@Gradymaci have you done the forscan work to show DPF % full on your dash yet? Once it hits 100% full a regen is imminent. So now we know when a regen is about to occur, we can let it happen, especially if you are going to be driving for a while, or postpone it till a longer trip.
I have had it hit 100% full just a few blocks from my house and arrive home with it clicking and ticking in the carport, then it is at 95% or 90% next time I get in. I try not to let that happen so I disable auto regen for a short period. Then I can get a much better cleaning with the longer regen.
Does this help? Was that the question you were asking?
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving.
