there are a few things you can try:
Perform a Forced Regeneration, Check for Exhaust Leaks, Verify Sensors and Wiring, Verify DPF Replacement, and use Diagnostic Tools such as an OBD II reader.

Hello there Lupe!
It's concerning dealing with that pesky check engine light, especially when your Dodge Ram 3500 is running just fine. If you've swapped out all the DPF (diesel particulate filter) components and the code won't reset, it might be time for a deeper dive.
First off, make sure the replacement parts are good quality and compatible. Sometimes, even new parts can be faulty. Double-check the connections and ensure everything is snug.
Now, the dealer suggestion on the code might be worth considering. They have the nifty diagnostic tools to pinpoint issues. The check engine light could be signaling something beyond the DPF system, maybe a sensor acting up or an exhaust-related hiccup.
If you're up for some DIY detective work, a generic OBD-II scanner might give you more insights into the specific trouble code. It's like a secret handshake between your truck and the code reader. Remember, it's all about the details. Clearing codes without addressing the root cause is like putting a Band-Aid on a leaky boat. The dealer might hit you with a diagnostic fee, but sometimes it's money well spent to save time and frustration.
You may need some parts in the process, click this link to be directed to our website where your vehicle information has already been entered. Simply enter the part's name into the search field to get started.
Fingers crossed it's a quick fix and you'll have your truck running smoothly again!

Hello. I have the same truck and I just had the same problem. What I did was mistakenly idle a long time and putt around my farm which never allowed truck to regenerate itself. Plugged everything solid. On an errand the following day, engine would not rev properly and had every light and bell sounding. I found 3 options to resolve a plugged dpf, one being illegal in certain states. The otther 2 options are baking the dpf or replacing the dpf. I have a quality scan tool that lets me access almost every system on my truck. I can read and clear codes and watch live time. However; the emissions system computer is stand alone and only the dealer has the ability to reset the computer and erase the emissions codes. If you live in an area with no annual or bi annual emissions testing, their is options with quality parts that work very well and make the truck perform much much better. I am not suggesting anything of the sort nor will I recommend companies. Do your own research. But, it sounds like you have already replaced the parts which is the most expensive of it all. Sounds like you just need the computer scanned, tested for function live time, and then reset. My experience is it is impossible with out dealer computer equipment. Hopefully this provides you with some insight and guidance. Respectfully.
