re: Help me delete my 2011 6.7

You'll definitely get better fuel mileage and not doing regens anymore will help turbo life.

My dpf is already clogged too. It's doing several regens per tank. I need Ford to clean it out, under warranty. Once it clogs again, it's coming off. If Ford denies warranty on it, after I raise hell, I'll delete.

They should replace it under warranty. Gonna be tough to convince them that it needs to be changed though.

If you're clogging DPFs at low miles, you should delete the entire truck and get a new one. Something is probably wrong with it.

I would just like to note this thread gives me a mild case of paranoia.

The guy that had the fuel pump issues, any signs or warnings or just totally took a dump?

I've recently developed an under hood buzzing sound that's noticeable louder than what it's ever been. Been trying to gauge my level of concern.

How many miles do you have on the truck? Eta: nevermind I see it.

That's very early to be plugged up. You should fight to have it replaced and not just cleaned.

If plugging up at 50k is normal for these things you should delete 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.

Aye this be true. My Uncle did it to his 2008 3500 4x4 Cummins. Said he would do it 10/10 times. Gained almost 200 HP and 100 torques. Plus when he puts it in the economy setting on his computer chip he gets 25mpg on the highway. I don't know if this will destroy the engine in the long run but for now his truck is a beast. When we had that massive ice storm he spent 28 straight hours in it pulling cars out of ditches or ferrying people from the interstate to a shelter. Helped over 500 people. That truck is full of awesome.

The best thing about deleting a diesel is getting rid of the piece of crap DEF system. DEF systems have left me stranded on the side of the road at least 10 times, I kind of lost count. This was in 6 different trucks from 2 different companies on 2 different sides of the country. DEF sucks everywhere.

A family friend had the SCT DPF on tuner and hated it due to excessive regens. Ended up just doing a full delete. I've heard good about the Banks deal but still a bit leary of boxed tunes.

It won't hurt the engine.

If he beats on it he'll eat a transmission pretty quick, but that's to be expected with that much more power than it was designed for.

I would never tune a truck with the emissions system still on it. That is begging for some very expensive problems.

NEVER frick with a diesel that has any type of emissions control stuff on it or you will almost definitely have problems.

That's why mine is getting replaced at 100k. It's $1200 but 1/8 the price of a repair. It's too late to start adding centine but I will with the new one.
