Regen indicator

[RB33]

That is why I have a great copilot, it is her job to keep an eye on all those fancy numbers, * *

I wouldn't be able to drive if I had all those numbers to watch. Now I want one. Is there a unit like that which records data over time?

Hmmm if you were flying your own plane and it failed from lack of oil pressure.. I bet minutes before YOU crashed and died you would have wished you paid more attention to the gauge.. (remember the Cummins Ram gage is LOM). Just to Illustrate. If you want to guess at what happening under the hood that your preference ,IMO don't come to the WEB *****en and wanting help with no more then codes or pictures. The IQ can be programed to log info..

When I'm flying a plane, I'm looking at factory installed gauges, installed in an industry wide standard pattern and location, and I don't have to concern myself with someone pulling out in front of me.

If you pay that much attention to gauges when driving , Please don't install one. It was a illustration ,WTH is this generation that FUBAR to know the difference. They look at it like its a trick question and are dumbfounded by them (Illustrations).

If you pay that much attention to gauges, you shouldn't be driving at all. The older cummins had pillar gauges. I put my phone up on the Ram phone holder in the centet of the dash. It's not a distraction. Less of a distraction in fact than trying to scroll through the EVIC screens

The OIL PSI reading in the EVIC is L-O-M Your OIL PSI will drop over time form Bearing wearing or sludge . Oil Pump failures are What ! 1 per 1/2 million today under warranty. Need only look at live gage occasionally. If you own ecodiesel Live gage is almost mandatory , 3 more pukers this week in calls alone.. the 3.0 is hero-zero status, My guess it will go done in history with the 6.0 rankings.

TC, that is why with 53000 miles on my ECO D *went to 2500 for the rest my of travels and towing the trailer. *

Good choice.. those Mods at the 1500diesel.com are still living in fancy land.... I spent 5 minutes over there today 97hmcs is still claiming speculation on the EPA DOJ investigation .. That's Nuts moth later still in denial.

Funny, you recognize your illustrations but no one else's. One of the things you learn in flying is sensory overload and division of attention. That's why instrumentation is standardized. It requires less attention and allows for division of duties. The other thing that's emphasized in training is keeping your head out of the cockpit. You should also take note that the oil pressure guage is about 1/3 the size of the primary instruments. That's because it's more important to fly the plane ( or drive the vehicle) than to be distracted by ancillary activities. About the only time a pilot would notice low oil pressure in flight is after he noticed a rough running engine or heard noises. If you doubt that tidbit of info read a few NTSB reports. The rest of us may not be up to your super human abilities.

Ps. Please try to use complete sentences. Its hard to follow along wih you at times.

Yep.. I use Illustration for this Purpose... To get the sense of it. Its intended for individuals that want to get the sense of it... Obliviously it was NOT intended for YOU...Is another illustration necessary to point that out? By the way I had a private pilot lic for 6 years, When My business career took off I NO longer had the time for the Hr fight requirements so it expired. This was 35 Years ago. Nice to see the training is still required.


I hear ya on the follow part, But My comments are NOT for everyone, they require pondering over the thoughts and message to get the sense of it.

I've got another question...also regarding the regen process...I think.

When is DEF consumed? Is it just during the regen process, or is it consumed at some variable rate during normal driving, depending on engine loading? I'm thinking that if DEF is only consumed during regen, that's a good thing to know. Anybody have an answer?

Def is going to be used at all times.the amount is metered by a controller using logic and feed back.More nox is produced under high load situations so accordingly more def will be used to correct emissions out the pipe.

TC, I know I came off as being overly critical. I regret that. Using a pilot was a good example, but for another reason. I'm sure you remember that the majority of pilots you ran into didn't really understand WHY they did what they did. They did it because that's what they were taught. Thats known as learning by rote memory. That's the case whether it was actual flying or engine management. For most folks it's the same with a vehicle. Give them too much info ( phone,gps, etc) and they obsess over it and fail in the primary duty of driving. In addition, given info they don't FULLY understand it raises more questions than it answers. That's why Gami Injectors offers a $1200 three day course in Lean Of Peak engine management. The aircraft owners were taught 100f rich of peak and never understood why. It's obvious you have tremendous knowledge in Diesel engines and you easily interpret the info. Even though members here are enthusiasts, it doesn't mean they are at your level of competency.

 

[TCDiesel]

I agree. I also think that its very important to occasionally know engine conditions... and its up to each individual to measure the safety and depth of that knowledge. I will use another example back a few years this women rented a snowmobile ,Snowmobiles require much physical ability this women had her 7 year old son on the back riding 2 up She lost him 1/3 of the way up the mountain when she realized he was gone she went frantic, We were call in Search/Rescue to find him and we did another rider pick him up and brought him into town and left him with police, When she was united with him she was *****'en and moan how snowmobiling was dangerous.... We'll I don't put up with much and I ask her that she should have NEVER been on the Machine in the 1st place... If her ability mounted to devoting so much attention to the operation of the machine that she didn't even know she lost her rider , She should have excised more caution or drop it all together. she created her own hazard. I may come of as a jerk at times but its all in the betterment of My fellow Man.

*I think it's safe to say we are in total agreement.

 

[Vt Redneck]

Ok, question.... what defines an active, versus passive, regeneration in these trucks?*

[jhenderson]

Passive regen occurs under normal driving conditions using the trucks exhaust temps. Active is using additional fuel injected upstream from the DPF to raise temps inside the DPF to burn off residual deposits.*

Thank you. *Just wanted to clarify that I was understanding correctly.*
