Well: 30 minutes after I posted here, my F350 must have ears, because I got into my truck to drive 10 miles to work. As I drove down my street the TDC said 8.4mpg and I reset it, I drove a half mile down the main street, I looked at the TDC and it said 9.2 mpg going 40mph, then all of a sudden I seen my first “CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER” on the TDC for about 3 seconds. I didn’t notice white smoke, the turbo boost change or the RPM go up so I don’t know if the cleaning was finished I got to work and sat in the truck and the truck didn’t go into high idle. The TDC mpg reading went down to 7.2 mpg. Should you keep driving till you’re out of Regen? If it wasn’t finished cleaning the DPF, I guess it will start again on my way home. Maybe on the way home I’ll go the long route. I don’t think an F350 PSD should get 7.2 mpg driving 40 mph through the city, if the fuel gauge wasn’t going down so fast I wouldn’t believe the TDC fuel mileage. I have to have something else wrong with this truck. Can someone straighten me out if I’m missing something here!!...Thanks in advance…..MPD56
