Banks iDash 1.8

71_340 · December 31, 2020

I just added a Banks iDash 1.8 Super Gauge to my new truck because I wanted the ability to monitor when the truck is in DPF regeneration mode. Main reason to me to know that is that I don't want to shut off the engine but rather keep driving to complete regeneration. I know there are other choices from Edge or Scan Gauge but I had Banks products in the past and was always impressed with their features and quality. I also did use the Banks gauge pod.

I also like to thank fellow member BurnsMax who answered a lot of my questions through PMs.

The "DPF RG" percentage is an indication for how close you are to a regen? What exactly was this called in the iDash and what category is it under? I've been trying to find this for mine but coming up with nothing so far. Thanks!

It is under the Emissions section and is called DPG RG ((DPF Regen Trigger).

I attached the parameter listing for the 2020 Duramax trucks which also lists the DPF SL (Soot Load) as an available parameter to display. Unfortunately that option will not show up for my 2021 despite updating the iDash to the latest firmware. I did send an email to Banks support but haven't received a reply yet.

Just an update to my last post.

Banks replied to me and told me to go to settings---vehicle selection---and then select "GM Standard". After doing so the DPF SL became an available option.
