $3??.00 if they could prove to me they were getting my complete system inside the filters to the engine cleaned. Just an FYI.
What would concern me, is that IF you had this done, it would push all contaminates THROUGH the injectors and into the engine! If I were concerned enough, I'd pull the rail off, lines off, and injectors out to all be disassembled and cleaned. NOT a flush! Just my opinion FWIW.

Oh, I agree totally! IF they took the system apart to clean it, it would be worth the money, a FLUSH would force everything into the injectors it seems. My whole point to adding to this thread is when I pulled my sensor out it was not clean at all even w/ really good filtration.

Dodge would have some sort of a bulletin or part addendum that they could print if Cummins or Dodge engineers felt it was necessary. And IF it was necessary, warranty would pay for it!
I'm sure warranty would never pay for it, because they'd be blaming you for buying bad fuel.

I'd be concerned about the CP3.......the only place that the metal could have come from - after the filters!
