Well, it goes further than that. How deep you want to go?

Simple answer is eliminating the DPF, and using a programmer....bla bla bla.

Longer answer, if you drive the truck as it was designed (towing) odds are the system may never need regen or only for a short time. The only time the DPF gets 'clogged' is when useing the truck like a car or sitting at idle for a long time.

Brings me to another thing; If you still refuse to drive your truck as it was designed and the DPF gets to 150% restricted, it sends you into limp mode. Only way out is towing it into the dealer and having a tech use the Tech2 and force a regen.....which is most impressive. This is what we did in class, the truck slowly climes the rpm up to 2200 and egt at 1100* until the DPF reads 0% restriction which could take up to 45 minutes. Get the hotdogs and marshmellows out

 

jeez 45 minutes how much fuel did it burn up doing that

 

We only let it run for about 10-15 min just to see how it worked, then aborted the test, but it's safe to say to will burn a LOT of fuel. It won't even let you do it if the tank is low.

 

i bet that does use a bunch of fuel that is what is keeping me from even looking at a new truck

 

ya i think my quad is supose to set or make regen but i never got it to ive had the limp mode before thats wy its now in the barn, dpf that is

 

GM wanted 1800 for a new exhaust from muff back; They are on Crack. I imagine my bro uses his regen because he doesn't tow with it, buit does a lot of highway miles.

 

Highway driving still won't give you enough constant high EGTs to 'burn' the soot.

 

I'll tell him.
Thanks everyone!
