Spot Truck EGR & DPF Service in Twin City, GA

EGR Spot Truck Systems

Why Is an EGR Important?

The EGR system in your spot truck helps reduce harmful emissions and improve fuel efficiency. It works by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gas back into the engine's combustion chamber. This reduces the amount of oxygen in the chamber, which lowers the combustion temperature and minimizes the formation of harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx). It is generally recommended to have the EGR system inspected and serviced every 50,000 to 75,000 miles.

Signs of Spot Truck EGR Failure

Being able to recognize EGR system failures will go a long way in helping to improve your vehicle's performance and prevent small issues from developing into expensive problems. Signs of failure include: 

• The check engine light is illuminated on your dashboard
• Reduced vehicle performance
  (Decrease in engine power, sluggish acceleration, poor fuel efficiency)
• An unstable or rough idle when the engine is at a standstill
• Increased Exhaust Smoke 

If your spot truck is experiencing any of these, then it is essential to visit our team at Webb Brothers Services, 3728 Highway 80, Twin City, GA, 30471, immediately for a critical EGR inspection and service. 

Spot Truck DPF Systems

Why Is a DPF Important?

The Diesel Particulate Filter’s, (DPF) primary function is to trap and remove particulate matter (PM) from the exhaust gases produced by the engine. By capturing harmful particles, the DPF helps reduce emissions and ensure compliance with environmental regulations set by the EPA. It is recommended to have the DPF inspected and serviced every 100,000 to 150,000 miles.

It is a legal requirement for certain vehicles in the US to be fitted with a DPF system. Removing or disabling your spot truck’s DPF could result in fines of up to $45,268 per noncompliant vehicle/engine.

Signs of Spot Truck DPF Failure

Recognizing signs of DPF failure is essential to addressing issues before they escalate. Here are some common indicators of spot truck DPF problems:

• More than usual regeneration cycles
• Warning Lights illuminated on your dashboard
  (DPF light or check engine light)
• Reduced Engine Power
• Increased Exhaust Smoke
  (Especially black or gray)

If you notice any of these in your spot truck, then it requires an immediate inspection and service from our skilled mechanics at Webb Brothers Services, 3728 Highway 80, Twin City, GA, 30471.

Forced Regeneration

A common tactic that our team will use to resolve a clogged DPF system is forced regeneration, where PM is burned off of the DPF. Regeneration occurs naturally in your vehicle, but sometimes the clogging is so severe that it requires a manual override of the truck’s systems to raise the temperature of the exhaust even higher in order to fully remove all of the PM.
