Looking at a 2016 Ford. Deletion involves egr elimination, a tuner, and muffler work. Supposed to be worth a 25% increase in fuel efficiency . To be used in rural south texas so inspection not an issue.

I’d you never have to get it inspected in a place that checks emissions…..

…..and you buy an extended warranty. Because it’s a Ford Powerstroke.

If in good general condition, I wouldn’t hesitate. The delete is worth the price.

yes, buy it. Don't keep your foot in it all the time. Keep up with all the stuff.

The diesel Fords are maintenance and reliability nightmares. Hopefully the deletion of all the emissions stuff changes that. I imagine it reduces complexity a little.

But the previous owner was clearly the kind of guy that likes to mod his truck. Which IMO is a very bad thing especially for a naturally compromised vehicle.
