Regens at 24hour mark after DPF Replacement

[cordeau700]

I am honestly not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing but I'm at 3k miles after DPF replacement at dealer. Every regen has been right on 24hr mark and average about 800miles. Since replacement the gauge has never left zero mark. I am running archoil AR6500 with every fill up. Should I be concerned or is this a good thing now? Before replacement gauge would fill up around 400ish miles and then regen.

thank you for your input!

This is good thing and means your driving habits are conducive to a healthy DPF and that your truck is running as it should.

It’s good. My regens are also at 24hrs as the truck is mostly a dedicated tow vehicle for my fifth wheel. Few short trips.

I monitor on my banks idash and I’m at 984 miles for avg between regens. 991 on older picture.

Thanks for the input! I was just worried because I have a buddy with the same truck and his gauge never left zero either and then all of a sudden he got the reduced power see dealer message.

I apologize if this is a stupid question but does it void any warranty if you install that banks idash? its just a monitor correct?

thanks again!

it does not. And my dpf guard rarely shows anything at all. That’s why o got the idash so I could have some sense of what was going on.

Does your IDash show your DPF % going up while your truck DPF gauge shows zero? I’ve never seen my gauge come off of zero, makes me wonder if I need the IDash

He had a rapid failure cause that. It’s best when the dash gauge stays on 0.

The dash and the iDash (or any PID reader) show different things.

The dash shows soot loading only. At ~45% on the dash a soot based active regen will occur.

The PID is on both hours since last regen and soot, whichever is higher. What that means is the 24 hour timer counts up 1% every 14 minutes and 24 seconds. If the current soot loading has a higher percentage than the 24 hour clock then the soot loading % will be displayed. The 24 hour timer % is a smooth steady rise, but the soot loading % will bounce around as the truck gets different readings on the sensors.

When driving conditions are conducive to 24 hour regens the PID will be driven by soot for the first 12 hours and then by the 24 hour clock. When you first start the rig is will be hour based, most the time. So if you’re at 6 hours since last regen and the DPF is clean from passive regen you should see 25% on the PID. After a few minutes of driving the PID % will rise and bounce around the 40-50% range.

If soot is driving the next active regen you’ll see the % climb very quickly and sometimes erratically. Once it reaches 100% you’ll trigger a soot based regen, which corresponds to ~45% on the EVIC. These regens are longer and driven more off soot loading, so it’s best to drive until completion without as interruption.

My EVIC gauge and My EZ-Lynk, OBD-Link monitor were always about the same

Were you monitoring DPF % or soot grams?

 

[AH64ID]

Yes. I’ve only seen my dpf gauge show anything once or twice. I bought the idash so I could see what’s going on. Also, on the ram the dash won’t tell you if you’re regenning unless you happen to have it on the dpf gauge. I have more important stuff to monitor. Here is the banks gauge setting on the idash. There’s also one that specifically says whether the regen process is on or off.

Typical Banks, that explanation is only correct if soot is driving the PID. No mention of hour based regens.

The EZ-Lynk only does grams and thats what it was set to for OBDlink. That was good enough for my uses im not sure if OBDlink has %.

Gotcha, that's a much different readout than the % that the iDash or CTS3 show.
