Exhaust filter nearing full

[FutureOdin]

I'm using OBD Fusion on iOS so not sure how that compares but I would assume it's somewhat similar...

Regen mode will be 0 or 1 but there are 2 different PID's, one for Passive regen and one for Active regen. Both will show 1 during an Active regen. Mine runs in Passive regen on a regular basis, even driving in-town but it's not very effective in reducing soot in-town. On the highway I've seen 15% - 20% reduction on long highway drives.

As long as the PIDs and the equations are the same, shouldn't be a difference between the two.

Ahhh, I thought there would be a PID for when a regen is occuring, and then another PID to tell you if it's an active or passive regen.

It sounds like, from the way you describe it, I would need a "Active Regen" and "Passive Regen" gauges

Well actually now that I look at my gauge setup, I used a stock PID for DPF regen status and another PID for DPF regen type. Regen status will be 1 whether Active or Passive but regen type is 0 for Passive and 1 for Active.

Another display configuration that I got from a forum member here that found one on the Ram forums setup a really cool colored circle for both regen types, PR fills with green during Passive and then AR fills with red during Active instead of just looking at 1's and 0's.

Here's a shot of that display during an Active regen:

Ooo that is neat. Is there any way you can share the PIDs/equations used for your gauge set up (DPF Regen Status + DPF Regen Type)?

If you have the same info for the AR/PR green/red gauges, that'd be helpful, too! Thanks

So this entire dashboard of gauges came from the RAM forums (same engine) and they exported the entire dashboard with all their user-defined PID's for the OBD Fusion app, I simply imported the file so I don't have a full understanding of everything that went into creating this dashboard although I am incredibly appreciative that they shared it because this dashboard looks like hours upon hours of work.

Without having OBD Fusion I'm not sure everything would apply to a different app other than the PID's. Let me see what I can dig out.

Thanks! Let me know whatever you're able to provide via screenshots/export files/etc. I'm a fairly technical person so should be able to decipher them

If she drove long enough it's possible the regen was able to complete. Mine goes into Passive regen just about any time I'm above 30 mph or so which will typically only reduce soot level by a few percent depending on how long you drive. But if you're already at/above that 80% point from what I've seen it's going to go into Active regen until it's completed.

If she was highway driving on Friday and it was below 80% then it's just going to do a Passive regen. This happened to me yesterday, I started driving at around 72% in city driving and by the time I got the the gym it was at 75%. I drove a different way home that allowed me to drive ~60 mph for a little while and by the time I got back home it was back down to 71%.

Although I haven't been able to test this yet, I'm quite certain that with enough daily highway driving there won't ever need to go into Active regen as long as you're keeping soot level below 80%. This will save on fuel since the Active regen is dumping diesel into the DPF to get the temps up really high but is unavoidable if you don't drive highway enough.

Doesn't Sound like there is Anything ECO about this Diesel?? I was not aware it was this much of a pain! I have yet to get mine but already having some regrets as alot of my driving is around here on gravel roads and speeds at 50+ are pretty dangerous. Keep up the good research Guys-I may have to get a treadmill for mine-takes an hour to get to a decent road that I can speed on.

Don't let it scare you, it's just a part of being a diesel owner in this day and age. Since I am using gauges I am more aware of the entire regen process and can report my findings.

As far as being ECO ... my last 2 tanks provided me 25.1 and 24.4 mpg respectively on a 2" lifted JT on 37's, I can't say I've seen any gasser with that kind of mileage lifted on 37's but then again I don't hang out on the gasser side of the forum much

This actually happened to me last Friday after a lot of highway driving, up into the Colorado mountains and back and thought my soot level was low. Pulled in to coach my son's basketball practice and typically open my OBD Fusion app to let her idle briefly until turbo temps get just below 400F and notice my EGT and DPF temps were way on the high side and noticed I was actually in the middle of an Active regen. I took a short drive down a 35mph road and about 2 minutes later it was done and soot back to 8.6%.

Had I not noticed this, I would have shut down my truck in the middle of a regen which means it would have to start all over the next time I drive it. By simply peeking at the gauges I was able to see that I just needed to drive a bit more and that was it!

I'd be interested in that file, if you can post a link to it.

I plugged my new Snappy scanner in last night to have a look at what PIDs were available on the generic OBD2 side of things. Nothing about filter condition other than pre/post pressure deltas. I was in a hurry, so I didn't try to plug into the SGW plugs and I haven't purchased the Chrysler security key for it yet.

I'm trying to NOT install $40K in extras on this truck like I did on my 3rd gen Dodge, but some type of gauge may be in order.......

I spent $40 on a OBD2 scanner that connects to the OBD Fusion app on my iPhone for $10. Total investment $50. The only caveat is that you need to run it on a smartphone. My phone is mounted on a Bulletproof brand phone mount so it's always front and center for. Just open the app any time I want to check gauges.

You don't need to be running at higher vehicle speed for the regen. You just need to have the engine running at higher speed by downshifting to lower transmission gear when a regen is needed.

An interesting whitepaper on the city of Columbus, OH testing two of their diesel trucks with Hot Shots EDT added to the tanks, and finding significant reduction in regen cycles on both trucks which in turn provided large fuel cost savings:

Just looked up Lubrication Specialties and the Hot Shot's Secret is one of their brands. Seems the report was simply advertising for their product.

It's cheap enough that it's worth a try.
