Driver bank doses fuel in the 6.7. Passenger bank is EGR and not part of the post injection dosing. Passive will happen around 575 or there about but usually is insufficient to fully clean. Active regen is every 500 miles almost regardless of how you drive. Active Regen can happen at idle if the engine is running at idle for long periods. DEF is not used for regeneration. It’s used to help clean NOx emissions, nothing more.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod , I’ve got a huge amount of data logged on that system enough to be confident it’s not going to suddenly fail on me without warning. Approaching 90k on my personal 17 and still going strong. We had fleet rigs that remained idling for months on end without a single issue.
@@joesfamilyfarm you’re correct in assuming no fuel is being dosed into the exhaust stroke (late injection) during passive regeneration. Based on your short active regen schedule, I’m going out on a limb saying you have an earlier truck 2011-2016 or possibly even 2011-2014. Regen cycles were extended in duration in 2017 to 500 miles between active cycles and typically last 20-40 minutes in duration.
I know one thing, Without this channel and Arod dropping info bombs on us on a regular basis, I might not be driving a 6.7 with 200K on the clock. That being said, Thanks ARod for sharing your Craft with us. Much Respect from #603, Live Free or Die!
I mean removing them is super easy you just replace it with a pipe the problem is you have to either alter the programming in the computer or run a standalone of some sort.
I’m a full-time RV’er who just changed to a 5th wheel and have ordered a new F-350 6.7L diesel. I’m trying to educate myself on all this emission stuff. My last vehicle was a 2005 motor coach with a 400 hp Cummins. So thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
My Peterbilt is pre-DEF and never misses a beat. Our new KW’s are fuel hogs and always needing filter cleanings and even have a manual switch for Auto/off/forced regen.
Aftertreatment is an expensive pain but I think the EGR is what is really shortening the life of new engines, sucking in unfiltered exhaust and coating intakes.
I’m so glad you told me to turn on the OCR Arod. Unfortunately, most of my driving is short trips. So now that OCR is on I do static regens on my driveway. Before OCR I had no ideal how full my filter was. Now it’s all bueno! Thxxx! 👊🏼👍🏼
I use a Banks Data Monster IDash, that can be programed to see the percentage and if the regen is active or off. I drive it then to complete the regen properly.
Same here with my 17. But I downloaded forscan to unlocked static Regen and unlocked the soot levels in the cluster. The banks is nice since it shows real time levels unlike the in cluster on only shows it in 5% intervals. But I love being able to turn off auto Regen when it gets to 100% while pulling into my drive way then doing a static or waiting until the next day then turning back on auto Regen when on the highway. I hated pulling into my neighborhood and it hits 100% and starts a Regen and I would pull back onto the road and go for a extra 20-30 min drive to let it complete.
Always enjoy your videos mane!!!! This is the one big reason holding me back from getting a newer diesel, is the emissions junk.... Still on the fence. Love the new gas 7.3, but still a diesel boi at heart. Guess if it breaks, at least I've got you to set me straight.
I’m still sitting here trying to find time to put on the scan tool and initiate the regen my truck has been abused over the last six months not driving for long distances, and that’s good information to reinitialize the PCM and TCM to let the adaptive learning go back to scratch.
Got a few drive to clean messages on my 2016 caused by short drives to the office. The OCR is now turned on which allows me to monitor and do static regen when necessary.
the DEF system and the DPF system are completely different systems for different out comes, the DPF traps Soot created from the combustion process aka unburnt fuel, and performs a regen which i do beleave is still using late post injection simular to the 6.4 powerstroke and they do NOT have an injector dumping fuel into the exhaust system, the fuel hits the Diesel oxidation Catalyist and creates heat up to 1250 degrees and burns off the Soot into Ash, now the DEF system take NOX emission that is created by high cylinder pressures and add the DEF or Amnia with NOX emissions and a chemical reaction happens within the SCR brick as long as there is Heat(which is happening at all times not just during a regen) and the output is Nitrogen and oxygen if memory serves me, the EGR system is also to help lower NOX emissions along with the SCR system by adding an inert gas to the combustion chamber and these trucks are using more def now a days to lower EGR usage and also stricter emissions ...
So let me get this straight. In order to produce less pollution we burn three times as much fuel and now at times have to drive the truck around the block a few times to keep the fuel sucking pollution system working???
2015 F350 had an engine code. The dealer replaced DEF tank heater unit. It was not reading correct ohms and put check engine lite on. 120 thou Kms on truck. Warranty thank God
One sure way I can observe my 17 is in regen is when driving a steady speed under light load when you abruptly lift off the throttle you see a small quick rise in tube boost pressure. It seems also that it boosts slightly higher than normal under throttle plus of course the hot smell.
We have a bunch of 13k lbs 4x4 forklifts that all have a def less regen. Roughly twice a day and stinks like burning crayons. The newer L series Volvos we have, use def. And are sent out at least once a year for regen issues. Fuel use around the mill has greatly increased. Had a 6.4 as a daily driver. 30km to work and back. Sorta glad the truck ended up on it's roof. Going broke putting fuel in it. Now the 6.7 with less restrictions, the glance at the fuel needles is like.. oh your still there...neat Anyone ever read their entire manuals? There's a couple paragraphs that explain these engines are designed to be intimidating to the owner and to deter from user maintenance. After this fuel saver litteraly falls apart, my next truck will be an 85 to 2002.
My 2015 F2Fiddy shows on the dash cluster that it’s running the dpf, but I typically only know it’s done when my avg fuel mileage goes back up and my rpm’s go back down slightly. Once I noticed a message that said regen complete or something to that effect. Using Archoil, or any other additive, will reduce the frequency of the regens.
I use ScanGage II. It can be configured to show all 4 EGTs, Soot Load, Regen Status, and Distance since last successful regen. My 11 starts passive regen when EGT14 is north of 500°. During active regen EGT14 hits 1200°!
Great information. Waiting patiently for my 2022 F350 6.7. It will be my first diesel, so I'll be spending some quality time here if and when it finally arrives (121 days so far, but who's counting!).
Thx for spending all this time explaining all this to us newbie's that have not owned a diesel truck before. Hoping to retire and acquire a newer 350 with 10 speed for a 5th wheel for traveling. I watch a lot of your u-tubes on ford 350's and learn the tricks & trades of stuff to add to help make the engine be better. Will you were closer to Oregon but that's life. Thanks :)
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I miss spoke above, I wished you were closer to Oregon, but that's life. Look on-line for 20-21 yr trucks to hopefully look at. Found one ('21) with 5K miles at dealership that hoping it's still there when I can pull the plug and go get it. I think the dealership utilized it for a demo truck. Thanks again. Will keep watching.
