Regen question

On my way to work the regen message came up saying I was at 80% by the time I got to work I was down to 50%. When I get off work should I go for a long drive. Hopefully shutting off the truck in a middle of a regen is ok.

It's not the best practice to shut it down during a regeneration but shouldn't hurt it. My feelings about the whole thing is I just try and limit it's cycles by watching my CS2 and let the truck complete it's process. I figure the components have a certain lifespan, and if I can eliminate partial burns then I'm ahead of the game.

As far as you going on a long drive after work, unless you have a monitor to force a regeneration, you won't get into another until you reach the 66%+/- threshold...

I've had that same thought process. But, thinking more and more about it I feel like after warranty it's going to be cheaper to let the DPF "fall off" and buy the necessary tuner then to replace the factory emissions system. I know on the bigger disesls that system is upwards of $3000 dollars. I'm not sure what the cost is on a EcoDiesel yet.

But back on topic.. I probably wouldn't worry about the current state (50%) unless you don't plan on ANY highway driving anytime soon..

Exactly. I'll play nice and keep it all intact until it's going to be a huge expense. At that time it probably won't be my everyday driver anyhow so I'll feel less guilty deleting the emission equipment.

I live in southern Or and vehicles have to pass DEQ- visual and emission testing, so removing emission stuff isn't an option until vehicle is 21 yrs old.

Wow..!

Yea, best to treat the regeneration process as well as you can then.
