Brand new 780 with d13 regen questions..

So I just bought a brand new 2014 780 with a d13. I've had it about a week now, and 2 nights ago I had to idle the truck due to the cold. (Next week I have an appointment to get an APU on it so hopefully less idle time) However the other night I woke up to beeps on the dash and a warning light saying engine soot level was high, and to do a parked regen. So I did. Last night I get stuck up in Indianapolis and this morning the same thing. Having to do a parked regen again due to high soot levels and the engine being in derate.

So the truck only has 3k miles on it. Should I be having to do this already everynight I have to idle? I've spoken to 2 of my friends they said it's not normal, and both their trucks have about 100k miles on them and they haven't had to do a parked regen ever.. I called the dealership and spoke to my salesman he said ya it's pretty normal.

So is this something I should be concerned about? Also on a side note. When I picked up the truck last week my soot level gauge hovered close to empty all the time. Now it is constantly sitting right below the downward pointing hash mark that's about 2/3s the way across the gauge. Just seems like my soot levels are always high now.

Any insight would be great. As this has me concerned. Thanks in advance.

 

I plan to take it into the dealer next Thursday when I get back to Dallas. Will have them take a look at it.

 

actually I did. And they have been excellent! Great salesmen, got me where I wanted to be out the door.

Ya I am taking it in to have it hooked up on the computer to see if they can find out if anything is wrong with it. It might have just been the cold. It was down at 0 and below the 3 nights I have idled it so far. I did the after treatment ATS status and there are 2 items that are marked check. They are going to look at it. Also getting a whine in the power steering I am going to have them look at.

New truck, just got to work out the bugs.

also on Thursday I'm having my APU put in.
