    You mean a gauge to tell me how full the dpf filter is? Nope nope nope. I only wish. I also would like a gauge that tells me WHEN it does a regen. It will only at idle because my exhaust gauge gets hot.
    ive heard some Pete's do have an indicator.

    We've got a '13 pete and a '14 W9 both with 550 ISX and the gauges to show how full the filters are..Both trucks they've never moved...One has 400 and change and the KW has about 120 on it now.

    I kind of wish the guys who are paid a bucket load of money and take the time to spec a truck with us would inform us that those gauges are available.
    What is the highest number on your gauge that it goes?

    I'd be lying if I told you how high they go. I'm pretty sure they just say clean and full mind you.

    They both haul 140k gross all day every day so the motors get worked.. Like I said, never have they moved. I don't think they've even had to do a regen!

    I would have thought there would be serious issues if there had never been a regen!

    They do their thing while driving once in awhile but have never told me or any of the other drivers to stop and do a manual regen. Our pete seems to do its regen while driving more then our KW for whatever reason.

    I will stick to the old 550 single screw cat Im running..no issues, ever. lol

    everybodys trucks have been regen'ing regularly, its not an event that is noticeable when everything is fine

    parked regens are kinda violent, regens at hwy speed arent noticeable, except for fuel use spike
