Welcome jamespi, your truck has a DPF or Diesel Particulate Filter or you could call it the Black Smoke Filter. Your filter fills up and the diesel particulate needs to be removed because the exhaust is restricted. The 6.7 uses extra pulses of fuel, injected at the bottom of the power stroke. This raw fuel makes it way into the exhaust system where it burns up the diesel particulates trapped in the filter. I have my egt probe located just down from the turbo, where I see temps of 1050 to 1250 df during regen.
Higher performance settings on any tuner will help the dpf to fill up faster. This is only true if you use that extra power with a heavy foot.
