Hey Bush, thanks for the good info, my 450 is going into the shop to go under the microscope to see what could be hurting performance and fuel econ. I talked to the manager about the TSB's, he said they will re-flash most likely along with doing some more in depth diagnostic work... Any way, I hope the new updates can help by themselves. (it just gave me more fuel for the fire).

On another note, would anyone agree that its B.S. that the message center will tell you you are in regen and to KEEP DRIVING! I think its a cool idea, but to keep burning tons of fuel and driving around in circles (especially if you are on any kind of schedule) is honestly a joke. What are we gonna tell the chev guys when we can't stop our trucks because they told us not too.

Not bashin though, I can understand Ford wanting make the vehicle more user friendly and keep us posted on what its doing... Just something to think about.

So you can be pulling in to work and the truck will tell you to drive for another 30 minutes?

look at some of the messages that come up one is "Drive to clean exhaust filter" lol.

There is no reason you can't stop anyway, but regen is only really effective while crusing... From my understanding

 

[bushpilot]

so effective, taylor, that theyre putting 3.55's in 'em !

 

[Taylor_Mish]

I dont understand? Are you saying they do clean well at low speed/rpm?

 

[bushpilot]

im saying the regen is a flop...and its KILLING the mpg !

 

[Taylor_Mish]

yeah, no kidding, that's why the other guys are gonna laugh when our truck tells us to keep driving...

I have yet to see a message telling me that my truck is in regen. I have 8000 miles.
