Ok. Taking that model off the table is the DPF reliable in any of their other models? Looking at a 2016 L3301 that has the same type filter/regeneration system as well.
Limited search has not resulted in the same level of red flags so was the issue more specific to the B3350 or the regeneration process itself?
They're very different.
The B3350 used mechanical injection. The L3301 is EFI. EFI allows better control of the regen. The 3350 has a small turbo engine. The L3301 has a larger naturally aspirated engine. Turbos are heat powered superchargers. They take heat from the exhaust to power the compressor turbine. That makes the post-turbo exhaust less hot so the DPF has a harder time maintaining temperature during regen. Many of the people with regen problems on the 3350 were operating in colder temperatures.
I'd stay away.
