    Regen

    I had a new DPF installed last week. Truck went into Regen this morning with 171 miles on it as opposed to the 40-50 miles it was taking prior to replacement. Mixed Interstate (60%) and city (40%) driving since replacement. The technician bore scoped (videoed) prior to changing and sent to...

    Regens at alarming rate!

    Mine went into Regen this morning as I pulled into the parking lot at work. That is with around 75 miles driven after last Regen and since the MAP sensor was changed Tuesday afternoon. I plan to hook up to RV and run a couple of hours this weekend to see if it helps as was suggested by some of...

    I agree with possible exhaust leak or something along those lines. I have not had any issues with smells or fumes.

    Regens at alarming rate!

    We have a 45' 5th Wheel (17.5k lbs. loaded). That's the only time I haven't seen an Automatic Regen is while towing the 5th Wheel. It's been a several months since I've hooked it up and towed. I have towed since this problem began, however was not monitoring DPF temps & gages as closely at...

    Regens at alarming rate!

    I don't think they have bore scoped the DPF. The tech mentioned it on a previous visit but I did not remember to ask if he ever did. Also, yes am aware of checking the oil levels. I also reminded the tech to check as well. The tech also stated they are working with RAM engineers with regard...

    Regens at alarming rate!

    That's what I was doing the first 3-4 times, but I don't have 30-40 minutes extra to drive every other day when it goes into regen no matter what my driving habits. Mine is going into Regen every 45-65 miles. I have on several occasions had 2 Regens occur in a 115 mile run at 60+ mph (all...

    Terrible A/C and Heater performance

    I had this issue when I changed to an after market filter (WIX). Changed back to the OEM and works great!

    I haven't checked. Will look when I pick it up, hopefully on Friday.

    Regens at alarming rate!

    I've been having this issue for several months now. It started frequent regen's before I had the particulate matter sensor installed. The regen's occur every 40-60 miles and doesn't matter if highway or city driving. I have had 2 regen's occur on a single highway trip averaging 65+ mph on 130...

    Did Ya'll Get This Letter Too? - PARTICULATE MATTER SENSOR

    Your correct, the Y43 will not help with the frequent regen issue. I've had mine in to the dealer 3 times for the frequent regen issue since having the Y43 performed. They tell me they are working with Stellantis to resolve the frequent regen problem. I don't know every thing that they've...

    Brain damage - I need the transmission done. Already got the Y43.

    I have a similar problem - They can get the parts but are telling me the ATF is back ordered.

    Also, should the I-Dash ever go to 0? The lowest I've seen it go after a Regen is 35-40%.

    Thank You for the explanation. That makes more sense. Now if they can figure out what's wrong I'll be good to go.

    Did Ya'll Get This Letter Too? - PARTICULATE MATTER SENSOR

    Yes, still having excessive Regens. I actually dropped it off at the dealership this morning. They called me yesterday afternoon and asked could I bring it in as RAM had contacted them and gave them a list of things to check. Regens are occurring every 35 to 50 miles of travel. Doesn't...
