Hey Dirty:

Do it if you don't have any visual inspectiosn or a pain in the butt dealer. Most of our LMM customers come to us getting 13-16 MPG and they have been able to get back up to 18-20 MPG +.....

Most states have a law against removing factory exhaust if it increases noise. Federal law (which local law enforcement can't enforce) mandates you can NOT remove the DPF. Unless you live in an inspection state, you probably won't have to worry about it.

Only if you were in the throttle really hard.

Why would you have a check engine light? You do realize you have to program the truck before you pull the stuff off right?

After the soot builds up over time, the onboard computer controls fuel injection to allow unburned fuel to enter the filter at measured intervals where it flares off and generates increased temperatures that burn up the accumulated soot. All it is really does is eliminate emmisions for the enviorment and bog down the engine if you do remove it i think your bound to see improvemnts in power and mileage, might be illegal in california or something though. Hoped i helped good luck

These DPF's have an internal and pre DPF pressure sensors that determine when a "re-gen" is needed ...
the newer trucks that are running the DEF( Diesel Exhaust Fluid ) are reporting much better fuel econemy and power ... it pushes a blen of urea ( like 65 % urea and 35% water ) to keep the DPF and catilist clean and flowin gmore of the time and =not tossing Fuel at the catilist to burn off the waste and soot from poor tuning can cause ...

I have several busses, trucks and such all running different tunes from what the factory has them set at ... a tuner will help if you would not like to pull the DPF unit ...
