Got it working. It depends on year of truck. My problem was from 2018 and up, there is a security gateway that prevents non dealer code readers to make changes. I had to order a security gateway bypass. 50 bucks for a wiring harness that fits in the obd port with 2 jumpers that bypass the software.

Oh right on. Mine is a 2016 so it should be good then?
 
Yes, it should be good. It's pretty easy to use. Also I would recommend cleaning the map sensor if you haven't already.

Already did, man was it dirty. Thanks so much for your help.
 
At times you want to run the stationery desoot more than once,just drive it 2+miles and you can perform the service again, the more soot you burn off the less chance of ash build up,ash cannot be burned-out, if the DPF gets plugged with ash it must be removed and physically cleaned out.

Can you attach a link for the jumper? I have an '18 and have encountered the same issue with the Alpha. Fails at the last step.
 
Anyone heard of ECRI for the sgw bypass. Im having trouble getting my alpha obd mx+ to start forced regen on 2018
 
Never heard of ECRI, but Thier's many bypass cables and Module manufactures for the go around of the SGM.
 
Well I think ai have figured out it's not just a bypass module but has to be access through an app to turn off the sgw. It apparently has tuning capabilities as well. I may have bought too much tool. Their customer service is responsive and when I get it figured out, I'll post a review.
 
There are only a few companies that have the license to use an app or software to bypass the secure Gateway module you'll have to buy actually a cable or a module to do it. All of the scan tools that can bypass the secure Gateway module cost thousands of dollars you're much better off buying a cable or a bypass module.
