Purchased a 2011 F250 a few weeks back. It has 50k miles on it and has a little of warranty left. Once my warranty runs out, I want to delete. I know that H&S Mini Maxx tuners are the top tuners but they are going for over $1800 now.

Does anybody know of a budget but safe way to get a DPF delete tune on these trucks?

I will be using a 4" Flo Pro exhaust with muffler, some sort of intake, and a full EGR delete kit from Sinister. Just trying to figure this tuner thing out.

Don't do it, trust me


Eta: You will not get better advice than that in the remainder of this thread

Is this the mod that makes diesels very unbearably loud?

I don't recommend doing it.

Since you're going to do it anyway though, spend the money on the best programmer you can buy. Don't half-arse this or it could possibly cost you a whole lot.

With muffler, no.

To everybody else, we aren't friends today.

6.7s are starting to have big problems from what I have been hearing. It isn't worth it unless you have a spare $20k sitting around for an engine swap when yours does blow up

My buddy just had to bring his in for over $8k of work under warranty.

Ford paid for it fortunately.

Such as? I spoke to my BIL who owns a speed shop and a 6.7 yesterday. He says he would buy one again in a heartbeat. He has regular street tuners but is too busy to write off road tunes right now.

Nobody on Powerstroke forums has heard of these problems either. Not on a widespread level at least.


To the last poster, Cummins and Powerstroke are two different engines and that's definitely not what I want.

Grenaded high pressure fuel pump.

Not entirely sure what caused it. There were some other issues also because of fuel pump parts being in the fuel rail. It was a pretty terrible job I think it was in the shop for 2.5 weeks.

Yep. The good ole HPFP. Ford blames water in the fuel. Bosch blames lack of lubricant in the low sulfur diesel. I blame it on the fuel pump being a POS. But yeah, that causes huge problems if it grenades. I will be replacing mine at 100k for cheap insurance.

Ford tried to not pay for it saying that he had water in his fuel.

Such a load of bullshite. For future reference to those who have one, I think he got around that issue by showing them that the WIF sensor was working and never triggered.

This happened with a 2013 with 50k miles.

I'm not sure what causes it. Bosch pumps are used on a whole lot of engines with no issues.

Thats the typical response from Ford. They are even saying that if your HPFP goes out and you're running a Titan tank, no warranty. Its more than silly.

I want to do this to mine but I'm being a bitch about it. I need this truck to last ~10 years which I'm not certain newer diesels can even do anymore. I'm undecided if removing all the emissions crap will hurt or help in the long run. I have zero need for more power, longevity and better mileage would be awesome.

The new ones last. They just cost a lot more to operate than old ones.

Deleting saves you from changing a DPF and EGR cooler. That's about it.

I wouldn't do it, personally.

The bulk of the issues I've heard about with the 6.7 have occurred in the 450/550 series where they don't run DPF.

This board is the first any only place that I've read people saying to not do it. Every single other forum is full of people saying their mpg went up, egts went down, hp gained 100 easily, and shifts were like butter. Those are all good things, if reliability is there.