I bought a Autel MX808 specifically so I can manually regen my 2013 F450 True cab/chassis derated 6.7 everytime I take toyhauler to go camping I take scanner I also run a banks Idash so I can see my soot level iv never had to use the scanner but my basic XLT I don't have a massive center screen it usually shows soot level at 106% then it does mild burn offs
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that all of the 2017+ 6.7 PowerStroke trucks regardless of model/trim level are programmed to do “Active Regen” every 350-500miles. Of course if you do a lot of idling, that range will be greatly reduced. On my 2017 Platinum, leaving in SoCal, about 90% of my driving is highway driving above 70mph. And my truck always refers at 400miles +-. So what can we do to ensure we do more of the passive regen? Thanks!!
Hey ARod - Love the channel. Have learned a lot as an owner of s 2020 F-450 Chassis Cab. Recently we got a P221C code, so we had the shop replace the reductant heater. This fixed that code, but now we have a P24FE code, and so far the shop hasn't figured out how to get this cleared up. They tried a manual regen, cleared codes, test drove and thought it was fine. I picked up the truck, drove about 7mi and it came right back, telling me I would have reduced power in 50mi (50mph max). I am not seeing a lot of info online about this code and any associated fixes. Given your expertise do you have any thoughts on this code/fix?
See this is why I buy 99-03 7.3 powerstrokes. I shouldn't have to modify the way I drive so the truck can take care of itself. This is why everyone is running back to the 6.0 powerstroke and 7.3 cause you don't have to deal with this stuff
I want, but dont NEED a new 6.7 f250. The 7.3 will do all that i need from a 3/4 ton. I will only be putting 4-10k a year on the truck. I will tow in the city maybe once a month 50 miles 8k lb, then maybe 10k in state 200 miles 5-10 times a year, and maybe out of state 600 mile 10k once a year or so. So it wont be getting worked hard. Other than that will get mostly hwy/city miles. My question is if i will cause issues/damage/problems to the 6.7 engine by not "working" it as it is design to be used. I'll try to get good mpg, but dont mind opening her up as needed to keep things clear and free and performing well and preventing issues etc.
22 F450 7k miles. P249F CODE. Dealer replaced 2 sensors exhaust gas. What temp should the sensors read during normal driving. They are showing 470 to 550 range now.
My local dealer seemed not to know what I was talking about when I asked about turning on OCR. I think bc, here in the Chicago area, they just don't handle as many F250s or larger. Is this something I can do myself or should I make a trip to Michigan to see you?
I've heard of some sensors related to the emissions after treatment system failing with higher mileage and stranding drivers until it's towed to a dealer for replacement. Can you shed light on common failure points and part #'s for those of us who might want to keep some spare sensors on hand to not get stranded? Thanks!
Have my ocr turned on, on a 2017. Regen happens every 500 miles no matter how full the dpf is. Runs for about 30 minutes. Today it turned on with dpf filter at 55%. I have been using max mileage. Trying to extend regen cycles. The only difference has been that the Regen cycle starts at 500 miles with a half full filter. Is there a way to have the Regen cycle start when filter is , say 80%?
Ocr is nice, had to fight with dealership service manager to get it turned on. Also nice to watch your fuel history screen drop from 19 down to 11mpg 🤣
I have a 2011 is there a way to tell how much d e f is in my tank October filled it all over the place more than once thanks in advance Gary love your content .
Should be the same as a 2012. I'm sure it's in the manual so check that first if you can. If I remember this without being in my truck, Start the truck, press the info button on the steering wheel and the truck should ask on the small display if you want to press the reset button to do a system check. Press Reset, and it will then display a list of truck parameters and one of those will be if the DPF tank is over 1/2 full or under 1/2 full, or very low warnings. Good luck.
How long should you drive when you get the “cleaning exhaust filter” message? Or whatever it exactly says. I’m new to this and mine comes on occasionally but goes off right away and never says done or anything.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod The OCR lets you know the %, but not when the regen is finished. Sometimes it will go all the way to 0%, but often it will not and you don't know you're finished until you see the % start to go back up. Our 2012 F350XL DRW 4X4 Chassis Cab full enlosed 11' utility body truck regens often. Sometimes at over 100 miles, but often only 65 or 70 miles. 142k so far and the dealer told us we needed to replace the whole DPF system a little over 2 years ago. Not much improvement if any. Strange thing is we seem to do fewer and better regen cycles in the winter months when it's colder out then in the warmer months. The truck weighs at least in the 10 - 12,000 lb range everyday. Even so the truck almost never seems to work hard to pull this load, with 3.73 axle ratios, it seems to be too low in the RPM's range to keep the DPF burned out. Only around 1900 RMP on the PA Turnpike doing 70mph. Does anyone know how to get this thing to regen less often? We change the full synthetic oil often because of our concern for fuel dilution of the engine oil and added an Amsoil Bypass filter system to increase soot filtering and add oil capacity. We've never seen a truck that has such black oil. Since this truck is a work truck XL model, the display is very small and limited. I wish we could see when it is a passive versus an active regen. The static regen is a nice feature of the OCR, but it's really difficult to time that so that you can be off the road and park for 10-20 minutes, since you need to be in park, etc. and it takes a while to complete. Trying to complete a complete regen while driving is hit or miss since we can't drive 10 or 20 miles out of our way at work to complete a regen. Poor system for a work truck. Maybe if it would let us do a static regen without the truck DPF% being 100% it wouldn't be so difficult to do them more often. Any thoughts on how we can better manage the DPF system would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for many many great and informative videos ARod!
I have a 19 f250 with ocr turned for awhile with forscan but I did a regen about about 200 miles ago and my dpf gauge is still at 0% and no check engine light should I be concerned about this
New diesel owner here. I just completed a 1300 mile trip towing 6k with my 23 standard 6.7. Since I have been home I noticed the exhaust filter is staying at 0 percent. I also notice the regen smell more than before. Is this normal? No lights or messages on the dash. I also started using the Hot Shots winter EDT. Not sure if that has something to do with it. Thanks.
Thanks for video.... have a couple of questions... i currently have a F350 SRW (2018) 6.7. How do i know when it is regenning? My only guess is sometimes by fuel mileage plummets while driving to work (19 --> 13/14) and then returns to 19ish. I am guessing this is a regen cycle. Also, i just ordered a 2022 350 DRW 6.7L. In my order kit i added the manual regen option. My truck isn't a work truck, but only for towing large fifth wheel and daily driver. May consider towing RV's for a living in future, but its not a tow truck or ambulance where it is idling all the time. Was this good/bad call to have that option added.
At 10:25 into the video, you speak about the importance of letting it finish its Regen process. Here is my problem with that, how are we suppose to know when the process is finished? I hate this that it doesnt give a message saying "Regen Complete" on my F350. I did use ForScan last year to activate the passive OCR message "Drive to Clean". It will do the process, but I never know when its finished. My DPF filter Percentage screen I turned on with ForScan, and even after (assuming its finished) a regen process, my DPF Percentage screen never ever, and I mean never goes below 20%. I've never seen a 0% showing on my screen. So with that said, i dont understand why Ford dont program the PCU to at least have a "regen complete" message to the driver, and should I have a manual regen done to see if I can get my percentage to show 0%? I'm the 2nd owner, it was 4 years old with 52,000 miles on my 2016 F350 Lariat when I purchased it. I've had it a year and a half. Could it be possible the reason i dont get 0% shown on my screen when done is bc of the previous owner interrupting the process and its permanently clogged to some degree?
