No go on mine. up to temp and tried all different ways to initiate it.
One thing I do notice on the one that allowed the manual regen is that he shows the compass in the display. I don't have that option. When I enable it via Forscan, it can't communicate and throws a code. Maybe different software or modules. Mines a 2013.

On the 2011 and 2012 trucks with the "Brick" radio, the center display on the instrument panel is slightly different that the 2013 and up trucks the Sony radios. 2013 and up, the compass is shown on the radio screen and the 2011-2012 it is in the center display.

Lots of us have enabled the Operator Commanded Regen to get the information screen, but despite the label it does not allow an operator commanded regen. The curiosity is Frank's truck, in his pictures that is not the basic display. It is a 2012, perhaps things changed in later years.

There is one person on here, do not remember their name, but they have a 2015 that gets the regen prompt similar to Frank's.

There's a compass in the center display as well. One window before the Exhaust %.

Interesting!! thanks for sharing.

What do you have the " Add DEF" set too.

Also DSLR(c) is 24 miles but the Soot% is 82.3%, seems odd to me.

I'm been working on (Monitoring) the DEF level and Soot% and hope to make a more acurate equation.

Bought a bluetooth usb dongle yesterday to try FORScan but the old version of windows doesn't have a driver for it, which makes all my old portable computer's worthless. Wife is laughing, not sure if I'm going to bring my desktop out in the driveway or drive my F350 into the living room LOL.

The add DEF formula is the one Djousma put in post 874 in the extended PID's thread. I haven't used enough DEF to provide feedback yet. But thought it was cool so figured I'd try it.
DEF add light:
22f485
DEF add light 6.7L
Add DEF
0
4
x1
gal
((F*(100/255)*.05)*-1)+2.5
7e0

as for the DSLR(c). It's always been a little strange. The reason it's reading the low miles with the high % is because I interrupted a regen and for some reason it reset. I've just never gone back to review it.

Thanks for the reply L3dford:

Please post the feed back. I've been driving around with less then a 1/4 tank of DEF collecting data myself. I was going to set the "ADD DEF" at 200 miles to empty, but still collecting data. About the DSLR, do you know what mileage it was at before it reset? It would make sense if it was below 150? Anyway I have my theory but don't want to jump this thread.

FYI, stationary regen is different than normal regen. Your truck is is screaming at 2k rpm's with the fan clutch engaged. Loud. You would not want to shift into drive.
