DPF % Readout
Hello,
I've read on this forum where one can get the DPF % readout turned on via either the dealer or ForScan. Since my dealer wants $85 to do it, I would rather give ForScan a try.
Has anyone done this on a 2022 using ForScan? If so, what was the process? I've used ForScan on an older truck, but to be honest it makes me a little nervous as the results seemed to introduce other issues, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

For someone like me that does a lot of short trips through town having the DPF% screen and the Auto Regen screen is handy. I have more control of when the regens actually happen. When we start traveling with the camper it won’t be as much of a concern though…

It’s also worth noting that once it hits 100% it will also allow you to park your vehicle, engage the parking brake and then begin a static regen. If you have Forscan you can also go in and enable a regen with it too. I also heard that I can enable a Regen with my Banks IDash once I’m at 90% or above but I haven’t had it long enough to check that.
But for those of us that don’t drive much or idle often, having more control of the regens is a nice option. For those that spend a lot of time on the road though it doesn’t seem to be as big of an issue.

This is the best advice. If your driving situation won't allow the DPF to clean, the truck will ping you telling you to hit the highway. I am baffled why anyone who can drive the truck in conditions that would allow it to regen would do a static regen in their driveway since you're just burning fuel sitting there doing nothing but burning that fuel to clean the DPF. Delivery vehicles driving short city runs stop and go, on and off. Those have a purpose for OCR.

Last time I towed, I ran into a situation where I left the house at 70%. Was going to be a long trip, so I thought the regen would be done before I got to where I was going. I climbed the grade, and literally 2 miles out from where I was going, I got the message that the dpf was full at 100%. Before it hit 100%, I unchecked auto regen, so I could drive the 2 miles with the full message.. Then the next day when I drove home I let it regen and it completed down to 0...
If I would have let it go into regen, I would have been in the middle of shutting off the rig when the egt's were sky high. For obvious reasons, it's not good shutting down your rig when everything is extremely hot, as you'll cook the oil in the turbo bearings...
But you guys do you. I intend on keeping the truck past the warranty...

Not so baffling...

So just because your experiences don't include the need for OCR at certain times, it doesn't mean it isn't needed by others. So not as "baffling" as one might think. Just sayin...
