Add me to the Archoil 6400d believers

Have never got the Continue Driving message, which I hope is a good thing.

Uh, doesnt EVERY regen cycle show the message "active regeneration in progress, continue driving" on the EVIC DPF screen? Ive got 8500 miles on my 24 and Ive never seen a regen message that didn't include "continue driving". Even the very first timed regen said to "continue driving", and so far, ALL of the regens have been timed, never soot-based. You guys are confusing me.

No.

There are two distinctly different messages.

Normal regeneration message is:

“Automatic exhaust system regeneration in progress”

The “intervention strategy” regeneration message is:

“Automatic exhaust system regeneration in process continue driving”

The normal message is what you should see on the instrument cluster whenever you scroll to the DPF page while the truck is actively regenerating. The “intervention strategy” message pops up on the instrument cluster regardless of which page your on. It also causes a “chime” from the instrument cluster. The only time you should ever see the intervention strategy message is if the normal regeneration cycles have repeatedly been interrupted (shutting off or parking during regeneration, or operating in conditions where a regeneration would not be effective). If you’re seeing that message all the time, you need to adjust your driving habits or start paying attention to when the truck is nearing a regeneration. Repeatedly interrupting the regen cycles will, in most cases, ultimately lead to more DPF related issues down the road.

You could also be like me, never receive the “continue driving” warning, and be subject to frequent regens anyways.

It’s black magic, as far as I’m concerned.

I am pretty confident I interrupt regens all the time. Never had any messages pop up in 31K miles. I have seen the DPF gauge at like 1/4? maybe but then if I happen to think about it I will check it and its at zero.

Truck makes shorts trips daily so maybe the man behind the curtain is busy with other things.
