Boy I'd sure like to know how my truck knows that I'm within 3 miles from home so it can inconveniently initiate a regen cycle.......

Everytime. I finally got the "Keep driving to clean exhaust" message

The message on mine is simply "cleaning exhaust filter". Because it doesn't remain on during the regen cycle I strongly suspect that we are not required to keep driving until the cycle is finished. It's tough to know when it is finished anyway - especially for those driving in the city. Maybe I should read my owners manual - if I still have it???? Maybe if it never got finished cleaning the last couple of times that it tried the message changes to "keep driving to clean exhaust filter"?

I use my Edge monitor to watch the regens. If she is close to a regen while getting close to the house, I drive a little more gingerly to keep the soot numbers down.

How do you know it's getting close to a regen?


What I like is how mine went into a regen when the dash was reporting only 15 miles left until empty.
That's convenient huh? Lol!


No What Ford needs to do is Give us a Forced regen Button so we can have control of it Period!
Haha, it would never get used!

Sure it would,I have a 20 minute drive to work,Highway about two thirds of that,soon as i got on the main highway i would Force regen if i had around 300 miles on it since last regen... It would work great!

I know it's possible cause the Dealer can force a regen.

After the main Shake down i will go with deletes anyway....I'll be buying my truck for what it can be! Not for what it is when i drive it off the Lot :~)
