Description of the problem	Driving on interstate in the middle of nowhere when truck began to surge. System information stated catalyst at 70% with in 5minutes catalyst at 100%. Went to dodge dealer who was not a authorized service rep. They could not replace filter so they cleared the code and set the dpf to regenerate. This cost $80. 00. Went to local dealer next day and because code would not appear again the set the dpf to regenerate. This cost $80. 00. On 1-12-2010 while pulling a 32 foot flat bed trailer in the middle of nowhere again, the system info went to catalyst 70%. The local dealer had informed us in order to get the dpf to go into regenerate mode need to get the engine temperature up to 215. Put the truck in 4th gear and drove 85mph for 50 miles before the regenerate mode kicked in. Rest of 500 mile trip went fine. On 1-27-2010 while driving in the middle of nowhere everything happened again. Called dealer since was only 50 miles away. Drove straight to dealer and they finally replaced the dpf filter. It is just march so will see what happens. New filter would have cost us $2000. 00. If not covered under warrant. Wish i could get back the $160. 00.
