We have a guage mounted on the dash and among other things we monitor the pre turbo EGT. If I miss the message on the information center I can instantly see the active regeneration by the EGT's increasing by 400/500 degrees.It is not uncommon to see 1000/1200 degree EGT. We will also experience a 4/5 MPG decrease during regeneration which normally will last about 20 mins. These are all solo numbers. Ford uses the same regeneration as GM..I think they are all the same. We do not get a lot of active regenerations as we usualy are above 35MPH solo driving. I can only recall ONE active regeneration while towing the 3400. I am surprised at the possible tail pipe temp of 600 degrees as I have also seen that figure. Next time we regen I am goin to let it run for about 10 mins then stop and shoot the tailpipe temp. We always let the regen run its course which at times will mean driving around aimlessly for 20 mins.
