Yeah and it only comes on for a couple seconds saying cleaning filter I think, I missed it 99% of the time. But now I got rid of the emissions and don't have to worry about regens
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.
Pretty truck...
Regens on mine have been all over the place.. I use a ScanGauge-II and have it programmed to tell me how many miles since last regen, regen on/off, GPL and EGT4 temp.

Truckstop fuel -
Fuel for truck stops as well as majors generally all come from regional refineries. We have a refinery not far from where we live and it is common to see BP, Shell, Marathon, etc. trucks all lined up going in empty and coming out full...
The positive aspect of buying fuel at truckstops is that the fuel is generally fresh and without any water in it. I sample all my fuel anyway before it goes into my tank.
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.
I'm glad that you mentioned the "Stumble" at the start of the Regen. I've noticed that too on my 2016, but haven't heard anyone else mention that here and have been kind of concerned about that. I would hate for that to happen to me while pulling a hill with my trailer as it could potentially be bad. I know it's associated with the Regen starting as I can instantly look down and see the message on the screen.
Anyone else out there noticed this? Is this part of what the Jackhammering starts out like before it gets real noticeable?
My truck has just over 6000 miles on it and didn't start doing it right away, but maybe after about 4000 miles I noticed it.
You will notice the stumble but it doesn't affect the power curve. It will take more fuel (pressure on peddle) to give the power you need. You will notice the drop off in mpg. Also if the system is hot enough while towing. It might even do a passive regen which isn't noticeable. Regens can happen from 200 to 800 miles. Depending on what you are doing and quality of fuel.
Just enjoy the truck and keep the def tank filled and if you think you have a problem just come back as someone might have been there done that.
