When it tries to force a regen at idle, the idle will increase slightly and the EB will activate and the tail pipe gets REAL HOT!(in park at idle only, after excessive idle time).
To keep them out of regen mode, clean out the pipes periodically and drive it like a Cummins needs to be driven, LOADED.
Are you sure you are going into regen while ideling? I notice if I am in regen and park it will stop regen and then resume when I put it back in drive. I know these trucks will idle up when they are cold or when the water temp drops to a certain point.
