2020 Regen?
Does the 2020 show when it goes into regen on the dash like my 2012? I have never seen any indication that it has did a regen in the 5800 miles that I have driven it. Also I used Forscan to have it display the % full of the DPF and it has never come off of zero. Dealer is going to look at it Monday when I bring it in for them to throw more parts at my on going electrical issues.

I had to turn it on using Forscan on my 2020. It will then show up under the maintance window as to the % of of DPF filter, when in regen it foes down about 5% a minute plus you can smell it. I also enabled Manual Regen so I didn't have to drive around for 20 minutes while the regen completes.

shutting the truck down during the regen leads to excessive oil dilution and shutting down a hot turbo.
At least let the truck idle a few minutes.

Do a lot of towing? I haven't had a regen in at least 800 miles. towing will make it passively regen.

Like many here... I know the system is suppose to do a regen every 500 miles. I currently have 2300 on mine and just experienced a regen in the last 100 miles. The only way I noticed a regen was happening, is when my MPG were going down and the truck stayed in 9th gear when usually along the same route, it drops into 10th. When I arrived home, I could smell (for the first time) a regen happend or is happening. Don't know if the regen finished or not. I'm one wanting to know everything going on with the truck so I may have to turn something on to indicate a regen.

The only way I know my truck is doing a regen is by watching the exhaust temps on my Torque phone app that's bluetoothed to the truck. Exhaust sensors 13 and 14 will show around 1100 degrees during a regen. Otherwise they go no higher than about 800 degrees, even while towing up hills.
