Something smells like burnt rubber.

Yes, but you have to be on that screen.

Correct

Yeah... sorry guys not trying to make a mountain out of a molehill here.... Like the CP4 thing.... I am just ignoring it and driving it w/o any worries, that's why I have a warranty and keep current on my maintenance. I like to be proactive when I can though hence the myriad of questions since my last truck didnt care what I did, well not really

I’m with you bc

700 or 7000?

How many hours?

Likely caught it doing a regen.

These newer trucks don’t like short runs.

Sorry, 7,000 miles and I have 29hrs at idle and 213 driving hours. I'm thinking over half of the miles are towing 9,000bl 5th wheel.

That’s 242 hours. Assuming normal 24 hour regens you just had one on/about 240 hours. I think the timer resets upon completion, so it grows a few minutes each regen.

Okay thanks. Just trying to learn getting my feet wet in the 4th gen world.

That's quite a bit of idling compared to driving.
Idling loads the DPF faster, can trigger more regens if it loads up enough.

I know that on the idling. I don't let it warm up for more the 10 minutes if that in the winter time. It normally sits in the garage. I don't know when you are stopped in traffic if it counts that as idling or not. The truck was a factory left over and had 605 miles on it when i bought it last May. It was titled to the dealership. I never paid any attention to the hours when I first bought it. My Credit Union gave me 1.36% on it for 6 years. Couldn't pass that up.

3-5 minutes is the most you need in winter. If your towing in the winter go for 5, if empty go for less than 3 and drive easy for a bit. That’s much better for a diesel.

These trucks are also programmed to partially engage the EB when cold, so there isn’t a need to use the EB for normal warmups.

Okay cool thanks for the info. I didn't know that on the EB. It's on whenever I'm driving it towing or not. I do know on my 02 it never warmed up till you starting driving it in the winter time.

Regen is generally a hot metal smell. I don't notice it or really care most of the time. Once and awhile I get home and note the hot metal smell. I short trip mine more than I should, but, every time I stop and idle I " BUS DRIVER " it: turn on the high idle to 1200RPM. Even in a drive-through.Your winter warm up would benefit from higher RPM, but, seriously skip it and drive it. Idle doesn't generate much heat in diesels.

Doesn't hurt to check it out IF it's not regen. Batteries bad, spare too close to exhaust, tires, brakes.
