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.

A buddy of mine recommended this shop. What I appreciate about this shop is that they actually take reservations for work. Many shops have gone to a first come first serve, which in my business does not work. My truck has to be on the road and working. They were able to schedule me, get me in evaluate the issues get parts and get my truck out in a single day. Great service, friendly staff and quality work. I will return to the shop for any other issues my truck has.
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!

Everything went well. Everything was done in a timely manner. Excellent customer service. Melissa kept me updated with everything that was going on.
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
As a car hauler I come in and get my semi repairs done when necessary. Best part is the friendly staff David and Nicki that take care of all the needs and constantly make sure that im running fine tuned and ready.
