Trucx Provides Professional Caterpillar DPF Cleaning Directly at Your Location
Caterpillar ACERT engines have a unique aftertreatment system that uses a dedicated Aftertreatment Regeneration Device (ARD) rather than the in-cylinder post-injection method used in other engines. This diesel fuel-fired burner injects fuel directly into the exhaust to burn off soot in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
However, if ARD components get clogged with carbon or fuel residue, regeneration fails, leading to soot buildup, increased exhaust restriction, and fault codes.
Complete Service: Our service includes this essential ECM verification and ash load reset to ensure your system recognizes that maintenance has been performed correctly.
Ignoring DPF maintenance can become extremely costly for Caterpillar equipment owners. Beyond the high price of replacement parts, which can exceed $12,000 for Cat C13 and C15 systems, the true financial impact includes operational losses.
While the recommended service interval is 5,000 hours, issues can arise much sooner. Scheduling professional Caterpillar DPF cleaning proactively helps avoid these expensive interruptions and the unnecessary replacement of parts.
Trucx dispatches fully equipped mobile service units directly to equipment yards, construction projects, quarries, mining operations, and industrial facilities in Brampton, Mississauga, Toronto, and across Canada. There is no need to transport machines off-site for service.
Our specialized process restores every major aftertreatment component in the proper sequence.
Every Caterpillar DPF cleaning service includes before-and-after diagnostics documenting:
Caterpillar is one of many diesel engine platforms Trucx services using the same mobile, no-disassembly process.
Running a mixed CAT and highway truck fleet? One dispatch can service every platform at your location.
Keep your CAT equipment running without an issue. Trucx provides complete ACERT aftertreatment service in as little as three hours.
Our mobile restoration includes ARD system service, DPF and DOC cleaning, SCR maintenance, EGR and turbocharger cleaning, and ECM ash reset verification. We also include a free diagnostic to prevent future downtime.
Don’t wait for E997 events or forced shutdowns to slow you down.
CAT ACERT engines utilize a dedicated Aftertreatment Regeneration Device (ARD) rather than relying solely on in-cylinder regeneration strategies. The ARD system requires specialized cleaning and verification procedures to ensure successful regeneration after service.
E997 indicates excessive DPF ash loading recorded by the engine ECM. It can appear at scheduled service intervals or earlier when operating conditions cause elevated ash accumulation. Professional cleaning and ECM reset procedures are required to clear the condition properly.
Yes. Caterpillar ECMs track DPF ash loading independently. Following service, the ash load parameter must be reset using CAT ET software. Without this step, E997 events can still be returned even after the filter has been cleaned successfully.
Absolutely. Trucx provides mobile service directly to mines, quarries, construction projects, industrial facilities, and equipment yards. Machines remain operationally accessible throughout the process without requiring transport.
DPF replacement costs commonly range between $5,000 and $12,000 or more, depending on the engine platform. Professional Caterpillar DPF cleaning restores performance at a fraction of the cost of replacement while extending component lifespan and reducing downtime.
