I wish a tech would chime in and let everyone know what the procedure is for doing a flash. What all has to be checked and how it is done.

like the other guys are saying, it will clog up your filter if you let it idle for a long period of time. i don't know how long it takes. i think there are too many variables. i do know that if it clogs your filter completely and you have to replace it, the dealer will look up the idle time and if its too high for them, they will viod your warenty. i haven't had any problems with mine yet. i have a lead foot and i've only seen the overhead say 80 once. i do know that it will clean its self alot faster if you dog on it. i drove mine at 90 mph itstead of 70 and i didn't take but a couple mins to clean out.

Here in Alberta there are a large number of 6.7's in use in the oilfield. They all idle a lot. For instance; the welders head out in the morning and let their truck idle all day as they are welding. They idle for 10-12 hours every day/7 days a week. Initially they had a lot of problems but the new flashes have it figured out and I have heard that there are no problems now.