If you have e FORscan, there should be no reason why your not pushing a static regen with it to ensure its cleaned. Sometimes passive & active Regens are not enough
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod thanks for your response. However, I do not know how to do that nor where to go in the software with that via ForScan with my laptop. Can you possibly show us a video how-to? Thanks in advance.
Arod question for ya! On my last regen while driving I hit some traffic for a couple miles and I thought the rule was anything less than 45 mph it will interrupt this process. Well it didn’t! I had my particulate screen up and noticed the percentage kept going down. I was happy it completed because my OCD is when I need to do a regen! But what are the rules while driving. What will cause a regen to stop? By the way thank you for spreading all that knowledge!
I still don’t understand why certain applications like garbage trucks still need to meet the same strict restrictions as an on highway truck. The constant stopping and idling is hell on the dpf system. I just learned from a truck driver from Alaska that they have dpf/def systems up there as well. Like it’s already hard enough running a truck in -40 degrees let alone having to worry about doing regens and DEF freezing.
Thats why alot of garbage trucks around us are going to the cng. And those are another problem themselves. Its a lose lose situation this world is going
Need sone help here: 2016 F250, deleted, EGR unplugged but not blocked off, 200hp SDT tune, stock exhaust (drop in delete pipe), 75k miles, bought it with 7k miles. Does not consume oil or coolant. Smooth idle, great power, no CEL or funny stuff. Crank case vent is still installed. I run archoil and good diesel. Best money I have ever spent...... just one concern. After getting up to temp, a medium haze of blue smoke will spew from the tailpipe only while idling. Smells like raw diesel. It has done this ever since I deleted. Anyone else’s truck do this? I suspect tuning? Out of ideas. Been in and around these trucks/motors quite a bit, got a few of them in my fleet including my personal truck. Thanks for any help!
We know these trucks use a lot of fuel to be soot free. There is the 20-25% reduction in fuel economy just for having the system in place, as well as the fuel consumed to regen. Is all the extra CO2 that results from regens and the diminished fuel economy wirth catching the soot??? Somehow I think it would be more beneficial for these trucks to get 20mpg instead of getting 15mpg.
Can I turn OCR on with my 2011 6.7? That would be nice. It tells me when it starts regen, I see the fuel economy tank, and sometimes I smell the exhaust if I have to slow down in traffic, but I never know exactly when it’s done.
21 f350, for the first time I watched the DPF being cleaned, went to 100% then started to drop. But 15 to 20 minutes of driving back home at 70 ish wasn't enough time to complete the cleaning, pulled in the driveway at 10%. Is this a big no no, or will it just continue and finish the last 10% of cleaning on my next trip without any potential problems? Thanks
10% no problem. Its repeated stops like this at 70 80 90% & not being cognitive enough to realize the truck is in the middle of cleaning that I would be worried about....! Good question tho
2016, when doing 50+MPH at times I get a quick message Regen in Process. Doesn't tell you completed, doesn't say how long, etc. When your driving I was always told to drive until it's done on the Duramax LML we had. This truck, IDK
ARod, it seems sometimes I regenerate to 0 or 10 percent but sometimes the process stops at 25 or 30 percent. It almost seems regen time or miles driven is capped even if you don't hit 0 percent. I's a total pain in the ass but if I drive home from work and truck begins regen I keep driving around another twenty minutes or so to try and let it finish (drive to nowhere). Can't do that on the way to work though...
That’s the beauty of enabling OCR. With OCR enabled, it activates the DPF % display. When I’m approaching 85% full, I click over to “settings” and I disable “Auto Regen”. This keeps the system from going into regen without my knowledge. At about 95% full I start paying attention for the “DPF Regen Soon” message. Once that is displayed I drive home, set the parking brake (engine running of course) the follow the directions. You have to press/hold ok past 2 messages. Once second message about “your sure” is answered .. the engine kicks in high idle .. runs for 30mins .. then idles down when Regen is complete. I like to get in and drive it around then block to cool things down afterwards. Then I reactivate “settings/auto regen” and wait for the next 500/550 mile interval to next regen. The beauty and convenience of enabling OCR is the “DPF% gauge” and ability to turn off “Auto Regen”. This way … YOU control when a regens start. Whether on the highway or in your driveway or work parking lot after lunch. Like ARod said .. these things get real hot during a regen. Be sure you’re parked in a safe/open place. You don’t want to melt your buddys bumper or burn your garage down.
@@mike_adams Yes, my dealership was very cooperative about enabling ocr with the def display. Personally I would rather drive during the regen process instead of parking it and letting it roar for half an hour.
What I like about this channel ... Solid info. (have a '17 F350 Dually). I did the ForScan Mod Manual Regen shortly after delivery (and other Mods). Have a Banks Derringer and though I turned on DPF % on the Truck screen with Manual Regen option, I keep Tire Pressure up on the Truck screen all the time, ...so I have the Banks Gauges display DPF % instead. Does anyone know if turning off Auto ReGen disables the "Passive" ReGen activity also? Since I have set the Banks DPF monitor to "alert" at 90% DPF Full Status, Michael like your idea to leave the Truck settings (leaving on) Auto Regen, ... then when I get an alert at 90% full on the Banks Derringer, turn off Auto Regen on the truck settings until I am sure I can drive 30 mins at 2K RPMs, or get to a parked spot and do a stationary Manual ReGen. I will start doing this until I can figure out the Passive Regen situation with Auto Regen off.
I’ve got a 19’ F2 fitty. Just bought and currently driving cross country back up to Alaska (towing a travel trailer also). Running like a champ. Regens just fine but never goes to 0%. It usually stops at 20% or so, lowest I’ve seen is 18%. I have the edge insight cts3 for monitoring the percentage. Is this normal for it to not go down to zero or is edge insight not reading it correctly? Any info or insight appreciated.
Throw that insight in a rest stop garbage can and get Forscan. Activate your DPF% screen and deactivate auto regen so you can turn it off. Use Forscan to monitor any PID you want along with programming changes. Oh and it's much much cheaper.
New to the 6.7, my dpf filter is currently at 90%, will it start a regen at 100%? Will I get a warning its happening or about to happen? It's a 2015 xl
It will begin regen at 99% (displayed- if the engine is hot enough) and count down in increments of 5. If the weather is very cold, you can ease it around for a few miles to keep it from kicking off, but conversely if you slow down at a ramp or stoplight, the Regen may terminate early when really cold outside. I would downshift manually trying to keep my rpms above 1500 and it seemed to help. It is almost impossible to stop a Regen from kicking off in hot weather. Sometimes you just want to make it to the next day or 10 miles down the road, you know?
