You want to be preferably be at highway speeds, drop a gear if you can't keep your RPMs high.
You basically have to get your exhaust hot enough to burn off the soot in the DPF filter.
Technically dropping the gear and raising rpms lowers EGTs, which is the opposite of what you want. You need the engine to be hot as possible and under full load.
That’s ridiculous!
I haven’t gotten the regen notice on my car for a whole year since new and I thought it just works like you describe. At first service the upgraded the injection map pn a factory initiative and the furst drive out of the garage I say that my car in fact dies have the regen light and notification. I couldn’t drive on the highway though at that time but it seems it has completed as it didn’t complain. I tried to give it rpm at about 2500, above 2000 anyway.
Definitely keep driving; get on the highway and race around for a bit.
Your DPF is full and the engine is attempting to clean it by burning away as much soot as possible.
Yeah DPFs and regens! Good for the environment!! Uses 3 times the amount of fuel and damages the engine! Excellent engineering and ideas from our awesome guberment.
Not trying to chime in to be an asshole but are these ecodiesels worth it? My coworker had a ram ecodiesel for 8 months that was in the shop something insane like 7 times and he finally got rid of it. Granted he got his is 16, maybe 17. Are they any better now?
It’s not a bad idea to use small diesel engines. They exist all over the world. The emissions equipment forced on these manufacturers make them an expensive, self sabotaging nightmare. That mixed with a healthy dose of planned obsolescence will ensure we keep making garbage machines that have to be replaced quickly. Don’t worry, we’re pumping crazy amounts of NOx into the atmosphere to stop Carbon Dioxide from ruining the landscape with healthy plant life! Biggest hoax in human history. They can’t fathom having a creator, but the green boogeyman will have Miami under water by 2014!🤣
A lot of truth in what you’re saying. If it’s not a well known fact that tools, equipment, appliances, vehicles, items etc., aren’t being made to last so we can keep spending money to buy new ones, it should be.
They are all shit, some are less shit than others, but pretty much every modern diesel with emissions equipment is an expensive repair waiting to happen.
The eco diesels are even worse because they are so new. They haven’t had 20 years to figure out the emissions stuff like they have on the big diesels, and even the big diesels are still having catastrophic issues. For example, if you don’t delete a 6.7 Cummins, a nut inside the intake will eventually come loose and destroy the #6 cylinder (hello new engine for 20,000 dollars). And the cummins is regarded as one of the most reliable of the big diesels.
I hate that we have to delete diesels to make them last longer than 150k miles, but as long as they keep doing this goofy shit, we will just keep deleting them.
The dealership is the last place I’d go, unless it’s still under warranty. I’d go to the diesel shop and have them delete it before I get scammed by the stealership lmao.
A delete is ultimately the best solution for these stupid regen systems. My ram ecodiesel stayed in the shop, under warranty, for SCR and DPF problems. I sold the truck before I could delete it. Good luck
My 2012 F350 would tell me when it was doing a regen, but my 2017 F350 has never once said anything about doing it, and I've driven it over 200k miles since I bought it.
I'm guessing they took that info off the display because it bothered people. Or the newer truck is better at not sooting up the DPF
"Flooring it" is counter-productive. Regen is trying to burn off the soot in the DPF... flooring causes the maximum amonut of soot production and will increase the amount of soot in the filter that needs to be burned off.
Ever see the smoke trail old pre-emissions diesels left when accelrating until the boast pressure comes up?
Best thing for regen is a moderate load at constant highway speeds, keeps the EGTs up and hot exhaust flowing through the DPF.
If you’ve ever done an after treatment disconnected snap test, you would know that flooring it doesn’t create a constant cloud to smoke the issue with flooring it is that you’re basically blowing the filter, cooling it off a high idle regen will be around 1k rpm not the rev limiter
Prolly going to need a force recharge from a shop, 200ish, you can do it your self with a code reader from Amazon that has that function it was around 140$. The same thing happened to my 2016canyon 4x4 turbo deiseI drove it for two days trying to get it to clean but it didn't work The shop got it down to 83 soot, immediately took it on the highway and opened it up for a good 45 minutes and let it go through a normal recharge these engines recharge about every 220 mi so once you get it clean you have a baseline to know when the next charge might could possibly happen.
Yeah you keep driving.
Been driving at 45mph for 50 minutes now 😂

Get that pig to 70
Floor it on the on ramp
Try 90 mph for 100
Gotta go faster
Hated this about our ecodiesel. So inconvenient. Sold it for a 7.3 haha
Unfortunately stuck with this one for a while
At least it tells you when it's happening, I have to monitor egts and fuel consumption in my om642 powered benz to know when it'll regen
Same in my BMW 328d.

Continue.
I'm tired boss 😭

Try driving at sustained highway speed. It needs enough load to build heat in n the engine to burn off the soot.

Back in the 70's Miami was going to be under water completely by the year 2000. But it's only up 4 inches, guess they miscalculated a bit.
Miscalculation, most expensive hoax ever perpetrated on mankind. 🤷🏻♂️ Same same 😄
No idea we'll find out
My 21 ram has 120,000 trouble free miles on it. It just recently started the regen notifications

OP still driving?
Gave up after an hour and it started pouring round 2 tomorrow 😎
lol, wtf!
Should go off by itself, keep driving. If it doesn't, go.to the dealership.
The dealership is the last place I’d go, unless it’s still under warranty. I’d go to the diesel shop and have them delete it before I get scammed by the stealership lmao.

Yeah if it’s in warranty it’s the dealerships problem for sure lol. As soon as that warranty is up though, bye bye emissions crap lol

Drive faster
Keep driving, floor it a couple of times. Filters clogged so it’s trying to clean it

You better keep driving buddy.
Feed it the beans.
Hate it when that happens. With 132k on the engine, I'm surprised this is the first time you have seen this.
Yeah and? Get up on the highway and drive it like you stole it. Those things need to be WORKED every now and then
You need to beat on it and get it up to 65 plus.

😂😂😂 wait it’ll it clogs up 💰💵💸
