FORCE DPF REGEN for RAM 1500 ECODIESEL

- I have a 2015 RAM Ecodiesel with a bunch of errors and warnings. I do not drive long distances (at least not lately). Diesel is a great system and engine. The EGR and DPF system is a very bad system. It is crazy that it can stop someone from owning/driving his truck because of driving behavior. Anyways, I have to FORCE a DPF regen and did not want to go to stealership to spend $500 - $1000 to do what I can do myself.
I did buy AlfaOBD (Android version) to perform this force regen.
Buy the OBD reader I used in this video using my link below (helps support my channel):

Thanks!
Did your truck actually go through the whole force regen and clear the exhaust filter?
Little late on commenting but I just ran into this issue with my 2015 ram ecodiesel. Started at 80, then to 90 and now sitting at 100%. Will this work on the 2015 if I purchase the app and reader? Thank you.
Yes it works with ram ecodiesel 2015.
Thanks. I was able to get the Regen started and it ran for about 5 minutes at 2500 rpm the shut off. I tried again and it states. Failed. Service not supported in active diagnostic session.
I wasn't able to find the diagnostic reset. Maybe they need to be cleared first?
Thanks for this manual invoke of DPF regen, exactly what I was looking for!
SOS PLEASE. I just need to get this Jeep running. My old VW car can’t handle the flooding here in Texas
No. Regular OBD can not do force regen. This Alfa OBD is the only one I know of. I know some diesel mechanics may have others they use also.
@@DIYGEEKTEXAS yeah. I Have a mechanic that just charged me upwards of $8000 to change my steering gear. And he’s telling me now he needs to replace the filter and pump I knows he’s trying to Rob me. Cause this issues is caused by me not driving the Jeep for almost a year. The last time I drive I had a
Minor accident and it was doing a regen. So I know it’s just the spot has become charcoal. No need for all this
Scam that they are trying to pull. I’ll keep searching for the
Tool however. Thanks
Alfaobd is the app. It works
I can’t seem to find the app. Can you give a description of the app logo
Here is the link directly to Google Play Store (AlfaOBD Android) play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AlfaOBD.AlfaOBD&pli=1
It's paid ap, 50 bucks best app for your truck to do this yourself
I bought the veepeak reader and the app and for the life of me I can’t get it connected any ideas? I got a 2016 ram 1500 eco diesel
Doesn’t work on iPhone
Alfa OBD is for Android only!
None of those are bad responses.. they are all because of what is stated right there.. "Coolant temperature MUST be greater than 60C).. and you see on all of the "bad responses" it logs the coolant temp.. every time.. its under 60
I have a 2018Ram 2500 6.7, I know I need the app $49.99, a Bluetooth device, do I need a bypass cable as well?
Yes, 2016+ needs bypass adapter
@@imcrazyforwar2018+ Only need bypass
Is this different from what the mechanics do? We have our truck at the mechanics and they say they’ve tried regen two times and not working. He’s saying it’s a software thing and we’d need to update the software for $600 😢 I’m wondering if we try this if it will even work
Thank you!!! You're vid helped me!!
How did you clear the diag codes. You skipped that part in the video
Currently trying to figure this out...can we get a step by step?
do you have a specific link to the app? the link you posted only takes you to the home page
This is the direct link to AlfaOBD Android app from google play store: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AlfaOBD.AlfaOBD&pli=1
I see the check engine light is still on. Even I clear the check light it pops back up and doesn’t allow the Regen. (2017 eco diesel)
Clear all codes. Turn key off, wait a few seconds. Turn key to run, (don't start truck!) Set on ap then to start Regen process and stop that page. Start truck, AND AS SOON AS IT STARTS HIT START REGEN. it will still show dpf clogged message but Regen would be running. In 25 minutes u can go from 100% to 60%. If it does not work, the dpf is to far gone and needs to replaced. U can find reman ones for 1500 with a quick search, and any reputable shop can install them. Send old one back and get core back of 400 bucks
What app are you using???
I am using Alfa OBD app for Android
Was it able to clear the DPF by doing it they way
Yes as long as you actually perform the REGEN successfully. This technique only triggers the regen process. You still have to let the regen process works and finish.
Was it able to clear the DPF??
Yes, as long as you finish the REGEN process. See my previous reply.
What happens if I just keep driving my truck with the 100% exhaust filter full ?
Goes to limp mode, and it forces u to fix it
