First regen at 320 miles - Diesel Forum

This is the first as far as I know. It happened as I was stopping at my mailbox. I let it idle until completion just to see how long it takes. It took 8.5 minutes at 1100 rpm. The mpg on the computer dropped .2 during the regen. The exhaust was hot but not any hotter than my 6.0 while ideling at 1100 rpm, or it seemed to me by just feel of the hand. There was a slightly offensive smell emitted also. From now own I will just continue whatever I am doing just as if it weren't in regen. Our manual dosen't get into detail how we should treat the regen.

Do you feel the truck speed up if you are coasting and regen initiates? I really wish this function was programmed to only happen when the truck is in drive and maintaining at least 30-35mph. Just not crazy about it happening around the campground or crowded shopping center. Figure the EPA(slimey thugs) would never let that happen, too much control from the owner. I hear that the Cummins regen takes place all the time due to higher exhaust heat, that there is not seperate duty cycles like what the PSD has. Wonder about the Duramaxes.

Sorry I was not clear about when it hapened. I was stopped and out of the truck when the regen began. I just monitored it til completion.
