Once a month I’ve been hitting the interstate for a 50 mile run with the cruse set on 80mph. Lately I’ve had mixed towing and thought the interstate run would help keep it clean. Active regens are usually 30min to 40min, have never had one exceed that.
So I did a 15 mile ride kinda fast, no light.
The Edge jumped up to 94% but went back to 80%
The DPF gauge jumped to 30% but went back to 25%
Only one time have I seen it do a active regen at 25% with the edge at 100%
Egt 3 got up to 750 degrees and it’s 85 degrees outside temp.
Maybe it had...
Mine regens every 7 days, roughy 400 to 500 miles. I burn a 2.5gal keg of def every 6 weeks, and Chrysler calls it normal, a little excessive but within sepc.
Y’all may know this, may not, didn’t find out till the nephews had emission problems. The standard 100,000 mile warranty doesn’t cover...
Couldn't help my self playing with level 5 once it was warmed up. Rolling into it from 35MPH my traction control went nuts so it is doing something lol. Egts don't look crazy empty on level 5, 600 - 800, haven't done enough gauge watching to drive pressure and FRP Actual vs Commanded. I'll be...
Says 10w30 or 5w40 and that’s dependent on temperature. I live in the south, hot summers, mild winters with temps hardly below 20 degrees at night.
The temperature range has me leaning to 10w30 but I may be over thinking that as well ..
Yes !
My daily commute is 50 miles, and 95% of that is 65mph . Oh I’ve had it regen 3 times in 7 days before. If I’m towing it’s better or if I’m running empty on the interstate it’s good but my daily kills it.
Chrysler says it’s within spec and doesn’t want to do anything about it.
Ram care...
It’s time to order filters and was wondering if Geno’s ever sends out promo codes or coupons ?
As far as filters go I noticed a price difference between mopar and fleetguard with fleetguard being more expensive.
Then both are more expensive then Doc’s. I know people that use Doc’s with no...
I drive it 50 miles a day, it’s usually around 65mpg during that commute as well. During that with egt2 temp it should be doing a passive regen several times. As for a active regen it’s like every 1/4 of a tank of fuel and that’s a 50 gallon tank.
It’s been at the dealer and Chrysler tells them...
So what are you watching on your cts3 ?
A friend gave me a run down sheet he got from someone and I’ve got all that on the 3rd page , 1st page it’s egt 1 and 2, turbo temp, dpf pressure, soot % and the regen time and mile.
Can’t remember if I told you or not … A mopar mechanic told me that the only solution to frequent regens is getting on the interstate for 50 miles at 80mph.
He also said the dealer won’t tell you that because they are making money off Chrysler for warranty work when people bring their trucks...
Can someone explain what the Regen % Soot is reading ?
I thought it was reading the amount of soot in the dpf but I’m not sure about that now.
Today running 80mph down the interstate it was on 45%, parked for 20 minutes, fire it back up and it’s at 15%, drive 3 miles and it’s up to 30%
The...
Oh and as for the missing sensor, they are installing them on the cab and chaise trucks but haven’t said when it would happen to the pickups.
As for what they did to mine. The service department said this isn’t a recall yet but an open letter concerning bad dpf sensors and most trucks are...
Just to let y’all and other know
If your truck is regenerating very often, if your dpf gauge rises quickly or up and down a lot, if your using a lot of def, and even have low mpg, more then likely you have a bad dpf sensor and the program your currently running is faulty.
I went to the dealer...
In our bunch theirs 6 ram trucks, 2 3500 HO trucks, 2 3500 standard trucks, 2 2500 standard trucks.
Mine is one of the HO’s and if you’ve read the post you can see what mine does. The nephews is the other, he drives the crap outta it, tows heavy 75% of the time, regens daily, uses 5 gallons of...