@@SeaPro360 I just want the first one to go smoothly so I know what to expect for the future. Obviously with 100k on the clock it's done it before but not when I've owned it. Truck is new to me
Is there any way to start a regen while driving? Like turn the option on with forescan or anything? I turned the percentage on which is helpful but I’ll take a 40 minute drive on the highway when it’s at 95% and won’t regen. It’ll then be stuck at 99% and now I’m driving around town for the next week...
If you enable OCR using forscan choose option #3. I believe it is named “OCR with regen inhibit”. That will allow you to start a regen once the DPF reaches indicated 100% capacity. That way you never get caught with 5mi left in your commute with a truck starting a inopportune regen and not completing it. However the onus is on you to do a regen before it fills to a level that puts you into limp mode putting you at the dealer for a forced regen. I’ve run mine to 130% a few times without issues. However most times I’m doing it at 105-110%. 2020 F350 KR.
My 2016 f-350 had the messages once a week it was more than aggravating. My 2020 with 15000 mile on it has yet To alert me of anything but low tire pressure. A resent 7000 mile trip I did use 17 gallons of exhaust fluid while towing my 12000 camper was nice not to see any messages.
Anyone know anything about the P2002 code. I’ve done the manual regen and the CEL/MIL went off and now back on. I would consider the truck use city more than hwy. truck just reaches operating temps and maybe 15 minutes past before arriving to job site and turning it on and off through the day to relocate. I’m not real clear on what the usage of the trucks is supposed to be as it seems only hwy use fairs them well. I also understand there to be an issue with the dpf cracking prematurely via a TSB I found covering a few years. I’ve been doing oil test and all is well except 10% fuel dilution on regular oil intervals 5-7k. My understanding is these engines and pretty much any engine is designed to get to operating temps and maintain those temps for some time thus mitigating some of the fuel in oil upon startup via chemistry and heat. I don’t interrupt any cleaning cycles however I don’t feel it’s getting the best “dpf plan” given what we all know about the systems. In other words it sees a to take some pretty ideal conditions that most don’t sustain for a full burnoff. Any insight in this code and can we look at inlet and outlet pressures via FORScan to see if we have a crack or leak. I don’t know what the values should be.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod troubleshooting is not the art of replacing a bad or worn part, it is finding out what led to that premature failure and adjusting in balance. I’m pretty disappointed in the vague reply being that answer leads to replacing the scr every 70k miles. It may be one unit but it’s not all the same, scr reduces NOx and dpf reduces soot. More soot occurs at low temps and more NOx at high combustion temps. I apologize if my previous comment bothered you on the water separator for whatever reason, it’s kinda hard to watch y’all, drain 1/3 tank of diesel taking the filter out. Dude I’ve seen the best including myself do silly stuff while building or working on cars, who cares. I’ve seen much one respectful answers from you to others which makes me beg the question. If you don’t know values for the pressures or don’t have time to dive into stuff like that it’s cool bro, reference someone else for me to ask, but having an answer that drains the bank account when everything checks out via my comment, it just makes ya wonder. Understanding them difference in scr vs dpf is very important and both can be cleaned up to a certain point which is why I reached out for further knowledge on the fords doing this. Due if you said that to diesel podcast they would cringe. It was an unhelpful comment my friend and I’ve doted on you quiet a bit to others. We’re on here to help each other so if there’s a better place to have a discussion about this or get info on it just say it
Was driving on Ford Transit and first got Trouble with emission system after 25 thousand miles and 5 times more until I sold that garbage it’s killing for your truck system 😀
Pretty sure a properly tuned truck shouldn't need all of these emissions systems onboard. The injection system and controls on new trucks are so far ahead of the old smokers of decades ago. It's a solution in search of a problem. And there are only those who've had emissions problems and those who will have them.
Got to wonder what getting parts for all this complicated exhaust equipment that's great on plugging your engine on the exhaust-side, is going to be like, oh 10, 20 years down the road. I can understand why say, places like California with some unique geographic features would require this nonsense on vehicles. For the rest of us, this unreliable equipment that hurts reliability, efficiency, and costs and arm\leg to work on or replace, I just don't see the need.
Driver bank doses fuel in the 6.7. Passenger bank is EGR and not part of the post injection dosing. Passive will happen around 575 or there about but usually is insufficient to fully clean. Active regen is every 500 miles almost regardless of how you drive. Active Regen can happen at idle if the engine is running at idle for long periods. DEF is not used for regeneration. It’s used to help clean NOx emissions, nothing more.

@@joesfamilyfarm you’re correct in assuming no fuel is being dosed into the exhaust stroke (late injection) during passive regeneration. Based on your short active regen schedule, I’m going out on a limb saying you have an earlier truck 2011-2016 or possibly even 2011-2014. Regen cycles were extended in duration in 2017 to 500 miles between active cycles and typically last 20-40 minutes in duration.
Turn off auto regen and you can go beyond 500 miles without a regen.

I’m a full-time RV’er who just changed to a 5th wheel and have ordered a new F-350 6.7L diesel. I’m trying to educate myself on all this emission stuff. My last vehicle was a 2005 motor coach with a 400 hp Cummins. So thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
"We are fine tuning this with all this DEF stuff."
Very technical talk indeed. Nice detail.
My Peterbilt is pre-DEF and never misses a beat. Our new KW’s are fuel hogs and always needing filter cleanings and even have a manual switch for Auto/off/forced regen.
No regen on the 7.3. That's why I love it!
Ding ding ding
Aftertreatment is an expensive pain but I think the EGR is what is really shortening the life of new engines, sucking in unfiltered exhaust and coating intakes.
Keep in mind the pickups and chassis cabs have the SCR and DPF in inverted positions (Y) just to keep things interesting
Great 6.7 exhaust system explanation! Thanks again ARod 👍🏻
I’m so glad you told me to turn on the OCR Arod. Unfortunately, most of my driving is short trips. So now that OCR is on I do static regens on my driveway. Before OCR I had no ideal how full my filter was. Now it’s all bueno! Thxxx!
👊🏼👍🏼
Love it broski!!
can you plz explain what OCR is?
Watch our OCR videos
I use a Banks Data Monster IDash, that can be programed to see the percentage and if the regen is active or off. I drive it then to complete the regen properly.
Same here with my 17. But I downloaded forscan to unlocked static Regen and unlocked the soot levels in the cluster. The banks is nice since it shows real time levels unlike the in cluster on only shows it in 5% intervals. But I love being able to turn off auto Regen when it gets to 100% while pulling into my drive way then doing a static or waiting until the next day then turning back on auto Regen when on the highway. I hated pulling into my neighborhood and it hits 100% and starts a Regen and I would pull back onto the road and go for a extra 20-30 min drive to let it complete.
