What build is your truck? When you have a "regeneration," does the message center stay lit with the "CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER" message? Could you have missed the message for "regeneration?" If you go back to my very first post, when I pull hard and I get regular "regenerations." They are to close together to allow for a "passive regeneration." Until I got the latest flash, I believed in the "passive regeneration." I no longer believe this. In fact, it's a real eye opener to see how much the truck does go into "regeneration."
