2016 DPF issues fixed?

emulator is ILLEGAL to use and VOIDS Kubota warranty

I wouldn't care if it is legal or not. If it fixes the problem I would use it. Also, how do you know it is illegal? I think you are assuming that this emulator is somehow defeating the emission control. It sounds to me like it is correcting a sensor input and allowing the DPF cycle to complete correctly.

Nope.

The emulator allows one to remove the DPF by emulating signals from the sensors in the now removed DPF to allow the ECM to continue to function as if the DPF remains in place but never needs a regeneration process.

It is indeed illegal.

This has been thoroughly documented previously, herein more than likely in one or more of the threads to which the emulator manufacturer has recently responded.

May be illegal in the US and Canada but it may be legal in other countries. Also, it may allow for DPF removal but the way I read it, the emulator allows for the DPF to remain in place.

the device mearly fools the computer.....
hmm. so.. what happens when the DPF is jammed full of 'soot' ? WAAAY jammed FULL ??

not going too deep....

basically anything that tampers with emissions is basically illegal. Remember emissions is a blanket term that covers the chemicals that are emitted out of the tailpipe as well as the noise that is emitted.

Bingo.

DPF must be removed or it will quickly clog absent regeneration.

re: DPF must be removed
thanks, had a feeling it had to be.One of the 'Gold Rush teams' did that to a brand new diesel water pump unit as it kept going into regen,though they didn't explain in detail, They 'replumbed' it,fudged the computer and went about pumping zillion GPM to get the gold... I bet the MFR who gave them the pump weren't too impressed that the world saw their pump being 'bodged' !
So can I assume a really,really clogged DPF will damage the engine 'somehow' ? Does someone make 'flow thru adapters' like they have for 'CAT free' exhausts ??? er... 'test pipes'........
