First Regen
My truck regen'ed for the first time this morning. At least the fist time I've experienced it (just crossed 1000 miles on the ticker). I am not sure it finished by the time I got to work though. When I started out the day I noticed a sucking noise when I accelerated. I accelerate real easy so I didn't notice any power loss. If I pushed the petal a tad harder than I normally do then the sucking noise would get louder - like a vaccum cleaner but not quite as potent. The lie-o-meter fuel gauge went down to 16.2 also and stayed there all day (about 60 miles driven today). I will see if it goes back up in the morning... unless it regens again to catch up on not finishing today?
I am still surprised by the fuel economy though. I never expected to get this much so soon. The engine isn't even broke in yet!

I just went through my glove box and there is a piece in there on the 6.4L engine. It is saying that there is a "cleaning" message, or a few variations thereof, on the message center. However, I have not seen one come across. Maybe I just wasn't looking at it when the message flashed? I figured it would stay on for a while if there was one.
That having been said, I think I remember there being a firmware update somewhere along the line that stopped the messages so people wouldn't pay attention to them. Maybe I am just imagining things though... thoughts?
I am reviewing the CD right now on maintenance.

Umm.. let me check. I am not sure how accurate this will be because I am going off of what my papers say is the mileage at the time of sale as my starting miles, not what I saw on the meter. I am guessing it is close though...

Well I got 14.8 calculating it. I also reset my trip A right after I drove off the lot and I am showing about 20 miles difference between what my papers say and if I subtract the mileage I have on my trip A from the total mileage.
I just topped off the tank today and I marked down my mileage to the tenth so let me run a tank completely in my own environment and I'll let you know when I fill up the next time. I will make another thread though, we're way off the regen topic now
I also reset the average mileage when I filled up today - so far it is a hair under 16. That just includes my trip home from work and getting stuck in rush hour traffic (not my normal route, I had to go in to town today). My usual route is light traffic country roads until I get pretty close to home then its busy residential.