Always enjoy your videos mane!!!! This is the one big reason holding me back from getting a newer diesel, is the emissions junk.... Still on the fence. Love the new gas 7.3, but still a diesel boi at heart. Guess if it breaks, at least I've got you to set me straight.
Another great video. I am learning so much from you without lengthy intros about Fluffy the cat. Best automotive channel.
Bro, welcome to the family!!!!
You said it. The info to BS ratio is at a maximum on this channel
wouldn't be so bad if that filter could be taken out and cleaned like a big removable can most times replaced with a empty can 🤗
I’m still sitting here trying to find time to put on the scan tool and initiate the regen my truck has been abused over the last six months not driving for long distances, and that’s good information to reinitialize the PCM and TCM to let the adaptive learning go back to scratch.
Got a few drive to clean messages on my 2016 caused by short drives to the office. The OCR is now turned on which allows me to monitor and do static regen when necessary.
the DEF system and the DPF system are completely different systems for different out comes, the DPF traps Soot created from the combustion process aka unburnt fuel, and performs a regen which i do beleave is still using late post injection simular to the 6.4 powerstroke and they do NOT have an injector dumping fuel into the exhaust system, the fuel hits the Diesel oxidation Catalyist and creates heat up to 1250 degrees and burns off the Soot into Ash, now the DEF system take NOX emission that is created by high cylinder pressures and add the DEF or Amnia with NOX emissions and a chemical reaction happens within the SCR brick as long as there is Heat(which is happening at all times not just during a regen) and the output is Nitrogen and oxygen if memory serves me, the EGR system is also to help lower NOX emissions along with the SCR system by adding an inert gas to the combustion chamber and these trucks are using more def now a days to lower EGR usage and also stricter emissions ...
Thank u
So let me get this straight. In order to produce less pollution we burn three times as much fuel and now at times have to drive the truck around the block a few times to keep the fuel sucking pollution system working???
I know brotha, we just gotta follow the rules
2015 F350 had an engine code. The dealer replaced DEF tank heater unit. It was not reading correct ohms and put check engine lite on. 120 thou Kms on truck. Warranty thank God
One sure way I can observe my 17 is in regen is when driving a steady speed under light load when you abruptly lift off the throttle you see a small quick rise in tube boost pressure. It seems also that it boosts slightly higher than normal under throttle plus of course the hot smell.
Hot like somethins cookin
We have a bunch of 13k lbs 4x4 forklifts that all have a def less regen. Roughly twice a day and stinks like burning crayons. The newer L series Volvos we have, use def. And are sent out at least once a year for regen issues.
Fuel use around the mill has greatly increased.
Had a 6.4 as a daily driver. 30km to work and back. Sorta glad the truck ended up on it's roof. Going broke putting fuel in it.
Now the 6.7 with less restrictions, the glance at the fuel needles is like.. oh your still there...neat
Anyone ever read their entire manuals? There's a couple paragraphs that explain these engines are designed to be intimidating to the owner and to deter from user maintenance.
After this fuel saver litteraly falls apart, my next truck will be an 85 to 2002.
My 2019 never went into regen once. It was permanently fixed with 50 miles on it.
My 2015 F2Fiddy shows on the dash cluster that it’s running the dpf, but I typically only know it’s done when my avg fuel mileage goes back up and my rpm’s go back down slightly. Once I noticed a message that said regen complete or something to that effect. Using Archoil, or any other additive, will reduce the frequency of the regens.
I use ScanGage II. It can be configured to show all 4 EGTs, Soot Load, Regen Status, and Distance since last successful regen.
My 11 starts passive regen when EGT14 is north of 500°. During active regen EGT14 hits 1200°!
Nice
I have a 2011 f250 super duty King ranch edition
Great information. Waiting patiently for my 2022 F350 6.7. It will be my first diesel, so I'll be spending some quality time here if and when it finally arrives (121 days so far, but who's counting!).
It seems like a good idea once a month or so to take my '19 450 on the highway for an "Italian tune up". For the environment. 😊
Thx for spending all this time explaining all this to us newbie's that have not owned a diesel truck before. Hoping to retire and acquire a newer 350 with 10 speed for a 5th wheel for traveling. I watch a lot of your u-tubes on ford 350's and learn the tricks & trades of stuff to add to help make the engine be better. Will you were closer to Oregon but that's life. Thanks :)
Juss had a couple from THERE come thru with their brand new 2024
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I miss spoke above, I wished you were closer to Oregon, but that's life. Look on-line for 20-21 yr trucks to hopefully look at. Found one ('21) with 5K miles at dealership that hoping it's still there when I can pull the plug and go get it. I think the dealership utilized it for a demo truck. Thanks again. Will keep watching.
I bought a Autel MX808 specifically so I can manually regen my 2013 F450 True cab/chassis derated 6.7 everytime I take toyhauler to go camping I take scanner I also run a banks Idash so I can see my soot level iv never had to use the scanner but my basic XLT I don't have a massive center screen it usually shows soot level at 106% then it does mild burn offs
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that all of the 2017+ 6.7 PowerStroke trucks regardless of model/trim level are programmed to do “Active Regen” every 350-500miles. Of course if you do a lot of idling, that range will be greatly reduced. On my 2017 Platinum, leaving in SoCal, about 90% of my driving is highway driving above 70mph. And my truck always refers at 400miles +-. So what can we do to ensure we do more of the passive regen? Thanks!!
My 6.7 bucket truck has option to do manuel regents too
Hey ARod - Love the channel. Have learned a lot as an owner of s 2020 F-450 Chassis Cab. Recently we got a P221C code, so we had the shop replace the reductant heater. This fixed that code, but now we have a P24FE code, and so far the shop hasn't figured out how to get this cleared up. They tried a manual regen, cleared codes, test drove and thought it was fine. I picked up the truck, drove about 7mi and it came right back, telling me I would have reduced power in 50mi (50mph max).
I am not seeing a lot of info online about this code and any associated fixes. Given your expertise do you have any thoughts on this code/fix?
I need to find a 7.3 hoss! Gonna keep my 6.7 for towin, and the 7.3 as my future grocery getter 🤟🏼😅
See this is why I buy 99-03 7.3 powerstrokes. I shouldn't have to modify the way I drive so the truck can take care of itself. This is why everyone is running back to the 6.0 powerstroke and 7.3 cause you don't have to deal with this stuff
Great video! I’ll be seeing you soon👍
Yes there is an osr function I wanna turn on for you additionally
I want, but dont NEED a new 6.7 f250. The 7.3 will do all that i need from a 3/4 ton. I will only be putting 4-10k a year on the truck. I will tow in the city maybe once a month 50 miles 8k lb, then maybe 10k in state 200 miles 5-10 times a year, and maybe out of state 600 mile 10k once a year or so. So it wont be getting worked hard. Other than that will get mostly hwy/city miles. My question is if i will cause issues/damage/problems to the 6.7 engine by not "working" it as it is design to be used. I'll try to get good mpg, but dont mind opening her up as needed to keep things clear and free and performing well and preventing issues etc.
