40 is the bare minimum in the mid-atlantic area, I've never seen anything below that and I've been driving diesels for 25 years.

You mean biodiesel? Not sure I'd want to run that in a modern diesel. Maybe if it's being sold by a gas station it's extremely well filtered and regulated? What's the cost? I've never heard of it coming from a gas station vs refining it yourself.

There's one station in my town that sells 47, and you see all sorts of diesel enthusiasts filling up there. When I lived in the DC area, BP's that had Amoco Gold fuel had 50 cetane. I pay extra for the 47 in my Mercedes and LZ0

It was a more common occurrence before an ECM update when you only did short trips: https://www.duramaxforum.com/threads/new-lz0-forced-regen-4-times.1034723/ https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10231499-0001.pdf That is the reason WHY I monitor my DPF soot level now. I did not before...

I only did it because when the DPF hits 140% it requires you to do a forced regen. You're supposed to take it in to the dealer at that point, but I had a road trip the following day and access to scan tools to force it anyways. You never want to have to do it. It's one of the reasons I went down...

Add a metric for exhaust temp and watch how high it goes during a regen. I did a forced, stationary regen once with a scan tool and the exhaust could easily burn you if you were near the outlet.

Looks good. Did you have to customize the PIDs to get that info? I had to add them to torque. Can you resize the display on AA? That's my biggest gripe with mine, it is fixed, and larger than the map. On most AA apps, you can swap the sides and choose which app will display more prominently ...

I finally had the opportunity to go into a regen last night. My soot level had been hovering between 90-100 all week, but I had just being doing short 4 mile trips to my office and back and not getting a chance to warm it up. My text conversion didn't work properly, but the number indicator did...

Here's my latest. I haven't had the opportunity to get into an active regen yet, so I don't know if the small (non-dial) values will populate properly when I do. I've attached a csv export of my custom torque pids if anyone wants to import them into their app. You'll need to change the extension...

I've been refining mine and will share a torque csv export in the next couple of weeks once I'm confident that the values are correct.

Please see https://www.gm1500diesel.com/forum/threads/engine-monitor.90/page-2#post-4800 . I will be sharing a torque PID export for custom monitors that I have put together over the last week based off all the linked threads and documentation once I am confident they are working properly. I've...

Thanks, looks like the spreadsheet is available on the youtube video: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZPDOeSx4JFwb1nomx5adsc7pYm-sdLimwG0FmNmVhNg/edit?gid=0#gid=0

@gemarsh - None of these would be possible without your sharing of the PIDs and associated formulas for interpreting them. Would you mind sharing where you found those details? I'd love to create additional ones and it looks like there's a way to export them from torque so they can be easily...

It's amazing how quickly the soot percentage goes up in city driving, especially if you floor it from a stop. I'm looking forward to seeing how my regen status shows once I hit 100 % to see if it's accurate or not. I'll update once I do. In my daily driving today I went from ~31% to ~38% and...

Latest set of gauges... Trans temp is still not working, need to find another pid for that one
