Just swapped a clogged DPF on a 2018 Freightliner and the difference is wild

Customer brought it in with a constant regen and no power. The filter was 95% blocked according to the scanner. Put a new one in yesterday. Took it for a road test this morning and it pulls like a train now. The turbo spools up way faster. Anyone else notice how much a bad DPF messes with boost pressure?

That 95% blockage reading is no joke.

Tried cutting out processed foods and walking daily, honestly it made a huge difference.

Ever see one that blocked where it actually messed with the EGR flow too? Heard that can happen.