Watching all of this is so exhausting 😊
5:08, that's why mpg sucks on emissions compliant 350/250s.
22 F450 7k miles. P249F CODE.
Dealer replaced 2 sensors exhaust gas. What temp should the sensors read during normal driving. They are showing 470 to 550 range now.
Thanks, great, understandable explanation of this process!
Can you make more videos on the f750 please 🤙my company has 7 of these 🦒
My local dealer seemed not to know what I was talking about when I asked about turning on OCR. I think bc, here in the Chicago area, they just don't handle as many F250s or larger. Is this something I can do myself or should I make a trip to Michigan to see you?
Email us buddy!!!!! Video description
My DPF fell off in a horrible off roading accident.😏
Gosh I hope your OK I know those neck braces can be real cumbersome
I've heard of some sensors related to the emissions after treatment system failing with higher mileage and stranding drivers until it's towed to a dealer for replacement. Can you shed light on common failure points and part #'s for those of us who might want to keep some spare sensors on hand to not get stranded? Thanks!
My EGR was deleted and taken off how do I get one to put it back on the truck
Have my ocr turned on, on a 2017. Regen happens every 500 miles no matter how full the dpf is. Runs for about 30 minutes. Today it turned on with dpf filter at 55%. I have been using max mileage. Trying to extend regen cycles. The only difference has been that the Regen cycle starts at 500 miles with a half full filter. Is there a way to have the Regen cycle start when filter is , say 80%?
Naw sure isnt
Is it a crazy idea to think if you parked your truck in the right way you could probably melt the snow off your driveway on ocr
Interesting information. Do you ever see those 3.0 Powerstroke diesel F-150s?
Thank you, yes unfortunately I do not get to choose what I see....ie..they ALL come thru...as in Powerstrokes
Good information ARod thanks
Ocr is nice, had to fight with dealership service manager to get it turned on. Also nice to watch your fuel history screen drop from 19 down to 11mpg 🤣
Lolololol
I have a 2011 is there a way to tell how much d e f is in my tank October filled it all over the place more than once thanks in advance Gary love your content .
If u had a scan tool or something like the Banks iDash
Should be the same as a 2012. I'm sure it's in the manual so check that first if you can. If I remember this without being in my truck, Start the truck, press the info button on the steering wheel and the truck should ask on the small display if you want to press the reset button to do a system check. Press Reset, and it will then display a list of truck parameters and one of those will be if the DPF tank is over 1/2 full or under 1/2 full, or very low warnings. Good luck.
How long should you drive when you get the “cleaning exhaust filter” message? Or whatever it exactly says. I’m new to this and mine comes on occasionally but goes off right away and never says done or anything.
U need to get OCR turned on so u have a better idea
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod The OCR lets you know the %, but not when the regen is finished. Sometimes it will go all the way to 0%, but often it will not and you don't know you're finished until you see the % start to go back up. Our 2012 F350XL DRW 4X4 Chassis Cab full enlosed 11' utility body truck regens often. Sometimes at over 100 miles, but often only 65 or 70 miles. 142k so far and the dealer told us we needed to replace the whole DPF system a little over 2 years ago. Not much improvement if any. Strange thing is we seem to do fewer and better regen cycles in the winter months when it's colder out then in the warmer months. The truck weighs at least in the 10 - 12,000 lb range everyday.
Even so the truck almost never seems to work hard to pull this load, with 3.73 axle ratios, it seems to be too low in the RPM's range to keep the DPF burned out. Only around 1900 RMP on the PA Turnpike doing 70mph. Does anyone know how to get this thing to regen less often? We change the full synthetic oil often because of our concern for fuel dilution of the engine oil and added an Amsoil Bypass filter system to increase soot filtering and add oil capacity. We've never seen a truck that has such black oil.
Since this truck is a work truck XL model, the display is very small and limited. I wish we could see when it is a passive versus an active regen.
The static regen is a nice feature of the OCR, but it's really difficult to time that so that you can be off the road and park for 10-20 minutes, since you need to be in park, etc. and it takes a while to complete. Trying to complete a complete regen while driving is hit or miss since we can't drive 10 or 20 miles out of our way at work to complete a regen. Poor system for a work truck. Maybe if it would let us do a static regen without the truck DPF% being 100% it wouldn't be so difficult to do them more often.
Any thoughts on how we can better manage the DPF system would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for many many great and informative videos ARod!
I have a 19 f250 with ocr turned for awhile with forscan but I did a regen about about 200 miles ago and my dpf gauge is still at 0% and no check engine light should I be concerned about this
I wish they made a performance DPF filter. Bully dog made one for a while but not for a Ford.
Or a high flowing Is catalytic converter for the 6.7 just like the 7.3 used
Yea no
New diesel owner here. I just completed a 1300 mile trip towing 6k with my 23 standard 6.7. Since I have been home I noticed the exhaust filter is staying at 0 percent. I also notice the regen smell more than before. Is this normal? No lights or messages on the dash. I also started using the Hot Shots winter EDT. Not sure if that has something to do with it. Thanks.
....i am confised...are you questioning the smell??
Great info dude! Thank you!
Thanks for video.... have a couple of questions... i currently have a F350 SRW (2018) 6.7. How do i know when it is regenning? My only guess is sometimes by fuel mileage plummets while driving to work (19 --> 13/14) and then returns to 19ish. I am guessing this is a regen cycle. Also, i just ordered a 2022 350 DRW 6.7L. In my order kit i added the manual regen option. My truck isn't a work truck, but only for towing large fifth wheel and daily driver. May consider towing RV's for a living in future, but its not a tow truck or ambulance where it is idling all the time. Was this good/bad call to have that option added.
Brother, that's a great option. Did you watch my OCR videos. You might wanna email me to discuss further
At 10:25 into the video, you speak about the importance of letting it finish its Regen process. Here is my problem with that, how are we suppose to know when the process is finished? I hate this that it doesnt give a message saying "Regen Complete" on my F350. I did use ForScan last year to activate the passive OCR message "Drive to Clean". It will do the process, but I never know when its finished. My DPF filter Percentage screen I turned on with ForScan, and even after (assuming its finished) a regen process, my DPF Percentage screen never ever, and I mean never goes below 20%. I've never seen a 0% showing on my screen. So with that said, i dont understand why Ford dont program the PCU to at least have a "regen complete" message to the driver, and should I have a manual regen done to see if I can get my percentage to show 0%? I'm the 2nd owner, it was 4 years old with 52,000 miles on my 2016 F350 Lariat when I purchased it. I've had it a year and a half. Could it be possible the reason i dont get 0% shown on my screen when done is bc of the previous owner interrupting the process and its permanently clogged to some degree?
If you have e FORscan, there should be no reason why your not pushing a static regen with it to ensure its cleaned. Sometimes passive & active Regens are not enough
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod thanks for your response. However, I do not know how to do that nor where to go in the software with that via ForScan with my laptop. Can you possibly show us a video how-to? Thanks in advance.
