Had a discussion with Ford and Dodge dealers during a recent 'City Wide' auto sale event. Both said that the 'computers' will monitor how hard the engine has been worked (e.g. how hot the exhaust) and if the exhaust was sufficiently hot to burn off the trapped carbon then no raw fuel/burn event. If, however, we drive our trucks as our daily commuter vehicle, albeit, at highway speeds but not under heavy load, then we should expect fairly frequent burn events. When I pressed on how frequently, neither dealer could tell me as yet. Both dealers said their techs were to attend training in the next quearter (Oct/Nov time frames) and they would know more after that. As someone once said, newer is not always better
