Cleaners That Remove Soot?

Newbie to diesel engines and looking for the wisdom of the community. I just bought a 2016 Ecodiesel with 44k miles 9-days ago and it's already back at the dealership because of a check engine light (code P026C) which is an issue with the injectors. The dealership states that they will replace the injectors.

I've been reading about how people clean the EGR valve (?), and the MAP sensor. I plan on purchasing the GDE mod after the new injectors are installed. My question is if anyone knows of fuel system cleaners (e.g. Royal Purple Max-Tane, Sea Foam, and so on) will help keep those injectors clean.

A follow-on question is if there are any recommended engine flush products that would help remove the soot build-up.

Thanks, in advance, for your insights.

I've run the GDE tune since 5k miles, I think you will be pretty happy.

I am not sure how to clean the intake or how to flush the engine. Check in the maintenance forum to see what others have done before.

it is hard to say any soot plus large pieces will b run through the engine the only way is to remove it and pressure wash it
