I have a 2014 6.7 that is 100% stock. I run my OBD Link app on my phone when driving to see my exhaust temps.
I let the sensor right after the turbo drop below 400 before shutting off the truck. I read something talking about shutting off the engine with a hot turbo can start cooking the small amount in it once the oil quits flowing. No idea if that is actually an issue, but sitting in the truck with it running for another minute or two doesn't bother me.
Because I have all of the exhaust temps on one screen, I can see when the truck goes into regen.
I just got back from an 800 mile trip to see in-laws last night. This morning, on my 10 minute drive to work, the truck starts going into regen. I just spent multiple hours on the highway, why couldn't this have initiated during that time period?
What initiates the regen cycle? I have seen an option to manually engage it through AlfaOBD, but it seems like that is more for the dealer to use. Not sure it's the same option the truck does on it's own when driving.
I realize deleting would remedy all of this, but I'm looking at what can be done with the truck as is.
Just a little annoyed that the truck had multiple opportunities for a regen, but chose my short trip to work to initiate instead. I ended up driving down the highway for a bit during my lunch break to let it run the process, so everything is back to normal now.
