My uncle bought a new dodge this past summer with the new 6.7. I've driven it and am impressed with the overall package. He told me today that he had a 'catylist full' message flashing up at him. he took it to the dealer and they asked him if he'd been idling it alot and he had simply to warm it up as its been cold around here lately. So , they told him to take it out and run the poop out of it to burn out the soot. He did that and it helped. So do the new cummins have a regeneration process like the Duramax does? This new emmissions stuff seems like a big pain in the but to me. You end up burning a lot more fuel to burn off soot than before....

yeah the 6.7 has a DPF...friggin EPA regulations

my boss has a 6.7 and it wont do the regeneration process by itself, it clogs up so bad that the truck with barly run (like a gas with spark plugs missfiring) he has been to the dealr countless time so they can do it with a techtool. so he just gonna do away with the cats and dpf...b/c they do make a dpf delete kit for the 6.7 now.

DODGE has a new flash update for this problem. From the factory the CUMMINS would not go into regen mode unless you were travling 25MPH or sustaned RPM's of 1200(I think). The update permits regen at idle to allow for extended idling. The new emissions makes no sense to me either, gas or diesel. Let's burn more fuel to make the tailpipe cleaner instead of looking at total emissions released. The EPA is just another government agency with it's head in the wrong end. We could save a very large quantity of oil if they would change the emissions to look at total particulates released per volume.
