I felt my regen this morning. Was using the foot pedal when it started instead of the cruise control like when it usually kicks in.
Wasn't a terrible feeling, just the slight perception of extra load on the engine that couldn't keep up for a half second. I felt it before I noticed the message.

Thank you everybody for the feedback.
Tim_C seems to be having the exact same situation. I had another active regen come on last week while I was driving it 'by foot' rather than on cruise control and didn't feel anything.
I've never had a major power loss or the jack-hammering others are reporting yet so from reading that quite a few people on here have the same phenomenon I don't want to take it to the dealer already for such a slight maybe half second nuisance unless it gets worse--afraid I'll end up with much worse problems instead. Or maybe I'm just getting used to it. Have yet to see how it will perform when I'm pulling my 20k lbs trailer though.
Has anyone taken their trucks to the dealer for this?
Thanks y'all,
Chris

Just turned 50k on my '15 and never noticed any difference in motion when the regen kicks in. Sometimes I see the message on the dash at the start and other times I just notice the turbo boost has gone way up.

I used to feel mine go into regen and now that it was udpated to the newest calibration I can't tell. Only times I felt that miss was when I was cruising in the 45-55 mph range.
I am not 100% on this, but I though all new '16 had this update. But it can't hurt to bring your $60k truck that is under warranty back to the dealer for them to look at.

Hey guys and girls,
last week I picked up a 2016 F-350 with the 6.7 diesel.
Since then I have put about 4500 miles on it and gone through 2 or 3 regenerations. About half the miles were empty, half were with about 1500lbs of cargo in the bed. Mostly interstate driving at about 70mph.
However, every time the "cleaning exhaust filter" message comes on in the screen it feels like the truck looses all power for a second. The first time I was going up hill with cruise control set at 70 and it felt like stomping the brakes then hitting the gas all within a second maybe.
Has anyone else experienced this? I have no 6.7 experience so I'm not sure if this is normal or if I need to worry...
Thanks,
Chris

Alright, I'm convinced, I'll take it to the dealer to get it re-programmed.
Have to get an oil change anyways.
Interesting, I read there might be some active regenerations I wouldn't see on the information screen, only on a programmer. In that case, the numbers I was using is the ones I see on the information screen.
