2010 regen's
I have read alot about the 6.4 since buying mine, and am curious what you guys with 2010's are seeing as far as miles between regens? I know I have seen that many08-09's are regening every100-200 miles and was curious if the software on our trucks was any different...kinda asking only 2010 owners.

Mine runs 200~300miles between completed regens (those that finished while I was still driving) It'll be fewer miles between if I shut down before it's complete. Most of my driving is not freeway, nor am I towing, and I have lot's of stop-and-go and idling.
I seem to see a correlation between name brand fuel and truck stop fuel. Since I started using Diesel Kleen in my last 3K miles running truck stop fuel, regen frequency seems to have slowed down and is back to what it was when I used name brand fuel that averages $0.20~$0.30 /gal more.

My truck just completed its first cycle (that I know of) with slightly more then 1600 miles on the clock. The truck tows a 7000 lb landscape trailer a few days of the week so the mileage is prolly about 65% towing and 35% empty. 250-400 miles have been highway as well.

From what I have read it isn't easy to tell when a 2010 does a regen because of the message just displaying for a moment on the display. I have about 1300 miles on my truck, I believe I had my first regen at about 1250 miles. I haven't towed with it yet, just a 60/40 mix of highway/city driving.

at least 500km between regens, maybe more. Last one lasted 12mins. and 32 km. @ 110km/h. readout said i was getting 12 mpg during regen.

My truck would regen about every 150 miles or so. That was 60% city.

Normal driving (for me - country roads, little city) I see around 300 miles.
Add in a lot of city driving and the regens are about half. Its the accelerating that kills these - fuel mileage and regen frequency.
I can't avoid some city driving but it really burns my a$$ when I see the lie-o-meter drop to 14 somethin. I made it back to the house today at 16.5mpg after my fill-up way up north.
If I was able to top off the tank the last go around (pump cut me off at $75
) I would give you a hand-calculated #. I will cut my tank short at 1/4 next round and see where I fall. $3/gal x 25gal/tank = $75. Tank holds 30.5 gal. I guess thats less than 1/4 left, but what the hay. I'll call it good a 1/4.

It's interesting because I get the low fuel alarm at 50miles range left according to the lie-o-meter, but I can only squirt in 31gal when that happens. Are any of you guys running Diesel Kleen? I'm wondering if what I'm experiencing is all in my head or not.

I run diesel kleen in every tank, I did in my 6.0 and think it helps tremendously! I read defame requirement once and I'd thought I had read that the 6.0 was designed to run on 40 cetane fuel Nd the 64 was designed to run on 45 cetane fuel?

Yeah, the manual explicitly says 45 cetane. Here in CA, the minimum requirement supplied at the pump is 40, so I'm sure that's all we're getting and no more :-(
I sent a question to Chevron through their website a while ago asking if they add anything special (like they do with Techron and regular gas) to make their diesel different vs standard diesel straight out the refinery pipeline. I never got a response.
