the 17 doesn't have this?

I wonder why Ford left this off on the 2017. I believe on my 2016 JD you can go to an "engine page" and observe the % of the re-gen done. At least it gives you an idea of how much longer it will take to finish.

When I get back on the interstate to go home, the mileage sucks until it doesn't.

I also read somebody here (can't remember who) that said this is exactly the way it works.

Robert, Thanks for the reply. I guess it's something I won't worry about. But another question, have you any idea how many miles you get between re-gens? I was surprised my JD went 165 hours before the 1st re-gen. Al

So we just gauge this by our mileage drastically sucking and then not?

I asked a lot of questions in the diesel forum and they general response was, just enjoy your truck, and if you see the dreaded message to drive your truck, take you wife on a nice truck ride and be done with it.

I've never seen the message.

That's what I do. I'm not saying I'm expert or my motor won't blow up at 10,000 miles... I'm just telling you what I do.
