welcome, get it GDE tuned, probably a choked up MAP sensor, or too much soot in your intake. With a tune, it'll disable the egr and reduce the soot bigtime, improve your mpg, reduce your regens significantly, run better, run cleaner, keep your oil cleaner...

I picked up my truck from the dealer on Thursday afternooon ! The problem seems to be resolved ! The check engine light was a result of "low turbocharger outlet pressure " resulting in the reduced power and causing the throttle to open further than normal causing the " service electronic throttle linkage" light ! I drove te truck at highway speeds for about 500 miles in the past couple days and all seems well ! the DEF tank level is noticably lower , so I believe at least one regeneration cycle was completed !

DEF level and usage cannot determine Active Regens...Outlet Pressure is determined by the SCR and Intake sensors. Was Turbo or Intake replace, if NOT and a through work over it will be back.
