Exhaust Cleaning duration
Hey all,
I've been enjoying my 6.7 for 2700 kms now, and have a question about the "Cleaning Exhaust Filter" cycle. I drive 27 km/16.5 miles too and from the city where most of my work is, the message "Cleaning Exhaust Filter" comes up about 1/2 way during the trip. Its happened 4-5 times in the 2700kms. I'm assuming this is normal, but wondered how long does this cycle last? I've never gotten a message that the clean is complete, or to continue driving so it can finish... It sure does get smelly from the heat!!
Thanks for your insight.

Sounds about right, you can watch your instant mpg going down while it goes through the regen the only way to tell it's done is when it goes back up, usually 10-15 mins and the cycle should be over if I remember correctly

The more stop and go driving and the more idling you do the more often your truck will regen. On the highway should should be regening about every 800-900km(ish). It takes about 15 minutes for it to complete but the truck has to be up to I believe 65C but I'm not 100% sure on the temperature.

I have found that short drives will cause mine to regen very frequent. I don't think it ever gets the filter clean before I shut it off so it will not go far before it does it again. When I am towing it does it very infrequently.

Hi!
Mine does that cleaning also around that 900km circles. Now its pretty cold weather (-20 C) and i´ve had to idle more than usual and last time (some days ago) it started on my way to home and couldnt finish it. So today it tried again to clean it on my way home and i drove over 15-20km extra (+15mins) and still didnt end it. Will see how next trip goes.
It wouldnt shift gear to the end while burning.. and consumption went up to 16 L/100km.. grr had it down to 12L/100km after highway/mixed road (1 hr go)
Im ready to change that DPF delete kit (watched some video and saw its replaced with straight pipe including that sensor- so no big deal to make it own) as we dont have any emission rules for that if im correct... need to check it. (in Finland)...
And im not looking any HP increase or so, only reasonable going without that stupid fuel burner bowl. It looked pretty simple thing to (re-)replace even if u have under warranty vehicle.

Funny you ask about this, mine started on the way home the other day. I had some liquid in the bed of my truck and when i parked my truck, you could hear the DPF burning off whatever liquid was pouring down onto the exhaust. I was like man, I would hate to have to touch that! It will soon be gone though

Thank you for all your replies. Sounds like everything is normal. Interesting what the exhaust did to the paper. I parked really close to a snowbank the other day and melted a pretty good hole in it.

Along the se line of question,
My 2010 6.4 F350 not only has the exhaust cleaning light
But also a large amount of smoke from the
Exhaust as well. So much so the cars behind
Me drop way back.
Local dealer said its normal ?

I've heard quite a few stores where the 6.4L trucks billow smoke during a regeneration, which could be related to moisture somewhere it shouldn't be.
No one that I can remember has reported this issue with the 6.7L.

Your motor will regen based on the soot build up in the exhaust filter. Every truck will build up soot differently based on the type of fuel, driving habits, and load on the engine. No two trucks will clean the exhaust the same but based on my experience, if you are light on the throttle with no load you will regen more.
