Fellow 6.7 owners, In April, DW & I purchased a 2015 F250 with the 6.7 diesel. Gotta say I love how it tows our trailer. Goes down the road like it is not even back there. My question is about...

Purchase an Edge Insight CTS and monitor the regens. Monitor soot loading and a red "R" is lit during regen (above the PWR letters). The Insight is only a monitor - not a programmer. I have to explain that to the techs when I have taken it in for warranty work.
During Passive regeneration with exhaust gas temperature elevated above 575 deg. F some regeneration occurs. These temperatures may be reached when the engine is under heavy load.
During Active regeneration the exhaust temperature increases to greater than 832 deg. F and the elevated temperatures converts the particulates into harmless gases and ash.
On the GMs - Ford will be similar:
Calculated Soot Mass Levels
44 grams–100% Soot Loading
1)Active regeneration commanded
54 grams –125% Soot Loading
1)Clean Filter lamp illuminates
2)Vehicle needs to be operated above 30 mph for 20 to 30 minutes . See label above visor.
70 grams –160% Soot Loading
1)P2463 Diagnostic Trouble Code(DTC)sets,
2)Reduced Engine Power,
3)Service Regeneration required
87 grams –200%Soot Loading
1)P244B DTC sets
2)Reduced engine power
3)Driving regeneration inhibited
4)Service Regeneration or DPF replacement required
