Some people's CEL doesn't come on till after 36,000 miles and they're SOL if they didn't have the extended warranty.
After they finally replaced mine, I blocked the vac line to the EGR valve, and later got it fixed with the SCT.
Anyhow, mad props to whatever dealership you went to. the 4 or 5 out here that I tried weren't buying my "faulty DPFE" story.

All I did was complained that my car was stumbling. I left it up to them to figure out it was the DPFE sensor
I'm pretty sure it was replaced twice at one dealership and once at another, although it was throwing quite a few codes for the second dealership. I was kind of a pain in the butt though, maybe that's why they fixed it
My car only has 33,000 miles on it right now.
Jibberish, I didn't pay the $113 my dealership wanted for it, I picked it up from Autozone for $32 (although I have to go back and get the other style-silly me for not checking before I left).
