    I second Gear head. That regen system is either working great or will be a headache. If they have records, see if the particulate filter has been cleaned. It should have been cleaned already with 400k on it. Supposedly the 450 is supposed to get better fuel economy compared to the 435/485. Something to do with the piston shape makes it more efficient.
