Regen Question and Possible A/C problem
Got 2 issues I need some input on for my 15' 250.
The first is concerning the regen. I have the ghost screen activated for the exhaust filter and while in regen I will watch the soot level percentage drop on the screen until regen is complete. A few weeks ago I noticed regen would stop before the filter showed to be empty while driving down the highway. For the past several regens it would not drop below 20% full. Was on the highway this weekend, truck began to regen and this time stopped at 25% full. MY concern is that the regen is not completely cleaning the filter as displayed by the screen. Has anyone else experienced this have an idea of whats going on?
Second issue is within the past week on two separate occasions I have found a small amount of water on my passenger side floorboard. Pulled the mat back and the carpet up by the bottom side of the dash was damp. Only thing I can figure is that its A/C related. The truck is only 2 years old and just over 15k miles so I would hate to think that the A/C already needs repair. Any ideas as to what's causing this?

Since my last ECM update my regens always go to 0% (unless I turn the truck off in the middle of one).
My A/C evaporation coil was replaced @ 8000 miles, truck was 7 months old at the time.
I would get dealer to check both problems while still under warranty.

With the Ghost Screen, you will probably never see it go to 0%. My CTS2 will go to 0% but then it is similar to TorquePro and not in sync with the Ghost Screen percentages. You situation is normal, so no worries. Drive the truck like you stole it.
I have seen my percentages drop to 15% a few times but most times it will only drop to 20% or 25%. What you are seeing is normal and would not consider it a problem nor worry about it.
Have you gone under the truck on the passenger side to see it the "through the floor" HVAC drain is clogged or other problem? Sometimes the drain gets clogged or doesn't open and water will accumulate. Might have Dealer check this problem if you rather not crawl under truck.
