Your heavy-duty truck's emissions system is a delicate balance of technology and performance. The EGR valve and the DPF system work together to keep the air clean and your engine running smoothly. The EGR redirects exhaust gas into your engine and reduces NOx emissions, while the DPF captures harmful particulates in a mesh net. This system draws in partially burned or unburned fuel from the exhaust before releasing it into the environment, then redirects it back into the engine to complete combustion.
Today’s diesel trucks integrate powerful EGR systems that effectively control emissions. While some boast self-cleaning DPFs, others require a helping hand from a trusted service provider for regular maintenance. Without proper care, these systems can affect the longevity of your heavy-duty diesel truck or fleet.
Stuck EGR Valve
Exhaust fumes can flow in the wrong direction due to carbon buildup around the gaskets of your EGR system. This can cause the valve responsible for controlling the flow of exhaust fumes to become wedged open. The result is a flood of exhaust flowing into your combustion chamber, dropping operating temperatures and leading to performance and reliability problems.
Blocked EGR & DPF Systems
Your diesel truck is built to handle heavy loads and long hauls, but a high frequency of intense use can take a toll on its emissions control systems. In this situation, the EGR and DPF become clogged with soot, resulting in greater fuel consumption and reduced performance. Also, be on the lookout for an orange light resembling smoke blowing through a filter on your dashboard - it's an indication of a blocked DPF.
Services
Your heavy-duty’s truck EGR coolers are the backbone of the emissions reduction system, working behind the scenes to ensure an uninterrupted ride. However, soot will always end up clogging even the best coolers, which can hinder gas flow. Or, they can develop fractures from the constant pressure and thermal cycling. At Top Flight, our mechanics are experts at cleaning and replacing them, giving your truck a boost in power and fuel economy.
As part of our cleaning service, we leverage extreme airflow and pressure to eliminate dirt and debris from the DPF filter for optimal recovery. If we happen to uncover any internal damage that can't be fixed easily, we'll recommend a replacement - but only as a last resort.
