How often does a LML Duramax Regen?
Active Regens require fuel to be sprayed through the 9th injector to raise exhuast temperatures high enough to burn the accumulated soot. On an LML the active regen process initiates once 42 grams of soot have collected in the DPF or after 700 miles without active regen (whichever comes first).
How long does a regen take on a LML Duramax?
Unfortunately, far too often it does not go quite as smoothly. First, as a general rule of thumb, a forced DPF regen should last approximately 45 minutes.
How do I get more power out of my LML Duramax?
1) Duramax LML Intake Upgrade And adding an intake before the tune will amplify the power gains of both the tune and intake as well as reduce stress on the turbo and overall engine by allowing it to breathe more easily. When a tune is added the increased boost levels will make the stock LML intake restrictive.
How much horsepower can a stock LML handle?
In stock form it can support 520-550 RWHP with the help of a lift pump. For 600HP you simply need more pump. The Exergy Stroker Cp4 or the ATS add a pump kit can both get you to your goal.
Will Duramax Regen at idle?
This is true. Regen only occurs at sustained speeds above 30 MPH. The elevated idle keeps the exhaust system hot, so regen can resume quicker/easier, once you’re consistently at-speed again.
What does diesel Regen smell like?
A regen gets the exhaust really hot and it doesn’t smell like traditional diesel exhaust, but it does smell like something burning, like hot metal. You can also feel the heat coming out from under the truck if you’re in short pants.
How do you regen a 2011 Duramax?
The Duramax engine needs to see steady cruise speed, not stop-and-go traffic, in order to properly enter regeneration mode. You must travel above 30 mph for at least 20 minutes until the clean filter message goes off. Periodically engage in steady speed cruises to insure your DPF regenerates.
Can I force a DPF regeneration?
In order to carry out a forced DPF regeneration, the correct diagnostic or reset tool must be used. This operation could take up to 30 minutes. Ensure the regeneration process is conducted in a safe environment as exhaust temperatures will be very high. Filters require more maintenance than catalytic converters.
How much horsepower can a stock LML transmission handle?
The LMM can handle about 130 RWHP tune on the stock transmission.
