The EGR and DPF system in your heavy-duty truck work together as part of your emissions system to limit the output of harmful exhaust.
An Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is a valve that also reduces emissions. It works by circulating part of the exhaust gas back to the engine’s cylinders. This prevents DPF failure because it sends gases away from the engine, making it run more efficiently. The main goal of an EGR is to reduce the amount of nitrous oxide running through the exhaust system.
A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a part of the exhaust of your truck that collects soot to keep the air clean. It captures particles in a mesh net and reduces harmful emissions.
Your truck’s EGR and DPF systems are essential components for proper engine emission control. Regular maintenance is important to assure correct engine function and proper emission compliance. Although they do reduce emissions, these systems often put a strain on your engine and, especially if not maintained, can reduce the lifespan of your diesel truck.
How to tell if your EGR and/or DPF systems are blocked
The EGR can become clogged and get stuck open or closed and your DPF system can quickly become clogged. Diesel trucks and their emissions control systems are designed for heavy towing at long distances. So, if you're using your diesel truck as a grocery-getter, you'll likely run into emission control system problems.
You'll know your DPF is blocked when an orange light appears on your dashboard (it will look like smoke blowing through a filter). But why wait until it’s completely clogged? When dealing with a clogged EGR or DPF, cleaning is an essential service. The service technicians at Schroeder Truck Repair are experienced in EGR and DPF repairs, maintenance and cleaning. Our technicians provide a detailed, quality cleaning and repair service for your EGR and DPF.

I'm very satisfied with the work done on F250 brake system here. My brakes were a disaster, and since I was traveling through Denver with my slide-in camper in the bed, I had to take it to a semi shop. These guys did a timely and thorough repair job, and were kind to work on my truck even though it's not a "big truck". The price was good and I will 100% be back should the occasion arise. On top of being skilled & professional, they were also friendly and easy to work with.
We use Schroeder Truck to maintain our companies fleet including light truck and yellow iron. Our company is in a remote area in the plains making it hard to get service. Phil and Joey take great care of our units keeping them operating and maintained. They are flexible to try and get to us quickly if a machine goes down. I highly recommend them as a mobile repair team.
They have always provided dependable and reliable repairs. Car haulers dream shop. Welding, fabrication, mechanical, hydraulic...all under 1 roof. Staff is very knowledgeable and courteous. I will continue to rely on their expertise. Great place
Did great work replacing the glow plugs, harnesses, rellay on my skoolie. They don’t always work on international but I knew what I wanted done and they were happy to oblige. Everyone there was welcoming and friendly. And a solid rate for Denver. Would definitely return
I've been using Schroeder's since 2010.My 2016 peterbilt had 95% of all repairs done here. I bought the truck new in 2015 it has 735,000 on it. They do all the work on my 2023 peterbilt also. They also do all my trailer repairs as my trucks are car haulers.Top notch service, excellent staff and good people that stand behind their work. They have gone above and beyond for me numerous times and I know they would for you too. Thanks for all you do! Great job for a really long time.
Great experience at a bad moment. They took our truck in their shop right after arrival, diagnosed bad batteries and lose wire on the alternator that was causing battery overcharge.They already had the right batteries, replaced them and it took them 1h45min together with diagnostics and replacement. The charge was fair as well. I wish every shop was like them. Right on point, great feedback and organized.We didnt even had to cancel our reload. We loaded on time and kept trucking. Two thumbs up!
