Since buying by 07. 5 6-speed in april I had the emmissions light come on twice and had the recall done. I run my exhaust brake all the most of the time. My biggest thing is everyone talks about the exhaust regen and having messages i assume on the overhead, I have only ever seen the message system ok. I assume that that is normal or is something not working right

The whole idea of the regen is to be seamless to the customer. If your not seeing any adverse messages on the overhead the truck must be completing the regens as designed. You would know it very quickly if it was not.

Never saw anything on the overhead either. If you see a message on the overhead, DPF is very near full and the suggested 45 minute run down the road at high speeds loaded will be in order - IF the DPF doesn't get plugged up further.

Then, I installed a pyrometer and gauge and could tell when the periodic Regen occurred. Driving down the road at 40 mph on flat ground and EGT's hitting 1100-1200 degrees, and you know the 5th injection cycle is occurring.

Nevertheless, at 12,200 miles CEL comes on, throws 2 codes and dealer does the "cleanup" (DPF, Turbo, Intake), new O2 sensors, re-flash, and exhaust wrap. Kept the truck for two days. Dealer asked me - "did you view the DVD that came with your truck?". YES, and I did everything it suggested.

I wonder how much Dodge is paying the dealers for the cleanup.
