I would bulletproof it and leave it stock.

Sct is on its way, for monitoring and diagnostics. I will delete, may stud it if needed. Ill be happy if I get 8 or so years out if it without to many headaches.

My '05 F-350 is studded, deleted and mostly bullet-proofed. Being a CC/LB dually 4x4, she ain't light, but pulled a 22' Dual tandem axle GN with 200 TIGHT bales of Brome Hay at roughly 110#ea down the highway just fine. I figure the trailer and load were at CDL weight...

I've been a tech at a GM dealship for over 21 years.
I always tell people, buy which one has the features you want, at a price you can afford, because they are all machines, and will break.
Auto shops dont exist because they run forever!

Had to drive 35 miles today to get the exhaust filter clean, which is pretty annoying.

 

[redline4]

Yeah, that happens if you hit alot of stop and go traffic when its attempting a regen.

Just drive around in 1 or 2 banging off the limiter

I was driving 70 mph in 4 and 5... 65 in 4th is about 2500 rpm. This thing revs a little better than my Cummins did.

 

[cgraham1]

Hitting 3200 RPM in my Cummins was like slamming on the brakes...

I am torn between waiting out my warranty vs taking dpf/egr off now. i am leaning more towards taking it off now.

Since the smog equipment is required by the EPA, it is illegal to remove any of it... a buddy (who is a California Highway Patrol officer) told me that the EPA already sets up roadside checkpoints (with the aid of CHP) to look for missing DPFs (among other things), and it’s a huge fine if you get caught. He personally doesn’t give a chit.

 

[stihl livin]

I’ve heard the fine is close to 20k. I loved my deleted duramax I had but I’m happy with the ram I have now and plan to leave it stock.

 

[Agr516]

That all sounds Communist to me. I can understand the concern with being in California where they enforce that crap. I don't think they care much about it here.

EPA doesn’t work for California... they could show up anywhere in the US and set up checkpoints. I agree that it’s stupid, but it is something to think about before removing the DPF.

 

[Roadfxr]

I always said when I bought my Cummins in 13 if I ever had any problems after warranty was over I’d delete it right away. Well I’m at 220,000 and it’s still completely stock and no problems to report at all.

 

[RI Chevy]

Good deal. You really put some miles on your truck.

The one I heard of here was in South Dakota so like Clint said it can happen anywhere. You never know where they will be and when. With all the tractor trailers on the roads these days you can never be to careful
