Hey yall, im new to this forum and need some help from some fellow powerstroke owners, please! Ive been reading quite a few threads on here about some members having problems with their 6.4s regen'ing more frequently then they usually do, especially this thread my eyes have been glued to for the past hour...

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...e=5&styleid=19

The problem with my truck is not that its regen'ing too often, the problem is that its STUCK in regen cycle. For the past 4-5 days my truck has been going into regen about 1-2 min after i start driving it, every single time i start her up. If i start my truck in the morning and let it warm up for a few min, i come out and my truck is idling higher then normal and has an increased exhaust smell, but when i aply the brake the idle goes back to normal. Then i start driving up the street and BAM "cleaning exhaust filter" message comes up and the and imidiatley the sound of the exhaust and induction changes and it sounds like sputtering/knocking. Sometimes the the engine will flutter in decel or shutdown. HORRIBLE gas mileage, Reduced engine response and power, and white smoke is cooler temps. Basically all of the normal signs of a regen cycle, am i wrong? Im pretty sure its either a dpf sensor or possibly something wrong with the DPF? i havent had one problem with my 2010 besides an egr valve and she has 167k miles and is completely stock and im very happy with my truck!

Please feel free to post your thoughts/ideas
Thanks yall, Tim

 

Welcome to FTE Tim. There is a forum specifically for the 6.4 diesel which will more than likely, get more responses there. Good luck with it!