Arod question for ya! On my last regen while driving I hit some traffic for a couple miles and I thought the rule was anything less than 45 mph it will interrupt this process. Well it didn’t! I had my particulate screen up and noticed the percentage kept going down. I was happy it completed because my OCD is when I need to do a regen! But what are the rules while driving. What will cause a regen to stop? By the way thank you for spreading all that knowledge!
It has to be stopped for a given amount of time. U musta just kept it in the sweet spot
Arod I like these videos you explain perfect 👌
I still don’t understand why certain applications like garbage trucks still need to meet the same strict restrictions as an on highway truck. The constant stopping and idling is hell on the dpf system. I just learned from a truck driver from Alaska that they have dpf/def systems up there as well. Like it’s already hard enough running a truck in -40 degrees let alone having to worry about doing regens and DEF freezing.
-40F I don't even know what I'd do....
Thats why alot of garbage trucks around us are going to the cng. And those are another problem themselves. Its a lose lose situation this world is going
At -40, truck doesn't get turned off, or has plug in heaters. I have friends in Alaska. Even cop cars are left running 24/7 in places.
Thanks for explaining this! 94k on mine and no problems yet. Knock on wood 🙈

🫂🫂🫂💯💯💯
Need sone help here: 2016 F250, deleted, EGR unplugged but not blocked off, 200hp SDT tune, stock exhaust (drop in delete pipe), 75k miles, bought it with 7k miles. Does not consume oil or coolant. Smooth idle, great power, no CEL or funny stuff. Crank case vent is still installed. I run archoil and good diesel. Best money I have ever spent...... just one concern. After getting up to temp, a medium haze of blue smoke will spew from the tailpipe only while idling. Smells like raw diesel. It has done this ever since I deleted. Anyone else’s truck do this? I suspect tuning? Out of ideas. Been in and around these trucks/motors quite a bit, got a few of them in my fleet including my personal truck. Thanks for any help!
We know these trucks use a lot of fuel to be soot free. There is the 20-25% reduction in fuel economy just for having the system in place, as well as the fuel consumed to regen. Is all the extra CO2 that results from regens and the diminished fuel economy wirth catching the soot??? Somehow I think it would be more beneficial for these trucks to get 20mpg instead of getting 15mpg.
What do you recommend for fuel additives during winter months and jelling of fuel that wont effect the dpf system.
Hotshots or amsoil
Did my every two week regen yesterday 😣😐😔🤬🤬🤬
Hey buddy!!!🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod wazzzzup
Can I turn OCR on with my 2011 6.7? That would be nice. It tells me when it starts regen, I see the fuel economy tank, and sometimes I smell the exhaust if I have to slow down in traffic, but I never know exactly when it’s done.
Yes sum
21 f350, for the first time I watched the DPF being cleaned, went to 100% then started to drop. But 15 to 20 minutes of driving back home at 70 ish wasn't enough time to complete the cleaning, pulled in the driveway at 10%. Is this a big no no, or will it just continue and finish the last 10% of cleaning on my next trip without any potential problems?
Thanks
10% no problem. Its repeated stops like this at 70 80 90% & not being cognitive enough to realize the truck is in the middle of cleaning that I would be worried about....! Good question tho
How is OCR turned on?
Scan tool, watch our 3 OCR videos
Sweet truck brother
2016, when doing 50+MPH at times I get a quick message Regen in Process. Doesn't tell you completed, doesn't say how long, etc. When your driving I was always told to drive until it's done on the Duramax LML we had. This truck, IDK
U shld turn on the dpf % in ur cluster
ARod, it seems sometimes I regenerate to 0 or 10 percent but sometimes the process stops at 25 or 30 percent. It almost seems regen time or miles driven is capped even if you don't hit 0 percent.
I's a total pain in the ass but if I drive home from work and truck begins regen I keep driving around another twenty minutes or so to try and let it finish (drive to nowhere). Can't do that on the way to work though...
Lol, i totally feel ya...deal with the same shizzzz...thank goodness for Forscan...videos on how-to coming soon
That’s the beauty of enabling OCR. With OCR enabled, it activates the DPF % display. When I’m approaching 85% full, I click over to “settings” and I disable “Auto Regen”. This keeps the system from going into regen without my knowledge. At about 95% full I start paying attention for the “DPF Regen Soon” message. Once that is displayed I drive home, set the parking brake (engine running of course) the follow the directions. You have to press/hold ok past 2 messages. Once second message about “your sure” is answered .. the engine kicks in high idle .. runs for 30mins .. then idles down when Regen is complete. I like to get in and drive it around then block to cool things down afterwards. Then I reactivate “settings/auto regen” and wait for the next 500/550 mile interval to next regen.
The beauty and convenience of enabling OCR is the “DPF% gauge” and ability to turn off “Auto Regen”. This way … YOU control when a regens start. Whether on the highway or in your driveway or work parking lot after lunch.
Like ARod said .. these things get real hot during a regen. Be sure you’re parked in a safe/open place. You don’t want to melt your buddys bumper or burn your garage down.
Thank u Michael
@@mike_adams Yes, my dealership was very cooperative about enabling ocr with the def display. Personally I would rather drive during the regen process instead of parking it and letting it roar for half an hour.
What I like about this channel ... Solid info. (have a '17 F350 Dually). I did the ForScan Mod Manual Regen shortly after delivery (and other Mods). Have a Banks Derringer and though I turned on DPF % on the Truck screen with Manual Regen option, I keep Tire Pressure up on the Truck screen all the time, ...so I have the Banks Gauges display DPF % instead.
Does anyone know if turning off Auto ReGen disables the "Passive" ReGen activity also?
Since I have set the Banks DPF monitor to "alert" at 90% DPF Full Status, Michael like your idea to leave the Truck settings (leaving on) Auto Regen, ... then when I get an alert at 90% full on the Banks Derringer, turn off Auto Regen on the truck settings until I am sure I can drive 30 mins at 2K RPMs, or get to a parked spot and do a stationary Manual ReGen. I will start doing this until I can figure out the Passive Regen situation with Auto Regen off.
Good luck 👍
I’ve got a 19’ F2 fitty. Just bought and currently driving cross country back up to Alaska (towing a travel trailer also). Running like a champ. Regens just fine but never goes to 0%. It usually stops at 20% or so, lowest I’ve seen is 18%. I have the edge insight cts3 for monitoring the percentage. Is this normal for it to not go down to zero or is edge insight not reading it correctly? Any info or insight appreciated.
You could try manual regen
Throw that insight in a rest stop garbage can and get Forscan. Activate your DPF% screen and deactivate auto regen so you can turn it off. Use Forscan to monitor any PID you want along with programming changes. Oh and it's much much cheaper.
you guys still run dpf and egr on your trucks? I took that spaceship off the day I bought it new 2017 f250
Have you gotten any of the recalls fix in your rig? There’s 2 recall.
