2014 Ram 6.7
Generally I use this truck only for towing and we just got done moving. During that time I loaded an enclosed trailer and the bed about 6 times for 225 mile trips each way till move was done. Needed to replace fuel filters after this and I did that a few days ago. Took it for a short drive to make sure it ran okay due to counterfeit filter issues (No problems). Went to Home Depot to get some supplies across town and on the way home i got the "Exhaust system regeneration in progress exhaust filter 100% full" message. I thinking I'm going to have to drive it a while to clear it. 3 minutes later it says "Regeneration completed". So I just finished my drive home.
I've never seen this message come up since I've owned it, (about 3 years now) and I've put 25,000 miles on it in that time. I don't like to idle much, but we're in a small city now so there is stop and go traffic I have to deal with, so it has been idling more than usual.
All that caught me by surprise and especially it only taking about 3 minutes to finish the active regeneration. Just want to get a few opinions on this and if the truck is okay and normal. Thanks
