I've never had my truck in the first 10K say anything on the overhead about a regen, it's an 08 2500. I do about 30 miles one way on my way to work and back, average about 70 to 75 mph most of teh time unless traffic is bad. Only thing the truck has had done, to date is an oil change, and I'm about to do the 2nd.....

I don't know if I am just lucky, or if the thing's doing the regen and I don't know it, either way the only engine light I ever got was when I tried unplugging the EGR, which did absolutely nothing, so I just plugged it back in.

Average MPG on the overhead has been about 17.5, and I hand calc it out to about the same, again not the norm from what I understand usually the overhead is off by a mile, but mine seems about right.


Only time will tell what happens, but so far, no problems. Air filter is almost due to be changed, so I'll add an intake to it, and go from there I guess.

I bought the truck in jan of 09, not sure how to tell if it's an older truck or a newer one, any way to tell? Just wondering whether it's a newer one or older.

Also, when I bought the truck, one thing that was different about it from every other one I looked at, everything on the undercarriage, including the exhaust was painted black. Only thing that wasn't painted was the driveshafts... not sure if that means anything or not.
