Diesel Pusher Blues
I have no idea what to do... We purchased just over a year ago a diesel pusher with only 32k miles, I thought what could go wrong wth a low miles engine that typically go over 1 million miles.... ...

Our '08 ISL has been back to cummins once, very early in my ownership, perhaps in spring of 2011.
Ours has 2 DPF lights, one says it wants to regen, the other says regen is in process.
Before putting the motorhome in storage that first winter, the "I want to regen" light was on, and I ignored it.
When I fired it up in the spring, the check engine light came on and it went into limp mode.
I took it to Cummins. They did a scan and showed my a very thorough printout from the engine computer. The only code was for low fuel pressure. The service writer suggested he's seen this before and we should change the fuel filter. He also advised me that if I ever saw that "I want to regen" light so much as flicker, get her on the highway and keep going at 65 until the regen happens and finishes.
So he cleared codes, loaded the current s/w into the ECM, a new fuel filter and sent me on my way.
The "I want to regen" light came on almost immediately, and I think I drove halfway across Illinois waiting for the regen cycle to finish.
30,000 miles later now, the systems operation is a little more clear. When the "I want to regen" Light comes on, I head to the nearest highway, and just drive.
