barkrulz is right on.

 

I talked to a guy yesterday and he said he works on these trucks with the DPF. He said he takes it off and runs a staight pipe. He aslo says he reprograms the computer so the check engine light does not come on and so the emmissions check will not detect no faults. Another thing he said was this improves the MPG and that this DPF was the worst thing that could have happened to the newer diesel engines.


What you think?

 

Ive seen several that this happened to

 

I want to convert my 6.7 into a 5.9 exhaust system. I will take off the DPF and have the computer to the vehicle reprogrammed to the specification of the 5.9. Another words, my truck will have a staight pipe and blow all that soot out like it was intended to. I was talking to a dealer rep yesterday and he said this was the best thing for this type of vehicle. The trick was you have to find someone who has the equipement to reprogram the computer so that everything is fine with the emmisions.

 

Just buy a tuner, several of them reprogram so that everything works fine with the DPF removed.

 

sectionchief you scare me...

order a tuner (h&s or Smarty)
order a delete pipe or a tbe 5.9 exhaust
order an egr delete kit

install the exhaust, and egr deletes
install the programmer

keep your tune between 60 and 100hp (if you get a smarty keep the revo settings stock especially on the torque)

fueling shouldnt be an issue.

Tranny... depends on how you drive, depends on which one you have

I roasted my stock clutch in the first week (because nobody told me what i told you earlier)
auto seems to be stouter, however overdrive clutches seem to have issues as well (h&s makes an overdrive tune to help here.)

 

Agreed
