I have a job 2 and mine doesn't tell me when it's in regen.
I knew about those symptoms but every time it goes in to regen up until today, I almost immediately got on to the freeway so it's hard to tell. Today, it smoked like crazy for about five minutes then I had to shut it off to go into a meeting. After that I came out and drove a few miles and noticed it going to regen again. I let it idle for at least 15 minutes and gave up because of another meeting. Honestly, I think this "clean exhaust" is a bunch of B.S.! I'm going to let the dealership reflash it one time and then probably get rid of all the DPF and get a programmer to get rid of the regen.
I understand, I suppose a regen can last that long. Whenever I've been around our 08 regening, we always just let it do it while were driving, and I dont think they have let it idle through its regen.
And yes, that would be the great EPA saying that we have to have less polluting diesel's, and yet by something like 2020 all vehicles have to get like 30+ mpg. If you want to complain, complain to them cause there the ones that are having these new trucks have DPF's cause of emmisions. Its BS, and to be honest it doesnt even look good on paper, there just a bunch of dumb arses.
I'm sure if one of the EPA guys saw my truck they would be disgusted as I leave a big cloud of black smoke as I just let out the clutch to get rolling .
More of the same....put a bandaid on it and hope everybody forgets about it.
I'm trying to find out how reliable the programmers and turbo back exhausts are on the 6.4. I don't want to trade regen for constant codes.
I think you have to go to the dealer and get it from them or have them instal it. I dont remember how much it cost though.
