DPF Regen
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.

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

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.

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.
On edit I like your truck
SO don't get too stress out about the regens.
