Inspection to determine need of DPR replacement.
• Soot in tailpipe (any soot whatsoever is not allowable in tailpipe)
• Remove DPR disassemble and inspect.
• Replace center section, clean tail pipe, and reassemble DPR
• Replace temp sensors and reinstall DPR

Example of a DPR INLET loaded

soot and coagulated oily soot.
This DPR needs to be replaced
regardless of how the
outlet looks.

that would NOT NEED replacement.

The inlet grid will be black in color

with little-no soot build-up.

Example of a normal DPR OUTLET
