Hot take: My coworker and I butted heads on diesel filter cleaning methods
Last week, a truck came in with a dirty particulate filter. He wanted to pull it and scrub it clean. I said just run a regen cycle and see if it clears up. We went back and forth, and I'm still not sure who was right. How do you guys handle these situations?

Butting heads over a particulate filter is classic shop humor! Your coworker's scrub method sounds like overkill for a simple regen fix, but hey, some folks love extra work. @nancys39 probably wonders why we care, but these little debates make the day fly by! I've seen regen cycles clear up mild buildup, but thick gunk demands a hands-on clean every time.

For that truck last week, did you check the soot load before picking a method? @nancys39 might think it's not a big deal, but imo knowing the buildup level changes everything.
