Particulate Filter & Emission Services
Having issues with your particulate filter? You're not alone.
One of the most common issues on newer light duty diesel trucks is the emissions system. We are fully equipped to handle all emission related repairs including the removal of the exhaust filter itself for cleaning. Whether you're dealing with DEF related issues, speed limiting, or just a clogged filter we can get you back on the road with as little downtime as possible.
Getting it right the first time.
When it comes to cleaning the particulate filter itself we specifically use aftermarket machines designed to heat the filter overnight (No water, soap, or chemicals used). This is essentially the same practice the vehicle does on it's own just for a much longer period of time. We then weigh and ensure air flow to verify it's fully cleaned and ready to use.
Exhaust Filter Cleaning Process
Pre-Cleaning Inspection
All filters are initially weighed, tested for air flow, and then examined for internal breakage.
Air Cleaning
An initial air cleaning is performed, this process allows us to remove non-impacted and loose soot prior to placing it in our machines overnight.
Initial Cleaning
All filters are placed in our cleaning machines overnight. The machines will heat the filter up to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. This process allows us to loosen impacted soot that is deep within the honeycomb of the filter.
Final Air Cleaning
A second air cleaning is performed to remove the now loosened soot.
Final Inspection
A second inspection is performed to check the final weight, air flow, and any internal damages. At this point in the process we verify the minimum specifications from the factory, if the filter does not meet these specifications another cleaning is performed.
