Delete the DPF!

I have an 08 and have had a lot of issues with bad sensors and the dash information center telling me to "pull over safely and stop" because the sensors thought the exhaust was too hot.

If you delete the DPF, you'll void your warranty

I had my 08 for two weeks and deleted the dpf if your a decent wrench the 50 mark is the last time you will need any warranty, the delete makes the engine more reliable and solves a few issues with over fueling and cylinder while it cleans the dpf.

I have a mechanic that I trust, and when I did have to take it to Ford, i just reinstalled the exhaust and set everything back to stock. No problems what so ever.
