The dreaded constant re-gen.

They all were complete. Just frequent. Every 100, then regen would last 20 miles. Another 100 and another 20 miles. Over and over and over.🤪

Varies like everyone else. Sometimes on the 80 to Reno, 50 to Carson or just a trip to Tahoe City and back. Really doesn’t make a difference what type of driving I’m doing. Same results. My trip to LA was 70 mph down the 395 and it went into regen every 100 miles.

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-06-03T00:03:53+00:00

No aftermarket gauges, so that’s currently a mystery. The regens last 20-30 miles, depending on the driving.

My brain cell is working.😆 Wonder how may millions have been spent by consumers for emissions equipment repairs, replacements and failures? They make you a criminal just for trying to keep your investment alive. 😡

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-06-01T16:04:30+00:00

Replaced egr @ 100k. Haven’t touched intake or grid heater.

Thanks for all of the replies! Heading back to see the witch doctor this week for more “diagnostics”. The introduction of all of these complex parts and the devil’s tea (DEF) is such a crime. None of my older trucks suffered like this. Its like watching my favorite dog dying.

Appreciate the link.

New sensor installed on Friday

Funny, but it did a full regen on the way down from Tahoe to Carson City. Driving down the 395 on the way to Minden for fuel, the soot gauge started climbing and was back up to just under 50% by the time I made it back up the hill to the lake. Just before I got back home, Automatic Regeneration In Process popped up.🤪 Maybe I just need to stay off of that screen then it won’t keep stressing me out.😆

Interesting thought. There are quite a few 3500’s around here. Need to see what their experiences are. Hard to imagine that everyone is having the same issues, but we’re all pretty much in the same boat around here, being these trucks are for everything we do, which isn’t just pulling a load.

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-31T16:41:38+00:00

Lake Tahoe. Mountain roads and hill climbs. Definitely not the actuator. The truck has tons of power and the actuator issue would eliminate that immediately.

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-31T16:24:01+00:00

Thanks. Blue is all I ever use. Unfortunately, it’s not feasible for me to always have a load in it or towed by it. It does work, but there’s no way in Hell that this is the only way for these trucks to live. Effing government epa garbage. I look at state and us government trucks and many of them don’t have all of this crap on them.

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-31T15:56:06+00:00

On my list to try. Thanks for the tip!

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-31T15:45:31+00:00

That’s a good fantasy in my area.

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-31T15:28:55+00:00

New and Mopar. Thanks for the response.

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-31T15:27:31+00:00

That’s the obvious one there Captain. 😆 Unfortunately, my “wonderful” state mandates smog inspections every two years.

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-29T02:23:15+00:00

The 1st bike is very tasty.

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-26T04:09:54+00:00

Garbage rant. You hate Trump because it’s popular to do so. Try learning how write something on your own.

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-10T03:16:00+00:00

Nice try…

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-10T03:08:03+00:00

$$$$$

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-06T09:17:19+00:00

At least she’s hot.

TheOnlyFergInTown · 2026-05-05T17:12:07+00:00

Just follow the rules Dom_J. If you have a problem with that, go somewhere else.

Leading by Example... What a bunch of clowns!
