I'm pretty sure most companies have "Company Owned Trucks". Everyone here has seen the tuned up truck at SEMA. It was a 6.7L and that was in November

Okay, stupid question, what's a DPF?

vzdude

Diesel Particulate Filter ( kind of like a catalytic converter for diesels)

qzilla

Not really a converter. It is an actual high temp 2 micron filter that sits downstream of an actual catlytic converter.

THanks.
The new Powerjokes, Gm's have them too?

qzilla

Uh huh! Unfortunately!

vzdude

qzilla, does it still "burn" off like the cat does? Using a catalyst to create heat to get rid of the particles? I know the talk about it regenerating? Adding fuel to make it "burn" if I understand it correctly. By the way, I would love to test anything you have! ( I know that is a whole different post, sorry! )Truck is still pretty stock, but wanting to play! Drive a LOT of miles every year, soooooo? Hook me up!

qzilla

Well the CAT does not really need to burn off.

What a cat does is heat the exhaust so that it reduces the particles. Now that is simply not enough for the emissions requirements so they added a very fancy filter behind the cat. The problem with any filter is that they finally get clogged up or less efficient. The only way to clean the DPF is through heat and that is what the regeneration is for.

What's one of these things look like?

I LOVE IT!!!
Someone throwing the BS flag on Bully Dog!
boy I could tell you stories........................

I don't know what everyone has against Bully Dog, I've had no problems at all. People complain about customer service, I call and am talking to a guy who seems to know what he;s talkin about in no time, very helpful...

BTW, 2.3.9 will be out soon and it will have a fix for the daytime running lights.

Coming soon being able to adjust for tire size, cool!
(yah I know, just like a Smarty)
