Well, I finally pulled the trigger on the Ram. Traded it in for a Ford Superduty. I really loved the Ram for towing and a number of other things, but the uncertainty and frustration with the constant regenning of the dpf just got to be too much. Nothing about it made any sense and it doesn't...

Yeah ok, good point. I guess I wasn't aware that was a melting issue, I thought it was backing off or corroding from the soot.

Wouldn't heating the cooled air from the EGR as it goes into the engine help?

I wonder if there is a way to hack the grid heater to turn on when the EGR is active....could heat up the air coming in? Might not be enough and might just cause the EGR to dump more in? Maybe a tune change is required?

Yeah agreed, but that is a known issue with a known solution. Outside of that and some EGT sensors (cheap), and the dreaded death wobble (also fixable), I can’t see many other downsides.

I’ve gotten to the point with this truck that I’m so frustrated I am thinking of moving to a 2020-2021 Powerstroke. Any good reasons not to? Between the constant regenning and potential for lifter issues, it doesn’t feel like a smart investment anymore.

I wondered about this too…..I went to go remove the baffle and noticed it was very different from previous years, so I decided to leave it in. I would be curious if anyone has removed and what the impact has been.

I don't know how you are calculating your average MPH, but is likely inaccurate. Take your Total Engine Hours and divide by your total miles. This will likely give you something closer and make your math work better. I expect you will be nowhere near 68mph. But everyone else is correct, you are...

I have really wondered about this being an issue with our '22 trucks.....like someone accidentally picked up some cp4 code and put it in and no one has been able to figure it out. That should be an easy flash, but there is also some change between '21 and '22 ECMs that prevent anyone from...

They didn’t make any changes to the engine though for the previous year that would impact this though right? The 2021 also takes 11.5 quarts?

Damn….weird that 4 Regens in 100 miles wouldn’t trip a CEL.

I agree, it makes very little sense, but that is what is happening. I also feel like this points to a sensor issue, tune/calculation issue, or air issue. I’m at a loss though. I wouldn’t be surprised if you experienced the same thing. Get it nice and hot and the wide open throttle it on surface...

The only thing that make sense in my head is that somehow after driving long enough to get it nice and hot, the sensor is finally starting to read the difference in pressure correctly and by forcing a lot of air through the dpf, it causes the computer to recalculate the % full? That, or there is...

Units, I have the exact same experience you have. If my truck has been running for a while (usually 30-45min, but can be less) if I step on the gas and really get it going the DPF% will drop dramatically...it can drop 5% per pedal stomp. Sometimes I use this just to clear 5-10% before I get to...

I’m having the same experience…not working as well as the 6400d. I moved up to the “performance dose” as well which almost seemed to make it worse. Was considering doing just the fuel treatment again followed by no other additive after. Hot shots EDT does the same, makes my soot loading worse...
