When I am driving unloaded the engine isn't working as hard and exhaust temperatures are lower. In this case the regen interval is 150-200ish miles. When I am towing EGT-4 is usually 700-900F and I usually run into the so called manditory 500 mile regen. '12 CCSB with diesel kleen.

I love some dealers (extreme sarcasm) I mentioned to one about the posting and I get the "oh you forums guys" response. Like I'm pulling it out of my ****...

I think I just need to poke around and find someplace not local to my area to have this done. So far too, my shops you deal with just the service advisor, and not actually with the techs, neither would let me connect directly.

 

You could poke around on forscan and have it done in your driveway in less than 15 minutes. And that's if it's your first time on forscan. Even threw in some time to take a few sips of beer in my estimation.

 

This is how to get to the %DPF screen for "Exhaust filter".

(1) IDS "talking" with truck via VCM

(2) Toolbox selected to get to the Module Programming

(3) Programmable Parameters for our trucks

(4) Select Personality Parameter to program

(5) Change "Forced Regeneration Request" to Enabled.

(6) Programming complete and VCM can be disconnected from truck

Ghost Screen now appears

I went through the same aggravation. Drove me nuts! After contacting or visiting 6 dealerships, I finally found one that did it. Was actually recommended to me on this forum. Difference was, very small town dealership that allowed me to speak directly to the diesel tech. Took him 10 minutes.

I highly recommend getting it done somehow. I love having it activated.

 

What's nice about having the screen is knowing roughly when your going to get a regen with a simple touch of a button.

 

To give credit where credit is due the info below is from Scraprat's post on 1/27/16 here on FTE.
I printed it off, gave it to the service tech and 10mins or so later it was on my ghost screen. BTW the tech had not heard of this either until I told him and give the printout.
Sorry for the copy and past job but I don't know how to do the link so it just shows what Scraprat posted.
Hope this helps.

I just purchased my truck and explained the ghost screen to the sales guy he said just send the instructions. When I picked up the truck the screen was there, no problem and I'm sure there where other trucks getting it now that they know how to do it.

This is what I sent,

Thanks for the credit but I was just relaying what I learned from our FTE brothers. If I could remember who I learned it from I would pass the credit to them.

 

My 13 dually has been regenning at 500 miles +\- 15 from when I bought it at 50,000 till just this summer at 81,000. Now I'm getting 3-400 miles. Nothing has changed with my driving habits at all. Fuel from all the same stations as last years. Might be time for a delete before it starts causing problems.

 

Sorry SkiSmuggs, I don't know how I missed your post of the exact same thing just a little up the page.

 

Would this be the same with the Forscan app? If not does someone have how to turn it on with the Forscan app?

 

Download the Forscan app, get an OBD2 connector and change as below:

IPC 720-01-01 **** 9*** **** DPF % Screen Enabled
IPC 720-01-01 **** 1*** **** DPF % Screen Disabled
IPC 720-01-01 **** **** E*** Force Regen Request (Disabled)
IPC 720-01-01 **** **** F*** Force Regen Request (Enabled)
IPC 720-01-01 **** **** 6*** Force Regen Request (Disabled) / Compass (Enable)
IPC 720-01-01 **** **** 7*** Force Regen Request / Compass (Enabled)

Change the "1" to a "9" and the "E" (basic screen or "6" on productivity) to an "F" (or a "7" on productivity) on the IPC as built screen. (save your factory as built config file first in case you need to reload it)

 

The forced regen doesn't work on all models, does it?

 

I think it only works when you have 100% full on gauge and are parked.
