Diesel, DPF Not Accumulating
I am on the last leg of a road trip towing our travel trailer. I just turned over 10,000 miles on the truck. I’ve noticed a couple of things the past couple of days, my fuel economy has dropped about 1.5 to 2 mpg. Secondly, I’ve been watching the DPF and noticed that it has not gone up from 0% these past two days, about 450 miles. I hooked up my ODB2 scanner no codes.
What should I be looking at or am I worrying for no reason?

It's because your truck is doing passive regeneration due to the exhaust being hot enough to burn off the soot. That is normal when towing heavy loads. Just FYI, your truck will automatically go into a regen every 500 miles or so, regardless of where you're soot level % is at.
