: Another Q about edge CTS race?
Alberta Oil 06-30-2010, 11:08 AM So I just installed this in my truck and can now see how many grams of soot are in my DPF.
My question is how many grams before a regen happen? Or do I have to do a manuel?
If I do is it ok to do while I'm driving?
I was going to do it yesterday but all the warnings that come up said I should be pulled over in neutral? Doesn't seem right to me as the truck did it all the time before while driving.
I now have 52g of soot and its flashing..... Does the edge stop regens?
I have a non race tune in right now. Sry for the million Q's..:p:
s0c0mnati0n 06-30-2010, 11:17 AM i dont know exactly how many grams, but i do know that when you force a regen with the edge, that you need to pull over into a parking lot, i recommend you do it at home. Put the car in neutral, put the parking break on, and start the regen. but again, i dont know the exact amount of grams.

chrisk1500 06-30-2010, 11:46 AM Mine used to regen at about 45 grams typically....there were times when it would regen at a random time too though....
Take it for a rip on the highway, the CTS should tell you that it is in regen and you should be able to watch the soot count drop....
Alberta Oil 06-30-2010, 12:49 PM Ya that's what I thought. I drive about 100km too work and 100km home every day.
I thought it would do it this morning on the way too work but it never did. That sucks that I can't do the man. regen while I'm driving.
Can't wait for the DPF to fall off, lol.

I believe right around 30 is the numer you want the regens at.
sycofiend71 07-03-2010, 08:51 PM when you installed the tune did you press "enter" saying that you removed the dpf? you have to hit menu saying that it is still there. you might need to reinstalled whatever level tune you have to make sure your regen is still enabled.
Alberta Oil 07-04-2010, 01:06 AM New system going on in the morning, will install new tune and say yes. Can't wait to see how much more the truck improves.:D
sycofiend71 07-05-2010, 06:52 PM Good luck! Keep us posted!
carter_44 07-05-2010, 07:04 PM Another idea: yank off that shitty DPF and put on a nice free flowing exhaust and run it with your tuner and watch your mileage and performance go up considerably. Then you won't have to worry about soot particle count and regens and all the foolishness anymore.
I think I left about a billion soot particles in the driveway this morning along with a couple nice tire marks...nothing flashing at me to tell me my soot count was too high.:RockOn::stick_out
Alberta Oil 07-05-2010, 08:30 PM While I put in the new system yesterday, it was very easy to install put a PITA to remove the old one.
The differential sensor lines and RTD's where impossible to get loosened.:eek:
What a difference it made once all done and I luv, luv, luv the new sound.
Can't wait to see the improvments on the highway!!!:p:
sycofiend71 07-06-2010, 08:29 AM I love the way it sounds with no muffler!!! You also lose a butt ton of weight by removing the old system. I love how it smells like a diesel again!!!
Alberta Oil 07-06-2010, 10:41 AM I think the smell is the only thing I don't like:cool: but this is my first diesel so maybe it will grow on me;).
sycofiend71 07-07-2010, 11:12 AM really? i love the smell! the install kinda sucked because it rained but i would have to say i am getting a good 2-3 mpg increase.
Alberta Oil 07-07-2010, 06:42 PM Ya I already see an improvment around town. Really happy with this mod, will be the first one I do on my next truck.:D
