Just wanted to share this with you guys. It's very useful if your truck starts a regen and you are in a short drive and you want to finish out the regen.
For those of you who have spade/auto cal hand helds from efi live this is how to see.
Go to scan tool
Go to select PIDs
Go to your engine controller (e98)
Go to display data
Hit ok on unknown PIDs
You have a full list of the PIDs which show you lots of things.
DSTDPFR means distance since last dpf regeneration. It resets to zero as soon as your regen is complete.
Other scanners may also show this, but I would not be able to help you with how to read or find it.
For those of you who don't know how to tell if a regen has started, look for higher idle (900rpm), and your instant mpg will be lower. Also, your instant mpg won't say 99 during DFCO (deceleration fuel cut off). In the scanner you can see the egr also is closed during a regen.
