Yeah - that is EXACTLY what I have read over the years, and mirrors my experience....

EGR & DPF systems are mostly separate from each other. EGR is used to cool cylinder temps to reduce oxides of nitrogen production. The DPF system with or without urea is is used to reduce particulates in the exhaust. both systems are strictly used to please the tree hugger crowd & both lower your mpg especially the DPF.
What should I be looking at doing to the truck, DPF delete with a tuner?
Anyhting else I should do to make it a trouble free ride??
Thanks,
mike

Vette,
I sent you pm, not sure if it went through though.
Where is the best spot to put the small micron fuel filter, and what type of filter.
Can you get the dpf, egr delete kit from one source, and what's the best tune.
Sorry to highjack.

I have a 07 Ford F 350 diesel dually, we tow our 38 ft Cigarette from Nj. To FlA, every winter, so we change our oil every trip which is about 3,000 miles, I use Motorcraft oil, the truck has 40,000 miles on it, it has never burned a qt of oil
