i think my dpf is toast - and its screwing with the rest of the truck. i am dumping way too much smoke, from idle through acceleration on a stock program. i had a reflash done a month ago that was supposed to help this, but its only gotten worse. plus, ive lost 2 mpg, which is killer when you drive the truck almost every day.

man dont need to tell me 'bout the mpg...and the rising cost...cripes
i had to do a quick run to austin <for a 2hr meeting...who comes up
w/ this crap>...cost me 50 bucks round trip (even at 2.70 per gallon).

i was sitting next to a 6.4 at the light the other day...damm thing
puff'd a couple of good rounds of BLACK smoke waiting for the light
to change...i figured it was goin' thru its burn cycle...
