I have a 17 F350 new to me. Have a few questions about DPF. Looking for some direction here.
Yesterday left home DPF @ 85% full drove approx. 30 miles truck went into Regen. Traveled my 71 mile commute to work got to work and DPF @ 5%. Left work yesterday for my 71 mile commute @ 5% and by the time I got home DPF @ 65%. Today again left for work @ 65% got to work DPF @ 85%. Left work this afternoon @ 85% drove the 71 miles never went into regen...Got home and DPF @ 100% put truck in park dash said manual regen push OK to start it. This last 2 days watching only DPF filter percentage screen have noticed this I have had the truck for about 10 months and have never seen manual regen. Also note last 2 days are not normal as i work from home most of the time so only short hops to the store and so on 10 miles a day or so.
I have a hard time believing that @ 75 MPH and a 1:15 minute commute the DPF would go from 5% to 65% and today never went into regen at 85% and when I get home @ 100% I have to do manual regen?? Any thoughts??
My 17 goes up 5% on my 32 mile commute. Not sure why yours is like that. I have read modern diesels do not like short trips. They need to get heated up.
I use an EDGE CTS2 to monitor everything. Pretty amazing seeing the soot % because that was not available on my dodges. I always like to know when a regen starts so I can keep driving!! I am also amazed at the EGT numbers on these fords. THe post turbo will easily get to 1000 degrees like its nothing.
