If your Ford van or truck is showing DPF warning lights, we restore filter performance in under 60 minutes using our hydraulic cleaning process. No dealer. No replacement. Just a clean filter that works like new.
Every Ford diesel truck, van, or passenger car has a diesel particulate filter that captures soot from the exhaust before it reaches the air. When that filter becomes clogged from short trips and city driving, your Ford will warn you in stages.
1
Your DPF is around 45% blocked. The engine is trying to burn off soot during active regeneration, but short city trips are preventing it from completing. A 20-minute motorway drive at 60 mph or more may clear it. If it is not clear after one attempt, call us right away.
2
Both warning lights on together means the ECU has logged fault codes like P2002 and P2463. Forced regeneration has failed. At this point your Ford DPF filter cleaning needs professional attention and a hydraulic clean is the only reliable fix. Do not delay.
3
Engine power has been cut to protect the turbocharger and surrounding components from damage caused by excessive back pressure. Stop driving immediately and contact us. Continuing to drive at this stage risks expensive engine damage that goes far beyond the DPF itself.
From the 6.7 Powerstroke in heavy-duty trucks to the compact diesel in a Focus, we have worked on every Ford DPF configuration there is. Our technicians understand the nuances of each engine variant and know exactly how to restore your filter without guesswork.

If you are dealing with a Ford Transit DPF warning light, timely cleaning can help you avoid expensive dealer replacements.
Every Ford DPF we clean goes through the same four-step process. Nothing is skipped, nothing is rushed. This is why we can back every clean with a three-month guarantee.

Walk into our Clarksboro, NJ shop with no appointment needed. Or remove your DPF and ship it to us. We confirm receipt the same day and get your filter into the queue immediately.

We read all stored fault codes, check soot and ash load levels, and test the pressure differential sensor before we do anything else. No guesswork means no surprises.

Unlike oven baking which takes 12 or more hours and risks cracking the ceramic substrate, our hydraulic method is faster, safer, and reaches areas other cleaning approaches miss entirely.

An air flush, flow test, and full functionality check confirm your filter is performing like new. Every Ford DPF we clean comes backed by our three-month performance guarantee.

There are plenty of shops that will clean a DPF. There are very few that understand Ford diesel systems at the level we do. Here is what separates our service from everything else out there.
Oven Baking Baking in an oven takes 12 or more hours and carries a real risk of cracking your ceramic DPF substrate. Our hydraulic process is faster, safer, and cleans deep into cell walls that air knife methods completely miss.
Compared to Dealer Replacement Ford dealers typically push you toward a full filter replacement costing $1,800 or more. We restore almost every blocked filter for a fraction of that price and back it with a three-month guarantee.
Going Back to the Early 2000s We started with heavy freight and grew into DPF servicing as Ford and other manufacturers started fitting DOC and DPF combinations to their diesel lineup. We understand Ford emission systems inside and out.

At Stage 1, a short motorway drive at 60 mph or more may clear the warning. At Stage 2 where both the DPF and engine management lights are on, stop driving and contact us immediately. At Stage 3 where limp mode has engaged, pull over safely and call us before moving the vehicle again. Continued driving at Stages 2 and 3 risks turbo and engine damage.
A professional hydraulic clean removes the accumulated soot and ash that is blocking your filter and restores it to near-original flow performance. A replacement means installing a brand-new filter at a cost of $1,800 or more from the dealer. We can restore almost every clogged Ford DPF filter, and cleaning should always be the first step before considering any replacement.
The most common reason is a driving pattern that consists mainly of short city trips and stop-start traffic. This does not give the engine enough sustained temperature to complete active regeneration. Regular cleaning every 6 to 8 months and occasional longer drives at highway speed help prevent heavy buildup. We can also check whether a faulty temperature sensor or pressure differential sensor is causing false warnings.
Yes. The 6.4 Powerstroke has a well-known tendency toward high ash accumulation and some configurations run a dual DPF setup. We handle both and check EGR valve interaction as part of the diagnostic before cleaning. This is one of the engines we have the most experience with and our hydraulic process is ideally suited to it.
Most Ford DPF filters are cleaned in under 30 minutes in our shop. From the moment you drop off to the moment you drive away with a cleared filter and no warning lights, the entire process typically takes under 60 minutes. Mail-in customers have their filter shipped back to them the same day we receive it.
No. Installing a delete kit on a vehicle driven on public roads in the United States is a federal emissions violation under the Clean Air Act. It voids your warranty, causes automatic failure on any emissions inspection, and carries significant financial penalties. Professional ford dpf cleaning is the legal, cost-effective, and mechanically correct solution to a blocked filter.
Every Ford DPF filter we clean is covered by our three-month performance guarantee. If the filter-related warning returns due to a cleaning issue within that period, we address it at no additional charge. We stand fully behind our hydraulic process and the results it delivers.
Walk-ins are always welcome. If you’re on a tight schedule, call ahead and we’ll prioritize your order to get you in and out as fast as possible.
We’ll get back to you within 1 business hour.
