advice on 50k-100k LMM's...
I thinking about purchasing a good used 2500HD with 50-100K miles on it. Is there anything in particular I should be concerned with when purchasing with this type of mileage on it? Any particular maintenance items I should be concerned with? Andy advice would be greatly appreciated.
(PS - I have been going back and forth between purchasing used LMM or Cummins 6.7)
Thanks,
Clint

So I've read a little on DPF deleting with the LMM's. This is what I have gathered thus far:
- get some sort of exhaust bypass
- get a tuner to kill the ReGen process. (EFI Live?)
- Unplug the EGR or use tuner?
I'm a n00b on this stuff so still learning. Please feel free to correct and steer me in the right direction.
Is it possible to put things back to stock if a warranty claim is needed?

H&S makes some pretty good DPF delete kits, that remove the stock exhaust and replace it with a free-flowing 4" unit, and also fool the ECM into thinking there is nothing wrong with the DPF operation
You can block the EGR with a Blocker plate, but you need to eliminate the EGR code the ecm will throw, which can be done with some tuners
EFI live is awesome if you know how to use it, but it takes some skill and patience to get it right
What is your budget for mods?

the only difference in sound with a 5" is that it is a little deeper, but for the price premium you gain no extra power, its only worth it if you plan on going big for power
heres what my plan is for you to keep around your budget
pre-tuned DSP5 ECM from duramaxtuner.com(has five on the fly selectable tunes from stock maximized for mileage to a 417hp race tune) these are the tunes I run and I love them, and if you want to return it to stock at some point you can keep your stock ECM and swap it back in and the dealership would be no wiser
Stock Trans - Stock Turbo DSP5 ECM | DURAMAXTUNER.COM
4" magnaflow exhaust
and autometer boost and EGT gauges and A-pillar
that should work perfectly for you, and be around your budget
Hope that helps
