DPF Light on.

[MattMcF]

Ok so last week my DPF light came on so I took it and had it scanned and they said it needed a new DPF system put in. After they installed that it was fine. Now today as I'm driving it the DPF light comes and it goes into safety mode. I checked the DEF and it's full so I know it can't be because it's low.

Is there any way I can shut this off without taking it to the dealer.

Any help would be appreciated.

You still on warranty? If so take it back if not just get rid of it all

 

[MAXX IT OUT]

EFI live auto cal from PPEI or a H&S Mini Max or XRT pro is your best bet if your wanting a DPF deleted.

I still have warranty so I don't want to delete it just yet.

To be honest, if you even flash the truck to extended the thresholds to keep the light less likely from coming on, you will lose your warranty.

About the only option you have if warranty is a concern is to truly just bring it back in to the dealer.

Kind of had a feeling it would be my only option but I just didn't know if there was something else I could do.

I am considering putting EFI live on it in the near future but I have concerns about it and don't want just anyone working on my truck. Honestly I'd rather do it myself then take it somewhere.

You can easily do it all yourself!

I didn't know how complicated it would be.

Not at all

That's good to know then. Cause that was one of the things holding me back.

Hardest part I ran into when I did efi om my lbz was installing the guages

I see. Well I'll probably have gauges put in prior to even doing EFI. What gauges do you have?
I plan on doing boost, EGT, and fuel pressure.

do a cts monitor much better

Not trying to argue your point but what makes you say that? I was considering doing the gauges, efi live, then a monitor.

 

[DIESELMAFIAPER.LB7]

can watch egts rail pressure boost mm read and clear codes data logs keeps peak boost egts speed engine temp ect just does many things and for 400 bucks cant beat it its a great monitor can also add external sensor to it

I've heard some things that Edge products are bad on trannys.

 

[DIESELMAFIAPER.LB7]

no its just the monitor you still use efi live lol!

Ok just making sure we were both talking about just the monitor. I actually looked up and efi live system for $900 so I wouldn't have that much tied up in it.

I have just a boost and Pyro unless your getting crazy with the truck I feel that's all you need to start off with guages and some efi. I have a Xrt pro and have had it since under 5000 miles if I remember correctly. I will sell the Xrt pro for efi soon as I scrape together some cash. I just didn't want the giant monitor I'm my truck so guages is what I stayed with

 

[MattMcF]

Well I thought about doing the monitor for now then efi. And eventually gauges.
