DPF Reinstall issues

jkidd_39 · Apr 9, 2012

Gotta put my DPF back in for a trip to the dealer. Got 4 injectors coming up bad. Need Mr. FoMoCo to cover the bill.

I have the truck all swapped but cannot find the nipple that goes on the DPF and has the rubber hose connected to it.

What does this little sensor do and can I limp the truck 5 miles to the dealership without it installed on my DPF??

Thanks guys!

That is the pressure sensor, it'll throw a code and limp without it. That sensor is expensive to get from Ford if it needs replaced.

This is true! Very spendy lil unit.
Also found out if your not careful that plastic nipple connected to the actual sensor will break with ease.

I have the sensor.. I just don't have the threaded nipple that goes in the actual DPF.. If someone knows the size and pitch i'm sure me and the fastenal store can make something

You can use an air fitting if you have an air compressor. Same threads.

It is a pretty pricey lil "fitting" from the dealer, but cheaper than 4 injectors, that's for sure......may just want to spring for it

The nipple you are talking about feeds the pressure sensor. It's about $90 bucks from ford. It is special material to handle the 1200-1300 temp from regen.
