These new fire apparatus will go into regen mode at any time, even pumping at fires, since they are not on the highway all the time going highway speeds. However they dont go into regen mode during low idle.

All I know is, is if the fire department showed up to my house to put out a fire and the cummins in it shuts down and does not allow them to do their job, it would definatly be something to see a lawer for, just to tell Chrysler/Dodge your all F'd up. Maybe just to be a thorn in their side. It would even be better if my Dodge had the same problem and I could show my work orders, and supenia the ones for the fire department. It would be hard to argue that that is not a problem!!!
