Newb from San Diego Need help
I have been a pretty happy owner of an 04 Ford F-250 Harley Davidson 4x4 with a 6.0 diesel. It was just stolen last week. I am considering buying the 08 Ram 2500 Laramie with the new 6.7. I've driven it a couple of times and have really noticed that it doesn't have any turbo lag. Very nice. That was my main bitch about the Ford. I am however concerned about the dpf and how many people are having problems with the emisions. I've been advised not to buy the 08 and maybe look for the 05-06.
I've read that you can bypass the emisions. Is this true? Does it help that much? What do you guys think. Thanks in advance. Gary

Welcome to DB. I lived in Ramona for almost 2 years but moved about 6 months ago. There are quite a few diesel guys that go drag racing at Qualcomm and at Barona. Mainly Ford guys, but there are a few Dodge and Chevy guys. Good luck in your search. You could always pick up 99-03 7.3 for 20-22k and have lots of money to tweak it compared to a new truck.

I have an 03 7.3 up in Oregon. I love it but it's not here. Also if I could find a low mileage one down here I'd buy it in a heart beat. Thanks for the reply.

Welcome to DB
 Yes you can  Bypass these DPF with a DPF delete kits one of the vendors on here can help ya with that, but you will also need a prgrammer that deletes the codes when it throws them for the straight pipe...Edge, Smarty will do the job just fineI does help alot to help that monster breathe and to get better MPG's about 3-5 is what ive heard and you can also block the EGR too

One thing to remember with a DPF delete on a new truck is warranty issues. Check out GlamisDunes.com :: Information Regarding Glamis and the Algodones Sand Dunes
Race-Dezert.com and craigslist. There are plenty of 7.3s out there for sale right now.

I just checked out an 06 Mega Cab with the 5.9. Is there a difference between the 06 and the 07? Truck is very nice but I saw only 13mpg with 35" tires on it. Can you do better. This was a stock truck with no goodies on it.
