Our EGR & DPF Services for Heavy-Duty Trucks in Kentucky:
Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) Explained
Your DPF is designed to capture the soot and carbon produced by your heavy-duty engine. The component is integrated directly into your exhaust system and, as such, ensures that all of your emissions are treated before they exit your truck. Although DPFs can capture an extensive amount of soot, their storage is still finite. Most manufacturers recommend getting your DPF cleaned once every few years, but if you use your truck for something more intensive than the average driver would, your DPF may need to be cleaned sooner. Mac’s Diesel & Trailer Repair offers regeneration services for customers in and around Sadieville, Kentucky on a mobile basis.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Explained
Ever wonder how your engine’s production of NOx is regulated? Well, that’s what your EGR system is for! Your EGR system cools your spent exhaust gas and sends it back into your combustion chamber. This influx of cool exhaust lowers your engine’s combustion temperature, and in succession, lowers the amount of NOx produced. This process is facilitated by an EGR valve and an EGR cooler.
After-treatment Issues
Is there a check engine light flashing on your dashboard? Check engine lights can be set off by a wide variety of issues, but in some cases, they can be an indicator of an aftertreatment system issue. Anything from a clogged DPF to a busted EGR valve will set off your check engine light. As such, it’s critical that you get your truck serviced the moment this light appears. Failing to do so could cost you thousands of dollars worth of repairs. At Mac’s Diesel & Trailer Repair, we’re all about fixing trucks and saving our customers money.
