Frequent Regen 2020 6.7

[Dasmoetorhead]

I've never seen any type of gauge display that says my last 3 trucks are in regen. Does anybody have a picture of that? I tow heavy and live in tne mountains in E TN. I've never seen a temp change in the gauges. I do however know that it must go into regen. When it does I get a wiff of that airport JP5 burnt jet fuel smell, and I do know that smell after 20 in the Military. That's it. This is on my three 4th gen pickups I've owned.

The gauge is only on the 19+ trucks and as far as temps, you'd need an aftermarket monitor to see t he EGTs that's the only thing that goes up

Ok, so my 14 and 15 didn't have it. But my 21 should. Don't see it.

Do you have the 7" evic dash display? It might not be on the cheaper/smaller dash information center if that is what you have?

[Dasmoetorhead]

No I've got the 12 inch screen. My 21 Laramie is loaded.

With the exception of the 1st 500 miles, my truck was hooked up to a 10k+ trailer. Now that I won't be towing for awhile I may see it.

Need to scroll through the menus on your dash display to find it.

This is correct. I am not at my truck and use a Banks iDash that tells me if regen is "on" or "off", so I am not sure what screen it is on but it is in there. I have seen it when scrolling through.

Alrighty then. Thx.

I have never seen any type of message saying in Regen. Mine just does its thing. mostly highway driving

I got so used to seeing it, not any more.

You won't see it unless you go to that screen and look at it. Now if your DPF gets full and is having issues then you will get a popup message.

Thanks for the actual picture.

Need to be on the DPF gage screen while it’s doing its thing. It will read automatic exhaust regeneration in progress. Once it’s done it will return to showing the DPF restriction gage. Mine typically last 15-25 miles depending how the truck has been used (towing/non towing). Expect one at or very close to 24hr engine run time intervals. You can also find that value by scrolling through your EVIC.

Thanks. Learn something every day.
I reckon since all my 4th gens past and present got worked they didn't really need it. I live 34 miles from town in the mountains with some highway sections with a 55 mph speed limit, so it's probably the perfect scenario to keep it from going into regen often. Now that towing season is over for me I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Thanks again, and to everybody else that has explained this.

Here is my situation. 2019 Ram 2500 with a 6.7. CP4 blew up in January of 2022 with around 35000 miles. I have had the truck since new and use it for work so it get used like a diesel should. Prior to the CP4 blowing up I around 1500-2000 miles per regen. It took the dealer a full month to figure out what they were going to do because the recall had just been issued and there was no guidance on a fix. In the end, a CP3 was installed and BCM was reprogrammed with whatever update they deemed necessary. After getting the truck back I noticed fuel economy decreased due to increased regen cycles. I am averaging 160 miles between regen in the same work conditions. Mileage before was around 17, not I am at 10. I am wondering if any of you have experienced anything similar. Dealer has no idea what is going on. I have had it back to them 3 times since the CP3 was installed. This is all documented through their STAR program (no idea what that is) and this time a STAR software engineer is being tasked with looking into the truck.

From experience, check your air filter and only replace with Mopar filter. If problem persists check your intercooler lines for leaks. 19’s would wear a hole in the tube where a cable crosses over the rubber under the big plastic tube that feeds the turbo.

Makes one wonder if this may be part of the reason they suspended the Y78 recall parts availability for the 2019 trucks...
