I did a search and some people say the EVIC tells them when its in regen and some say they never seen a message.

Just wondering because I read it is not good to shut the truck off during a regen due to the high egts.

I have right at 2100 miles on my truck. I never seen a message yet.

There is no message to say you are in regen. You will get a message when you need to get it out on the highway to regen if you haven't been driving it the way it wants to be driven so you will have to get it out on the highway to force it to regen.

Ive shut it down during a regen no big deal , just drive it like you stole it. I will usually get it out on the highway and drive it at 80 for about 20 min.:thumbsup:how do you know when you are in a active regen it will smell like burning hot melting metal with a tinging noise coming from the exhuast metals being so hot, but i never have had a message.

These trucks are made to be HI way driven not around town as a grocery getter. With all the emissions on these trucks they will clog up with slow city driving.

I had a message pop up one time on my EVIC when the truck was new. It gave a percentage of the REGEN. I have not seen it again since but I know when it is in REGEN from the smell inside.

the only way to know your in regen it monitor you DPF pyro or the PID for regen.

the message that you DPF is full which does not happen if the truck is worked only if you soccer mom it around.

any ODBII gauge setup would be able to tell you. The edge setup just has an icon for regen which is kind of cool. you don't have to waste one of the guage location for regen.

Get and Edge Insight. I great investment for these trucks.

I actaully like to know when it is in regen so I don't shut it off in the middle of a regen cycle.

once you get the juice it will just tell you. I also do monitor the dpf pyro you will see it's EGT's jump up in the ~1000 range.

I use my truck for everything, Highway, cruising downtown at 15 mph, idling, grocery getting, and trips, tow very light & very little. Had it for 10 months and 16k miles, and have NEVER been able to detect a regen. I smelled, listened, watched the MPG, and have never noticed it once, and I've been watching ever since I got it new. Never seen a message or a regen, must very seamless.

Doesn't the exhaust brake come on during the regen?

It is very seamless. I can see when the truck is in regen with my Insight and, other than the little red "R", you really can't tell.

No.

The first time mine went into regen and I noticed, was going through the Dunkin drive through. I thought the nasty smell was the morons painting the stripes in the parking lot that I thought I was going o have to drive through! Naw, 2 blocks down when I stopped to get fuel, I opened the door to check clearance on the pump guard before I put it in park....whew! The smell was nasty! I could here the pump clicking away. I'm at almost 3k mi. and at 70ish % on DEF now.

Yes, if the truck isn't hot enough the EB will turn on and off. Many have seen this.

My truck smokes like a freight train when it is in regen. Bluish white smoke. It's obnoxious.

 

[Trowel2013]

^^^^Wow, that's the first I've heard of that. Sounds to me as if you have some sort of other issue going on. I hate to say it, but it sounds like you need to take the truck to the dealer. Get a video of the smoke you speak of and show it to them because knowing most dealers they'll say, "We can't find a code, so we can't do anything."

Ford 6.4s used to do that if they weren't hot enough and it commanded a regen. BTW, be happy with Ram regens, although I regularly about Rams and loved my 6.4 F250, when it went it to regen, it was like a woman having her period.

Grumpy, noisy, didn't run as well...you knew it right away too! Ram definitely did it right for regen

Last time mine went into Regen my 2.5 year daughter said "Oh, Daddy you're Stinky"! Haha!

 

[Too Tall]

I'd like to know how the commercial trucks like cement trucks and others can keep from getting clogged up? These things sit on location for hours some time idling. Maybe they have a more aggressive regen? I'm under the impression thar the Ram won't regen at idle, is that right?

i'm officially going to take that line and use it around my house and truck. i dare my wife and daughter to prove me wrong!
