Thanks. I hope the dealer will tune it back to factory if that is the case. I'm wondering if the shortage in filters is because many are having to be replaced.It depends on how the truck is driven, but under 'normal' operation then no the DPF shouldn't need to be replaced. In order to clog it up, you'd have to make lots of short trips and never let it complete a regen cycle. I wouldn't think a '22 with 37k on it would have been run like that though. Perhaps someone tuned it to remove the regen cycles?
I was aware that multiple short trips were not good for diesel but I make a trip of about 60 miles, mostly highway, once or twice a week. I'd figure that either the 60 miles down or 60 back would be sufficient to clean it out weekly.
Perhaps it is just a defective filter?
Would really like to hear something, other than "there is a delay in shipping, we appreciate your patience" from Ram.
