    Diesel Particulate Filter Gauge , Is It Working

    The reflash had to happen. Without the sensor the programming that was previously in place to make regen decisions based on the sensor I put had to be changed. This was probably accomplished by calling a different subroutine that used a decision algorithm based on who knows what, but not...

    Diesel Particulate Filter Gauge , Is It Working

    You can consider my report POSITIVE....It now seems to regen when I expect it to, less often, and definitely never when towing my 10000 pound camper with motorcycles in the bed (yeah, I'm not a heavy user for an HO duallybut what a dream to tow and best cruise control ever....6th gear all the...

    Diesel Particulate Filter Gauge , Is It Working

    I don't notice any difference in DEF usage, always figured it was tied to a different algorithm. What I've noticed with the DPF sensor is now the regens make sense when they're happening (gauge goes up around town, not so much highway and even down to zero when towing heavy). Before it seemed...

    Diesel Particulate Filter Gauge , Is It Working

    I've had mine installed for a few thousand miles now. The system seems to Regen less and in a manner that makes sense. When I'm towing it works it's way back to zero and pretty much stays there as long as it's highway. Around town not towing it slowly goes up. Also, regens have gone from 45...

    Tailgate recall and other OT posts not related to grid heater relay recall moved to here

    Mine was a little loose on the right side, now it's tight when closed. Never had a problem, though.

    Diesel Particulate Filter Gauge , Is It Working

    With my L3700 if I stop using it the crap comes back in 6 months or so. I'm in Maryland, humidity high most of the year. But, yeah, I could probably use BioKleen quarterly like I do the Power Service Clear Diesel tank cleaner additive. After 10 years I noticed a little goo sneaking back in...

    Diesel Particulate Filter Gauge , Is It Working

    Great thread. Picked up my 3500 HO in August. Only 1800 miles, about 500 towing 10000 lb TT. My DPF gauge had about 25% from the factory, which makes sense with probably very short stops and starts. I expected the guage to go UP.... like time/miles to next Regen. Like you all said, went to...

    Do I really NEED to use tow haul on highway ?

    During the long wait on my order I thought I'd read the 22 owners manual sufficiently, missed that on page 152, 154, 156. It always mentions overheating the tranny as the reason. Got a guage to monitor that. Page 147 notes that having the exhaust brake on with TG will add even more agression...

    Do I really NEED to use tow haul on highway ?

    That was my feeling, my concern is... ..I guess was..... transmission management outside of shifting. Line pressures, torque converter lockup issues, that sort of thing.

    Do I really NEED to use tow haul on highway ?

    I only got 6 gears in my Aisin and it seems over 60 mph almost nothing kicks it down but perty steep uphills. And then it's one gear with an increase in RPM from 1900 to 2200ish. No more WAAAAAAAA like my 6.2 F250 gasser would do:). on this truck, it just seems like the converter stays locked...
