Forced Regen Service for Diesel Trucks
When your DPF fills with soot and the truck can't burn it off on its own, power drops and warning lights start stacking up. I-55 Truck & Trailer Repair performs forced regens at our shop on I-55 in Crawfordsville AR or wherever your truck is parked across Memphis & West Memphis. We clear the filter, check why it plugged in the first place, and get your engine back to full power.
Why Choose Us
Regens Done Right, Not Just Done Fast
Anyone can start a parked regen, but if the root cause is ignored, the DPF light will be back within days. Our ASE certified mechanics look beyond the filter to check sensors, injectors, and the EGR system that feed soot into your aftertreatment. With 25 years of diesel experience, we know the difference between a filter that needs a regen and one that needs cleaning or replacement. That saves you from paying for the same fix twice.
What We Offer
Our Forced Regen and DPF Regeneration Services
Every forced regen starts with a proper scan so we know exactly what's happening inside your aftertreatment system. From there, we run the regen at our shop or on-site and address any faults that caused the soot buildup. Here's what our forced regen service covers:
Mobile Forced Regens
Stuck at a truck stop or customer yard? We bring the diagnostic equipment to your truck and run the regen on-site.In-Shop Parked Regens
Drop your truck at our I-55 shop and we'll complete the regen in a controlled setting while checking the rest of the system.Soot Load and DPF Diagnostics
We read soot levels, pressure readings, and fault codes to confirm a regen is the right fix before we start.Sensor and Wiring Checks
Faulty differential pressure or temperature sensors can trigger false regen demands. We test and replace them when needed.Failed Regen Troubleshooting
If your truck won't complete a regen, we track down the reason, from low exhaust temperatures to injector or EGR problems.Post-Regen Verification
After the regen, we confirm soot levels dropped, codes are cleared, and your engine is running at full power again.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a forced regen?
A forced regen is a technician-started process that raises exhaust temperatures to burn trapped soot out of the diesel particulate filter (DPF). It's used when the truck's normal regeneration can't keep up.
How long does a forced regen take?
Most forced regens take under an hour, depending on the engine and how much soot has built up. We'll give you a time estimate once we scan the truck.
Why does my truck keep needing regens?
Frequent regens usually point to an underlying problem, such as a bad sensor, leaking injector, EGR issue, or excessive idling. We diagnose the cause so you're not coming back every week.
What happens if a regen doesn't fix the problem?
If the filter is packed with ash or damaged, a regen won't be enough. In that case, we'll recommend DPF cleaning or replacement and explain your options before any work begins.
Can you perform a forced regen at night or on weekends?
Yes. Our team is available 24/7, so you can call (870) 635-4003 any time for a forced regen at our shop or on the road.
