Hi Guys: Taking delivery of my new Laramie 3.0 ecodiesel on Monday and was trying find as much info on the regen. cycles,my 2004 ram cummins didn't have this system so i am new to this,my typical drive to work is around 40KM/20 miles each way,now what happens when it starts a regen as i get home?? Do i forget about it as it will start to regen on my next trip? i also read that we shouldn't be idling to long with these new breed of diesels.Living on the Prairies in manitoba Canada our winters can get to -35 for weeks and you do need to warm up your truck before driving off

idleing the diesels are fine. it will regen the next time you hit highway speeds

You mean this?



Follow the mileage.


Then done.


Mine did it again at about 3,400 miles. Same pattern. Takes about 10-15 minutes. I really do not notice any difference in the way the truck runs. Did note a drop in fuel mileage during the cycles. No big deal.

Thanks for this, i read somewhere on a ecodiesel forum that you shouldn't idle them for long as they "coke up"?? i guess the DPF?
