hey guys i have the spartan on 150 dpf on right now and i put a dpf back mbrp exhaust on it and when im driving around i can see my exaust just like hazing black smoke not alot but noticable when driving normal is this normal on this tune? i know the regen isnt as often so maybe its just more soot? thanks guys!!!

Your title says it........Cracked DPF. Spartan claims there should not be any additional regens with their DPF on tunes.

ive seen cleaning exhaust filter pop up twice since i installed my tuner???

I don't believe a cracked DPF affects the regen that much. Check your pipes. If there is black soot in them, remove the tune, take it to the dealer. The DPF is a 1500.00 item and is covered by the 100,000 mile warranty.

my exhaust tip is black inside for sure. will it hurt the motor like this?

just do a dpf delete on it

im just not sure how risky it is in ny and i dont wanna get caught lol..

[jethro]

tell em you got a bad turbo boot if a local yocal pulls ya over they usually don't know diddly about diesels

What ever you do I would get the DPF replaced. When you sell the truck a new DPF could be a selling point. It should not harm the engine.

ok cool i will def look into bringing it in. i might do a dpf delete also but still on the fence i dont really wanna be caught with it missing that could be pretty badd.. thanks for ur guys input!!
