On my '15 it will drop as low as 20%, usually regen stops at 30% then it will drop after 10 or so miles down to 20%.

I also didn't have any fee associated with the addition of the gauge, dealers not taking care of customers spending large amounts of money on new trucks isn't right.

mine will go all the way down to zero.

It stays at zero when heavy towing as well.

Mine is a 2013 so it might be a difference in programming.

My 2016 used to regenerate down to 25% or so on the Ford exh screen. I use torque pro as well. I have tp calibrated to .8 g/l for 0% and 3.5 g/l is 100%. Pretty sure the Ford gauge started out at 0 g/l at 0%, and 3.5 g/l at 100% based on comparison of the two.

Now, at 7500 miles it appears that the truck gauge recalibrated itself as it regens down to 5-10% now which would roughly correlate to a bottom end of .75 g/l. The tp numbers haven't changed.

Scott, do you run TP as well? I'd be curious what you have seen.

Not running anything else. Just the display on the truck.


It would be interesting to see what it actually is reading.

It is my understanding that there wasn't a Soot Load PID when the 11's came out. Torque Pro's Soot % equation was produced by the consumer.

I have a 13 and had a PCM update a little over a year ago which seems to align my G/L with djousma at times, the reason I believe his residual ash would be different then mine. Remember in Torque Pro the Equation is from a PID and a consumer put a unit to it. I know when I first started finding PIDs for the 6.7L an making the equations, it was hard for me to explain grams per liter so I made a PID to show percent (%) which most folks understand.

FYI:
Old Video but interesting.

Just finished having mine done. Two things I noticed. 1. Now that the DPF is activated in window #3 there is now a window #4. What do we do with it? LOL. Second thing is that when the DPF is full the % is dropped and it just says Exhaust Filter Full in orange letters. When it drops down to 95% the % comes back and the writing is back to white lettering.

Shortly after you get the orange Exhaust Filter Full message, it will start a regen. You may or may not see the Cleaning Exhaust Filter message. It flashes and disappears fairly quickly.

Here is a post I did under the Torque PID thread.

DPF gauge started at 100%, stopped at 25%.
Torque showed differently.

Keith,

I have similar happen with the Edge Insite CTS2. The CTS2 goes to 0 and the screen shows 30-35%. On the high end, the CTS2 goes to 100% and the Screen maybe shows 85% and the CTS2 shows 3.0 to 3.1 gr/l. The CTS2 are similar readouts as the TorquePro when I used it. The CTS2 stops at 100% where the TP goes on up.

I know the screen is "more accurate" for my me than the CTS2 or TP. I know when the screen says 100%, a regen will start shortly.

I will say the CTS2 was nice the other day. I was able to do a manual regen when the soot was up to 3.71 gr/l as I pulled into the yard and i was getting the "Drive to Clean" message. Took about 15 minutes to do the manual regen.

DJousma got the pid formula just right. What's interesting is is does not climb at the same rate. But just before regen they basically match.
I would love to manually regen, as they seem to occur as I am turning the corner to home.
What's interesting also since I enabled the screen I don't check the torque gauges that often anymore. Maybe I will clean up the Torque dashboard a little. We'll see.
