That's good!! Dusty roads can plug them in a hurry, even if they look decent.
Hope that's it!

Sounds like a similar thing that happened to me. Our 2012 Tiger which had the Ram 3500 chassis nearly didn't make it out of the white rim trail.
Went in with a full tank of fuel and everything running fine. At the end the engine was gasping no power and almost out of fuel. Once out we went straight
to the car wash, pulled the air filter and hosed it out. Red mud was the result. It ran fine afterwards. Glad I put a K & N filter in. Probably could have washed it out
on the trail.

Well...we tried to leave Whitehorse yesterday. Truck still didn’t seem right so had the codes pulled by a local diesel shop and they diagnosed a clogged dpf system. 
Getting a new dpf in Yukon was going to take some time and serious $$$. So:
I was able to working a parking lot and get this stuff off and a new giant Donaldson muffler on. Diesel shop was able to tune it this morning and we are on our way this morning!
North to Alaska!

Sure thing. Pretty pleased so far. A little bit of a howl on highway but better than the worn mud Tires I had on before.

Well we’re rolling again and it feels great!
Had to spend another night in Whitehorse after pulling codes on the truck and fearing a clogged dpf filter. With help of my assistants I removed the dpf and put on a large Donaldson muffler. Route 13 Diesel was very helpful and got a tune on the truck so we could head out again. I am babying the truck as I don’t want to fry the clutch with the new power
. I accidentally bumped the throttle once going over a bump and it’s clear the dpf removal and tune has woken the beast.
The drive from Whitehorse to the US border was beautiful. Really interesting to see the boreal forests.

Stayed at a great campground at Deadman lake. They have free canoes and fishing was awesome. Oldest son caught his first two fish 
On the road to McCarthy and Kennicott today. Beautiful scenery.
This tressel was built in 8 days in 1910!
Also saw this cool land train at the transportation museum in Whitehorse.

We made it to Kennicott mine and the root glacier. Fun exploring and history.
Ran into our friends Tommi and Raymone who we’d met back at deadman lake in their amazing 78 series Cruiser. They’ve been traveling seven years in this truck...Africa, Australia, America’s. Great company. And being a Cruiser addict I was a bit envious.
Today we retraced our steps out the McCarthy road
And then drove down the Richardson highway to Valdez through the rain.
Youngest caught his first wild fish from the bank. Fun times.
