When my truck (2016 F-350) goes into Regen it takes about 25 to 30 minutes to complete, 30 to 35 miles at highway speeds.
The last few regens seem to be getting closer together, in fact the last two happened within 200 miles of each other, and I can feel them start, the engine stumbles just a bit just before the message appears.

The truck gets very little city driving and even less idle time. Is this something I should be concerned about, take it in to the dealer or is it normal.

 

I haven't ever been able to tell when mine is going into a Regen. Also don't remember anyone saying that lately. Your length of time during Regen is plenty long, but if it's getting better I wouldn't be to concerned yet.
A Regen is supposed to happen at 500 Mi. no matter what kind of driving you do.
But everyone has different results, depending on driving habits.
How many miles do you have on it ?
We like pictures on this forum ! LOL
Good luck.

 

Thanks for the quick reply, it has just under 5,000 miles.
Here are a couple Pics.

 

Great looking rig you have !
What color do they call it. ?
I think I would rack up some miles as long as there's no codes coming up.

 

Thanks. It is called "Ruby Red Clearcoat Metallic"

 

My wife's Escape is that same color. I like it

 

On which screen does the message pop up that it's starting to regen.

Also regen can happen closer together when the quality of fuel is poor, truck stop fuel especially.

 

An orange screen will pop up only for a few seconds on the screen above your steering post.

 

The message center in between the tachometer and speedometer.

 

I thought of that and try to stay away from truck stops, but who knows the quality of fuels anymore. I do try to add Motorcraft Cetane Booster when I fill up. In fact my last two fill ups were from the same place. Think I will look for another Station.

 

I've found that if you stay with the majors, bp, shell etc you do fine. If you see them with premium fuel. Get it. Most of the time it's only $.02 more. We have several marathon truck stops in Michigan. I fuel there when on the road.

 

I realize where the screen is, I guess what I meant was does it matter what "page" you happen to be looking at, mileage, gauges, etc. to see the regen message.

Ok when I first received my 2012 My regens where at 400. Then I purchased a edge insight. I then tracked them at around 150 miles of city driving. If I use a LOW carbon fuel like HPF Diesel I can 200 to 300 miles between regens. Been to the shop multiple times.




On edit I like your truck





SO don't get too stress out about the regens.

 

Nope it does not matter 👍
