To understand regens, you have to understand that there are 2, as in two different kinds.
Active, which you are considering as noticable regeneration.
Then there is passive, or unnoticable regeneration.
Passive regeneration is when soot is burned off under high heat passively generated by the engine without the aid of the ECM.
Since you are running a tuner, your EGT gasses are now much higher than they were when stock.
So, while you are traveling down the road, and there are no signs of an active regen, rest assured that the extra soot you are producing is being burned off passively.
In the end, the results that we have warned about will still come to fruition.
While you may think there have been no more noticable regens, your DPF is filling up.
In a few thousand miles, suddenly, your rig will start to run slower and your fuel consumption will rise. Your fix will involve a new, $2,500.00 DPF. Then the cycle begins all over again.
It's just the plain old truth, do with it whatever you want.
