Regen milage
Ive only had the truck for 3 weeks and put 450miles on it and its regened 3 times. It gets up to about 2.9 gpl and drops to about 1.3 gpl. What can i do to improve this? i have been useing diesel power grey bottle. About 100 miles of this has been towing and ive seen some passive regen while towing so it may be worse if not for the towing. Regen takes about 15minutes. 10 to 15 miles. Seems to me that it should get closer to 4gpl and go under 1gpl when done.

I recall that Ford states that the truck will do at least 1 active regen every 500 miles (no matter what).

your type of driving will effect the amount of active or passive regens.
If left unloaded I will regen around 500 miles.
Passive I can drive 2-3K before it will actively do a regen. But I am working the motor pretty good and it is hot.

Regen
Short Regens
That's about right for my truck in traffic with no load on it. If I tow or run it hard I force it to do a passive regen.
If I drive like grampa in city traffic with normal Diesel I get about 120 between regens.
Things I have done to approve the amount of time between regens
Don't drive it during heavy traffic times.
Don't drive it for short trips
Use HPR diesel. This is special diesel not available everywhere. (I get around 300 miles per regen)
I drive it hard up hill to force a passive regen.

Before I deleted, I ran a few ounces of this in every tank and my regens went to 500 miles.
