You have to set it up with Desoot and Deox as parameters. I find my truck will regen about every 7 to 9 thousand seconds. My regen trigger is 5.9 and have never seen it go above 9 and thats only when it has been driven around town and not out on the road for awhile. Lots of good info shown with the Insight if you have it set up right.

Form what Cummins told me the engine will only regen when needed, if you run it a little hard on the highway, towing, or pulling grades even empty the engine will not regen very often, if at all. This came from a QC engineer at Cummins so take it for what it's worth.

Yup. The engine makes a "whine" sound, like an extra fuel pump running (I think its actually the turbo changing position though). And the exhaust gets hot enough to light your pants on fire.

You probably need to do a manual upgrade to the Insight to get it to register the regen on the gauge. Mine didn't show when the truck was in regen either until I downloaded the Edge Fusion program from Edge Products. The locked torque converter symbol didn't show either until the upgrade to the Insight was completed. It only takes a few minutes to complete once the Insight is connected to the Fusion program.

Quote: Wow what a difference two tires make in the wind. Over all it handled it quite nicely.
Thanks for that! Some people tell me its all in my mind
Congrats on the new truck. Can't help you with the 6.7 temps but my little old 5.9 runs about the same depending on ambient temperatures, terrain, wind and the skinny pedal.
There is the "Baker Grade" in the S Cali desert that will keep my temperature well into the 215 range for a half hour. I use to be concerned but after many pulls it seems normal.
Good Luck
....Trying to stir up trouble are we Rick Those extra two tires DO make a difference in stability, in any heavy wind and you can really tell a difference on steep, winding mountainous roads when towing. As far as the temps going up a little when towing, it's normal, but if it get's any higher the fan kicks on and brings the temp back down very quickly...
Congrats on the new truck, I really, really like mine....The EB is awesome..I've towed down some very long 7% grades and some far steeper secondary roads and the Exhaust Brake has been a blessing in disquise...works to perfection,k have even at times had to give the truck more throttle to pick speed up....enjoy your new truck...

BS, **** regens every 150-300 miles no matter what, your so called "Cummins engineer" is full of it.

When towing the exhaust gas temperature is typically much higher than running empty. This elevated exhaust gas temperature can burn soot which has been called a passive regen. When you have a passive regen senerio it could reduce the frequency of a active regen. I've read this occurs with a 6.7psd so I suspect it happens with the 6.7 cummins as well.
Regen frequency on the 6.7L is most certainly dependant on driving cycles. Short/on-town/unloaded trips = frequent (sometime almost continuous) active regen. Trucks used on the highway, especially with a decent load, will regen much less.

I drive 22 miles to work, each way, all highway, and I regen every 200 miles. It couldn't be more obvious when it's undergoing a regen, just look sliding fuel mileage bar. If your driving on a flat road and it shows 9-10 mpg's, you're in a regen. Also, it takes a bit more pedal pressure to net the same speed. The burning smell is also a dead give away.
When I'm towing, it's tough to tell when/ if the truck is in a regen due to the mileage always being crap.
