I thought you didn't trust statistics. That's what you posted about radio towers in the other thread.
Or is it you don't trust them when it goes against what you "know"?

I was just curious if anybody was even keeping track of it, I honestly have no clue where exactly you would look I just punched it into Google and all that comes up is garbage trucks with hot loads in them burn faster than empty, and then a bunch of people wondering how much fuel an idling truck uses. I wouldn't say I completely distrust all statistics but without all the info you can manipulate it to look how you would like it to.

"Piss furnace".
HAHAHAHA!!!!! -
Some trucker groups have sue CARB a couple times alleging that the dpf systems are causing fires. Don't think anything became of them but it does seem like there are a lot more parked trucks catching fire these days.

That's something that used to bug me about the last Freightshaker I drove. The thing seemed to know whenever I pulled into the fuel aisle and THAT's when wanted to spool the regen. C'mon! We've been at highway speed for the past 5 1/2 hours and you couldn't manage a regen then?
tech10171968, NavigatorWife, mjd4277 and 1 other person Thank this. -
A Cascadia powered with a Detroit engine will just not go into regen at idle. The MCM just won't allow the automatic regen mode to initiate because the exhaust gas temperature isn't hot enough at idle, and a forced regen has to be manually initiated.
-
Not all Cascadias are powered with Detroit engines though. Some have the Cummins ISX engine. In addition there was a International ProStar at those pumps as well.

I've set in one that went into Regen.

That's why I specified "Detroit." There are a few misguided souls out there...
A parked regen is a manually initiated sequence, at least with a DD-series engine, and the MCM programming won't start a "rolling regen" at idle because of low exhaust temperature. That's just the way it is.
You may have seen one of those bastardized Cascadias with an ISX. That's why I prefaced my remarks with "Detroit."Sisbro Thanks this. -
I’ve actually driven both Cummins and Detroit powered Cascadias (Cummins has better acceleration but the Detroit has better fuel economy)and sometimes it’s how the software is programmed. I also mentioned that a ProStar was also at those pumps- those trucks have a chronic history of regen issues regardless of what mill is between the fender wells.
