I disagree that the systems help cut down on emissions. I was getting 8-10 miles per gallon with the systems on. After DPF/CAT/EGR delete I am now getting 17-22 miles per gallon. Seems to me that using less fuel is much greener than the systems benefits.
Before I did my mods I looked into getting the DPF replaced as mine was bad and my pressure sensor was bad as well. But, I didn't know the sensor was bad until I did my mods. My regen cycle would kick on 3-6 times per day and my commute is 6 miles one way. A new DPF filter was $1793 plus a couple hundred extra to have it put on. I ended up spending just under $2000 for the tuner, delete pipes, and cold air intake. I am so glad that I went with the mods instead of changing the filter.
Also, my diesel buddy mechanic claims that with the mods I should be able to get up to 500,000 miles out of this truck/drive train. Factory stock diesels are luck if they can get 200,000 miles. So, I spent $2000 to double the life of my truck!? That sounds like an intelligent investment to me.

Just purchased a 2008 F250 Lariat 6.4L and am very interested in a dpf/cat delete along with egr delete and programming. I'm wanting to improve mpg but also have the power option for pulling a gooseneck trailer. My main concern is will these mods make my truck smoke? I prefer to keep it as clean as I can.
