If I use a 15 minute warm up in the morning, and same as a cool down at night, and some time at the fuel pumps, drive 10-11 hours mine usually shows about 15% idle for the day. So keep that in mind for your situation. prior to the lights coming on and going to the dealer were you on a long drive, long idle, what was the scenario?
Wow, that does not seem like a high idle time. I do not drive anywhere near those hours. Three to five hours a day is enough. I leave it idling during fuel stops which don't take long in the truck lanes.
I wonder if the IDLE thing means time between engine runs. I only have about 35K miles in 7 years so do not drive long distances.
The issue started right after refueling at a tiny mom and pop station. I'm wondering if they got some crappy fuel or maybe some off road fuel?
It tried to regen right after that but we were on small winding roads and just could not get up to highway speeds. Hindsite I should have pulled over and and run it up.
Based on their metal recycle bin I am not the only one who has had issues. There were several filters in the trash.
