Going to get mine done soon and starting to look around for prices. Want EGR and DPF done and wondering what the average cost would be.

What is this and why do people do it?

Depending on your level of mechanics and year model you can do it yourself in a day for little cost.

I did mine but lost it in a boating accident

In a nut shell, you remove all of the emissions related components on the truck and reprogram it to run normally without it.
Of course this is illegal for any on-road vehicle in the US. It will greatly improve reliability via removing lots of parts and improve fuel mileage via eliminating regens, and possibly pre/post injection depending on the programming.
Again, illegal for on-road vehicles. Not difficult to do the hard part work, more difficult to find someone to program it.

Yep...the parts are easy but the Feds have come down hard on the folks that write the tunes.

How in the hell would they catch you for this?

Rolling coal in TX has some serious consequences if caught

NOx sniffers exist and I believe operating a deleted truck on the highway is playing with some federal reg violations. I have no idea how often this happens.
You may or may not get caught and I'm not sure what happens if you do.

Mine is almost at 100k. I’ll fix what breaks when it does but not playing with that. I’m sure the penalties would be significant. Not worth it to me.

I will certainly keep mine 100% in tact. If I had a pre-def truck my plans would probably be different.
It is very frustrating to know that you can remove a pile of parts and significantly improve reliability and fuel economy.

I deleted my 2011 6.7
Worth it and ran much better.
I wont delete my 2016 6.7
It runs much better stock.

deleted mine 80,000 miles ago power is night and day Picked up around 2 mpg but truck has been dependable since. Cost was around $2500. Did full egr delete with shift on the fly tuner.have a straight pipe with resonator but kept stock tip so as not to draw too much attention. Will role coal when I get on it. Also upgraded the turbo pipe

Similarly here, my DEF sending unit was going out and of course I was a couple thousand miles out of warranty. My choice was either replace the sending unit and maybe have a similar issue again later or delete, cost was pretty much the same either way. I did a pretty simple tuner, delete pipe(just replaced the DPF, looks stock otherwise), No Limit intake, and S&B aluminum intercooler pipe(most should do this even if stock). I’ve had it done for a couple years and about 50,000 miles so far, no issues, picked up a couple MPG, runs better, etc. I’m pretty easy on it and don’t beat the crap out of it.
I do have to do the dreaded cab bushing soon though

Replacing the cab bushings isn't as bad as people make it out too be.
Go around the whole cab and loosen the bolt and nuts that hold each bushing. Get yourself some floor jacks and lift and replace each bushing one at a time, then let the jack down and move to the next.. might help to spray penetrating oil on the bolts the day before.

If you find somewhere that has the tunes please let me know
Posted on 12/29/20 at 9:15 am to KingRanch
I'm surprised that part is a problem. Its perfectly legal for off-road use. Shouldn't be any harder to find than a non-emissions race car engine tune.
Since yours is likely just a farm truck that does not get used on the highway (make this part clear when calling around) than it shouldn't be too much of a problem?
I had heard the EPA had started really cracking down on the guys who were doing diesel toons.

Funny you say that my truck squeaks and rattles like an old mattress. Pops and grinds like crazy when going over rough terrain. Crawled under there the other day and some of the bushings seems completely gone on the underside of the mounts
