Regen Understanding

could be. have you ever cleaned it ?

 

usually at 280-300k fault light pops on saying its time for dpf cleaning. I am not a Cummins specialist. Somebody will help you soon . Just wait.

 

With the mileage on the truck, it may be a good idea to have the DPF taken out and cleaned. Then have the ash timer reset.

Will it go into a parked regen? If so, that may help for a short time. It could take about an hour. So best to do it when you can sit for it to run the regen.

 

Look into a Dieselforce cleaning, it will clean the entire engine and DPF system.

 

Not sure. The system doing a lot of passive regens will use fuel, that could lead to poor MPG.
Doing a forced or parked regen can some times do a better job of cleaning the system. Make sure the engine is fully up to operating temps before trying it.

Still would check into pulling the DPF for a cleaning.

Is the engine using any oil? Do you need to add any between changes? How often are you changing engine oil and filters?
