Truck Is in Derate
Reduced power, 5 MPH limp mode, or won't crank. Usually a high soot load, DEF quality fault, or a NOx sensor — we read the cause and clear it the right way.

What's Included
Full Aftertreatment Service
DPF, DOC, SCR, DEF, EGR — it's one system. We service the whole thing so the truck stays in regen and out of derate.
- Full aftertreatment scan — active and history codes across all modules
- DPF removal, cleaning (bake-and-blow), and reinstall
- DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst) inspection and replacement
- Forced regen using the OEM scanner
- EGR cooler, valve, and actuator service and replacement
- SCR system service — DEF doser, lines, and NOx sensors
- DEF quality test and tank/heater service
- Exhaust pressure and temperature sensor diagnosis
- 7th injector (HC doser) inspection and replacement
- Turbo and intake check (when poor regen is upstream)
- Post-repair regen and road test to confirm soot loading clears
A note: We don't delete or disable emissions equipment. Removing or tampering with DPF, SCR, or EGR is illegal in Ontario, fails MTO inspection, and voids your engine warranty. We fix the system so it works the way it's supposed to.
Common Issues
Symptoms We Fix Every Week
Emissions faults usually start small. Caught early, most are a sensor or a cleaning — left alone, they end in a derate and a tow.
Regen Won't Complete
Forced regen aborts, soot keeps climbing, exhaust temps won't get to target. Could be the 7th injector, sensors, intake leak, or a plugged DPF.
Plugged DPF
High back-pressure, frequent regens, lost fuel economy. We remove and bake the filter, inspect the substrate, and reinstall with new gaskets.
EGR Faults & Surging
Sluggish power, EGR codes, or rough idle. Sticking valves, plugged coolers, and bad actuators all cause it — we service or replace.
DEF System Faults
Bad DEF quality, crystallization on the doser, or a frozen DEF line in winter. We test, clean, and repair the dosing side.
Check-Engine Light, No Symptoms
Light on but truck runs okay. Pending fault — we read it before it turns into a derate or a roadside inspection fail.
Our Process
Diagnose the Cause, Not the Code
Four steps from check-engine light to clean regen.
-
01
Scan
Full aftertreatment scan with the OEM scanner — active, pending, and history codes. We look upstream, not just at the obvious code.
-
02
Quote
Clear estimate — cleaning, sensor, doser, EGR, or full DPF — before any wrench turns. You decide what's getting done.
-
03
Repair
DPF baked and blown out, parts replaced to spec, sealing surfaces cleaned. Done right, the system holds for the long haul.
-
04
Regen & Test
Forced regen, soot-load reset, and a road test to confirm the system completes a full cycle before you leave.

FAQ
DPF & Emissions — Quick Answers
Will you delete my DPF or EGR?
No. Deleting or disabling emissions equipment is illegal in Ontario, fails MTO inspection, voids your engine warranty, and turns the truck into a problem if you ever try to sell it. We fix the system properly so you don't need to.
How often should a DPF be cleaned?
Depends on duty cycle, but most highway trucks need a proper bake-and-blow cleaning somewhere around 200,000–400,000 km. City work and short trips wear it faster. We measure the back-pressure and tell you where you stand.
My truck is in derate — can you get me running?
Most of the time, yes. We scan, identify the root cause, and either complete a forced regen, replace the failed sensor or part, or clean the DPF — whatever it actually needs. We don't just clear codes and send you out to break down again.
Do you work on Cummins, DD, MX, Volvo, and ISX aftertreatment?
Yes — all the common heavy-duty diesel platforms: Cummins ISX/X15, Detroit DD13/15, PACCAR MX-11/13, Volvo D11/D13, and Mack MP. If it has a DPF and DEF, we work on it.
How long does a DPF cleaning take?
Usually 1–2 days when we send the filter out for proper bake-and-blow cleaning. Sensor and EGR repairs are often same day. You'll get a firm timeline with the quote.
