ok, so here i sit... on a on-ramp while my truck is doing a regen... i moved from the side of the highway about an hour n a half ago..
this will now be the 4th regen in the past 48 hours the truck is doing....
the lights that are lite up are:
check engine,
STOP,
and the Exhaust Filter Full light....
all of which keep flashing....
these 2 last trips have been the trip from hell with this...
my biggest issue is extream lack of power the truck has lost..
im 75440 and hard a hard time getting up the hills.. i talking, 20mph.. and also even on flat open road its not pulling the way it should...
i talked to the shop bout the issue, they said that it needs to have a regen done on it.. a manual regen... it has 3 times already!!!...
anyone have any suggestions what eles could be the problem???
one of the shop guys suggested an egr problem?!?!?
any input??
cascadia regen..... nightmare!

5 gallons of gas and a match. Park it on capitol hill first.
-
Detroit/mbe engine? or cummins
-
What's a "regen?"
-
Sounds like a engine problem.
How many miles u have on truck?
Does the check engine go out after the regen?
If its running bad then its probally having to regen more than normal.
Get it to a shop n hooked up to computer, maybe have them force a full regen.
I would guess the regens are not the main problem but something else is happening here as its running bad and then causing the filter to clog.
I have 358,00 approx and have only had to do stationary regens when I have had sensor or other problems, but never when running healthy. -
Your DPF is probably plugged up. Regens won't help. You would need to have it cleaned or replaced.
dannypawpaw Thanks this. -
Had a similar problem on the one I drove. Ended up being a bad valve on the pollution control crap. Mine got to the point where it would run exactly 4 minutes and shut off. Better try and get to a shop before it gets to that point as I don't need to tell you it ain't fun pullin a load and have the truck die. Good luck

i talked to the shop... and they said something is clearly wrong, and sounds like more then just a regen problem.... find out on monday... ill update when they figure out whats going on... -
anyway. doing the regen it cleans the filter and you SHOULD be on your way!..
now.. ill add that this was explained to me super quick from a mechanic who wanted me out of the shop... other will chime in and correct me im sure... -
I was fired from my last job because of this.Shop foreman ran up a huge towtruck bill I got the blame because I didn't know how to regen.
