Fewer Repairs, Less Downtime

Anyone who has ever owned a vehicle knows that you can either face major (and pricey) malfunctions or you can just as easily be nickel and dimed to death on the little stuff.

It’s no different for a big rig.

These days with freight rates being on the low side, it’s necessary to maximize the use of the equipment. The truck owner cannot afford downtime. Luckily with Peterbilt trucks and engines, you no longer have to worry about these issues because they have reliable engines and DPF parts to help your vehicle lasts for long years of use.

But of course, that also means you have to take extra care of your DPF. here’s how…

Why Should You Have Your DPF/DOC Cleaned?

When left uncleaned, soot and ash will collect and could damage or destroy your filter. While soot and ash burn off as quickly as it accumulates when driving under load, it tends to accumulate and stay when idling or driving through slow-moving traffic.

A few key indicators that it is time for professional cleaning are a loss in engine performance or an increase in frequency in regeneration cycles. With regular DPF cleanings you could see the following:

• Increased fuel efficiency
• Extended filter life
• Higher resale value if you decide to sell your truck at some point

A dirty filter may not sound like it could cause a lot of damage if left unattended, you’d be surprised by how costly it could be. This makes cleaning a necessary part of maintenance. When you factor in that replacements cost about $3,000, if not more, plus the cost of unexpected downtime, neglecting this relatively simple process could greatly affect your bottom line.
