Most time I can tell a regen by looking at dic fuel being used,if low it’s a gen.About 5 mpg less than normal is a good indication. A small led dash light wired to 9th injector to come on when it’s powered will let you know it’s a gen. |

You get the message when you're driving slow with really no load and it will tell you to keep driving in order for it to perform the regen. You may also be able to lightly smell something like plastic burning at stop lights or when idling. Also the exhaust is extremely hot coming out the tip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

| Doverarjim | When I bought my truck it had 37 miles on the odo and had the "Keep Driving" message on the dash, it only had 6.3 hours on it. About 30 miles down the road the message when away, it took Edge about 30 days to get the pid's working except for "oil pressure" still not there!!! And they changed the way soot is reported to percent from grams, which to me does not work as well. I have keep pretty good records on my truck so far and the miles between regens is all over the place depending up use of truck. With 11,000 miles on the truck I hooked the first trailer to it this afternoon so I'll know more about towing this time tomorrow. |

No aftermarket dash monitor yet for me, considering the Banks setup in the future, hopefully you can monitor cycles with their idash unit. Would be nice to be able to do a manual regen before a service! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you cant change it yourself, for whatever reason... you need to make it real clear to the service manager BEFORE they touch your truck, that you want one of the line guys, to do it. |

| Epicenter | Thank you, that's what I was wondering. I'm a first time diesel owner and still learning... LOVE the Truck, it's AWESOME! |

| Epicenter | Yes youre correct, my bad on the read. I was at 50 miles on the ODO and it said "Keep Driving..." I assumed this is what it should do everytime a regen occurs but apparently that's not true. This is my first Diesel. Thanks for the replies! |
