You can’t keep driving as you should because you got a job to do or things to unpack. You can’t help but wonder what can be done to keep your LML from going into this cycle as often as it does, we’ll get into that in bit, first let’s look a little more at DPF regen.
The DPF takes essentially 700 miles or 18 hours of drive time to put it to the maximum values of normal calculated mass soot levels, which if you were curious is 44 grams. Active Regen describes the procedure your truck goes through to burn that accumulated soot. To do this, fuel is dosed through a 9th injector directly into your exhaust. Many drivers have noticed a drop in MPG and even potentially a lack of power during regen.
A popular theory is that if you go through regen less frequently, your MPGs will go up. So, how can you go through less regens?

LML SPADE & Smart EGT Control:
Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs) give you an insight as to how much stress you are putting your engine under. It is the most accurate way to monitor if your current activity is safe for the engine.
In a factory tuned truck high EGTs would most commonly be a sign of a physical problem like a boost leak. However, a tuner added to an aggressive driver could result in EGTs beyond the desired limit.
Most examples of this also include a mismatch of your tune level and truck operation. Such as the guy towing in his race tune.
