    😳     If there's any truth in this thread, than that means I'd have a NEPA accent. then when I said something, it'd....................uh.........well   anyway 

    And people from schuylkill county  just have a whole different language. 

  2. I see you’re from New Jersey. You don’t happen to be taking this truck to one of the Bergeys truck centers Jersey locations do you? When you had the dpf cleaned did you see what it looked liked before it was cleaned? Did they clean the doc? Go ahead and check all connections on exhaust and intake that you can. You may have an egr valve issue but we can worry about that later. 

  3. If it’s completing regens then all is good. It may be just where you’re driving at? Like stop and go….You mentioned in your last topic that when you took the turnpike home it did a passive regen. Passive regen is when the soot can be burned off through normal operating temps and steady driving speeds. No 7th injector needed. Only during active/parked regen.

    Here in PA its still readily available from many different sources. Eastern PA has the largest reserves of anthracite in the world I think. Western PA where I'm from is all bituminous which is all but dead due to pretty much all the coal fired power plants shutting down and that generation being transitioned to natural gas heat recovery steam generators. I burn anthracite from Eastern PA. Its trucked to local supply yards. I have a small dump trailer I can pull with my pickup truck I get it in and leave it tarped in my back yard. Then I shovel it into a wheelbarrow and leave the wheelbarrow in my unfinished basement near the stove. A full wheelbarrow will last about a week maybe a little more of continuous burning. There are no coal delivery trucks around my area anymore that I know of. Maybe out East where a lot more people still heat primarily with coal are there delivery services that will come and dump or auger it into your bunker. My house is a 1950s ranch house that was originally built with and still has a forced air natural gas furnace. It was never set up to have a coal chute but like you a lot of the older homes and buildings around here still have them. I don't usually mess with it since natural gas is dirt cheap all things considered but if the weather is going to be really cold and nasty for several days in a row I will fire it up for extra heat and comfort. Or if there is an extended power outage. It will easily heat my entire house on radiation and natural convection alone but it too has its drawbacks like anything most of which is cost right now. Coal followed pretty much every other energy source up to the rooftops lately. I think last year I paid $240/ton for chestnut size anthracite. I checked back in October and it was just over $400/ton at the closest suppler to me and that was for bulk tonnage like I get. If you want it in 40# bags its probably closer to $450/ton. Luckily I had about half a ton left over from last year. I haven't bought any this season and probably won't. I'll just sparingly burn up what I have and see if things settle down next fall......probably not lol. Probably be $550/ton by then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Ahhh reading anthracite company….also offer over 20,000 acres of the best offroading/atv/mx riding in america. Good old schuykill county….we def got it better over here on this side of the state 🤣