.......which do u talk about
Recall 21b03 and recall 20c19 it’s all 2020 super duty
Been putting it out as the dealer says might take couple days up to a week. Only have 1600 miles on mine.
I duno what ur talking about Bryan...
21B03 is NOT a recall fyi...
ARod on my 12 model can ocr be turned on with my truck?
Yes sir
New to the 6.7, my dpf filter is currently at 90%, will it start a regen at 100%? Will I get a warning its happening or about to happen? It's a 2015 xl
It will. It may display the drive to clean exhaust
It will begin regen at 99% (displayed- if the engine is hot enough) and count down in increments of 5. If the weather is very cold, you can ease it around for a few miles to keep it from kicking off, but conversely if you slow down at a ramp or stoplight, the Regen may terminate early when really cold outside. I would downshift manually trying to keep my rpms above 1500 and it seemed to help. It is almost impossible to stop a Regen from kicking off in hot weather. Sometimes you just want to make it to the next day or 10 miles down the road, you know?
@@SeaPro360 I just want the first one to go smoothly so I know what to expect for the future. Obviously with 100k on the clock it's done it before but not when I've owned it. Truck is new to me
Is there any way to start a regen while driving? Like turn the option on with forescan or anything? I turned the percentage on which is helpful but I’ll take a 40 minute drive on the highway when it’s at 95% and won’t regen. It’ll then be stuck at 99% and now I’m driving around town for the next week...
Do but u cld just stop wasting time and just do a manual regen when u get home with ur scan tool
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod so there’s no menu option to do it? I just want to do it to prevent problems until my warranty is up...
While driving normally, no. Driving w/scan tool yes
If you enable OCR using forscan choose option #3. I believe it is named “OCR with regen inhibit”. That will allow you to start a regen once the DPF reaches indicated 100% capacity. That way you never get caught with 5mi left in your commute with a truck starting a inopportune regen and not completing it. However the onus is on you to do a regen before it fills to a level that puts you into limp mode putting you at the dealer for a forced regen. I’ve run mine to 130% a few times without issues. However most times I’m doing it at 105-110%. 2020 F350 KR.
Thanks for sharing
That stuff smells so bad.. how do I turn that on ? Or check it
Dang so if I’m idling then I’m going to build up crap
My God, I’m glad my 04 doesn’t have me dealing with this…
My 2016 f-350 had the messages once a week it was more than aggravating. My 2020 with 15000 mile on it has yet
To alert me of anything but low tire pressure. A resent 7000 mile trip I did use 17 gallons of exhaust fluid while towing my 12000 camper was nice not to see any messages.
You need to get OCR turned on
OCR ?
Go to my playlists & look it up. I have 3 videos for each year change
My 2020 has never told me it was regenerating, Just returned from a 2000 mile trip with no regen. If it had regenerate I would like to have known
The regen in process display isn’t on very long on my 2016. Wish it was on till either it was done or I pressed OK.
Ocr
Anyone know anything about the P2002 code. I’ve done the manual regen and the CEL/MIL went off and now back on. I would consider the truck use city more than hwy. truck just reaches operating temps and maybe 15 minutes past before arriving to job site and turning it on and off through the day to relocate. I’m not real clear on what the usage of the trucks is supposed to be as it seems only hwy use fairs them well. I also understand there to be an issue with the dpf cracking prematurely via a TSB I found covering a few years. I’ve been doing oil test and all is well except 10% fuel dilution on regular oil intervals 5-7k. My understanding is these engines and pretty much any engine is designed to get to operating temps and maintain those temps for some time thus mitigating some of the fuel in oil upon startup via chemistry and heat. I don’t interrupt any cleaning cycles however I don’t feel it’s getting the best “dpf plan” given what we all know about the systems. In other words it sees a to take some pretty ideal conditions that most don’t sustain for a full burnoff. Any insight in this code and can we look at inlet and outlet pressures via FORScan to see if we have a crack or leak. I don’t know what the values should be.
Time for a a catalyst
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod at 70k miles? I care for this truck like your million mile 6.7 you had in a while back. And by catalyst you mean the SCR?
Yepp cat scr dof are all the same tbing
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod troubleshooting is not the art of replacing a bad or worn part, it is finding out what led to that premature failure and adjusting in balance. I’m pretty disappointed in the vague reply being that answer leads to replacing the scr every 70k miles. It may be one unit but it’s not all the same, scr reduces NOx and dpf reduces soot. More soot occurs at low temps and more NOx at high combustion temps. I apologize if my previous comment bothered you on the water separator for whatever reason, it’s kinda hard to watch y’all, drain 1/3 tank of diesel taking the filter out. Dude I’ve seen the best including myself do silly stuff while building or working on cars, who cares. I’ve seen much one respectful answers from you to others which makes me beg the question. If you don’t know values for the pressures or don’t have time to dive into stuff like that it’s cool bro, reference someone else for me to ask, but having an answer that drains the bank account when everything checks out via my comment, it just makes ya wonder. Understanding them difference in scr vs dpf is very important and both can be cleaned up to a certain point which is why I reached out for further knowledge on the fords doing this. Due if you said that to diesel podcast they would cringe. It was an unhelpful comment my friend and I’ve doted on you quiet a bit to others. We’re on here to help each other so if there’s a better place to have a discussion about this or get info on it just say it
You clearly missed the point in my short comment. If you want diag time, email us or bring me the truck........................
Fun fact I lost my def system and egr in a boating accident…
What must have been going through the mind of the guy
who discovered that DEF (UREA - cow piss) made diesel
engines burn cleaner?
!
Lets talk about.... Unbolting that junk.. and throwing it in the trash. Then talk about the benefits to that.
You might find those troubling issues that you mention over on that there Whistlin' Diesels channel
dam sure wouldnt want ant of that shit in wheat /corn /bean havest great wild fire starter .
Was driving on Ford Transit and first got Trouble with emission system after 25 thousand miles and 5 times more until I sold that garbage it’s killing for your truck system 😀
Pretty sure a properly tuned truck shouldn't need all of these emissions systems onboard. The injection system and controls on new trucks are so far ahead of the old smokers of decades ago. It's a solution in search of a problem. And there are only those who've had emissions problems and those who will have them.
Got to wonder what getting parts for all this complicated exhaust equipment that's great on plugging your engine on the exhaust-side, is going to be like, oh 10, 20 years down the road. I can understand why say, places like California with some unique geographic features would require this nonsense on vehicles. For the rest of us, this unreliable equipment that hurts reliability, efficiency, and costs and arm\leg to work on or replace, I just don't see the need.
THOUSANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! For aftertreament repairs😔😔
Yowsers!
When My Def tank gets low I smell amonia
Just delete it!
Just drive on a bumpy roads. If parts fall off it's not your fault.
Cut all that nonsense off
