Hey guys,
I've posted before about my disgust with the whole regen process that my truck has to go through. Still can't believe that is the best they can do. Having said that, a more specific question for all of you who may have '08 or '09 trucks. Sometimes (maybe 50% of the time) the first sign that I have that the truck is in regen cycle is that I'm smoking the guy behind me with a big cloud of smoke. It only lasts for a few seconds when the regen cycle is starting. Then I see that the EGT temps go up to 1100-1200 degrees and I know I'm in regen. My question is about the smoke. It is extremely embarrassing and I just want to know if this is typical. Do you guys see the big puff of smoke when the regen cycle starts or is this something that should concern me.
Thanks,
Pete
