How to read soot levels.

In a prevous post people were quoting soot levels. How do they determine these? I thought I had read every screen on my display but I never saw that one.

How

You need to get somting like a edge insight. I think amazon had it for 340. I gives you real readings on soot and other engine stuff.

You won't be able to see the soot level through the trucks display. The way most folks can see is with aftermarket tuners or scan tools plugged into the truck computer. They see what their soot levels are through those devices.
