Just used this and your dpf video to do my truck. By far some of the best tutorial videos I’ve watched. Saved a lot of time just by you saying bolt sizes and being very descriptive on how to get access to everything. Thank you very much!!
Thanks man, I for one reallllly appreciate the ultra detailed videos. Thanks for taking the time to make it and leave everything in. Will be doing my truck shortly. Trying to find a good detail video for intake manifold removal.
The long videos are great. Can watch the video first then watch it again pausing the video every few minutes to make sure I don't miss a step. Great video thanks!
I’m that dude that pissed off the teachers for asking lots of questions. Thanks for the detailed video. This was like a hands on approach and that’s how I learn this stuff. Greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for the help. The job took us 12 hrs for the full delete. Long form of video was very helpful. Ended up cutting the sensor that comes off the back of the motor.
this has to be the best step by step video I have seen on UA-cam, well done... thinking of getting a Gladiator w/Gen3 EcoDiesel and first thing I want to do is delete the emissions crap that is killing a diesel engine
Thankfully I did all that at 5,000 miles. Now at 175,000 trouble free miles. Averaged over 30 mpg ever since. Kept the DPF to keep things clean, though.
This was super helpful! Im half way through my EGR Delete but, could not find any detailed instructional vids to on the remaining install. Great job with your vid man. Camera man did awesome well too lol. Thanks!
Of course we live in Canada .I had a buddy do mine ..not easy. And he knows his stuff. Did it all and put a 50 tune on it .put a straight pipe from turbo to muffler runs super great highway flats roads 70 mph 32 miles pw gallon in city 22 to 24. Some smoke when I hit the turbo hard
Seriously why doesn't anybody wash their engine bay before doing a video. 1. it looks better 2. you can see the parts/screws better 3. you don't accidently get dirt in the wrong place....BTW GREAT Video
Is there a way to delete the EGR cooler and not get caught by emissions inspections? When they plug the electronic reader into the truck, will the computer tell them the egr is gone. Also, I think emission is my State even takes photographs inside the hood. Is there a way to install a dummy device that will fool the inspector?
Be very careful to not over torque the plate going onto the intake manifold. The bolts supplied are very weak. I felt like I was barely giving it any torque and snapped one. Nothing a left hand drill bit couldn’t take care of. Just wanted y’all to be aware.
the computer of the truck needs to be reprogramed to not be looking for an EGR in the system if it's looking for one and doesn't find one because you removed it then you get a check engine light and limp mode
Thanks, I like the detail of the longer version. Wow, what a cluster f***! I appreciate the effort to clean up the engine exhaust but when it destroys the engine in the process! Come on Ram, Get real!
I have a 2018 eco diesel and the dash reads 100% DpF full go see dealer. Well I did that and they said my filer is 150% FULL and it can not do a regeneration. They want to charge me $5000 to replace the DPF. My truck only has 60,000 on it and I do a lot of highway driving. Please any help and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Your video is awesome. Where can I send my ECM to have tuned?
Hey man I love the video. What did you do to remove the check engine light? Did you use a tune? If so which? I find so many options but nothing clear I’d love to hear from someone who actually did it not theoretically
I know this is an old video, and I’m asking a stupid question here but I’m trying to find the Air intake throttle valve sensor to disconnect before running the truck (2014 ram eco diesel) same delete kit you got from diesel dudes. I can not find the aitv, any help would be really really appreciated.
its on top of the engine facing forward toward the radiator but there is no point removing it. you wont gain any power also it will keep the engine from running away if you ever have an injector failure
@@samswildgarage8805 right, im not looking for power boosts or anything. But in the instructions for the egr delete kit it says to unplug the sensor or it will have issues/fail to rev up.
Why Not invent an after market system that routes the EGR Gas back into the Engine AFTER it goes through the DPF Filter? ( I am Not a Mechanic but this seems logical)
Considering buying a 2016. Is 144,000 miles to high mileage. Im not sure if it's been deleted or not. I've just heard so many terrible things about these engines. My daily commute is 40 miles, and I know it's harder on the diesels if your not letting them warm up and and not keeping the filters clear.
Thanks! Benefits include not pumping exhaust into your engine causing carbon build up Also you remove the risk of a egr cooler leak because it has coolant flowing through it You will need a tune to get rid of CEL But like a said in the video your best bet is just to get a complete kit For dpf egr scr delete and tune It only cost 1500$ CAD for the kit I used that included a tune
@@samswildgarage8805 wow. That's a great deal. I wanted to start deleting my truck considering I past the warranty already. Just dont know where to start.
Does the EGR delete require a CPU tune, or is it good to go right after removing parts and replacing with delete parts? And is there any danger to the engine by deleting the EGR? Thanks for Great detailed video!
Do you have a specific tune/ECM that you recommend for the delete? Also, I have heard that it is better to do the ECM/tune before doing the delete of EGR and DPF - is this correct?
your exhaust will stink now that it's deleted but i would look for an exhaust leak near the engine because it's not normal for it to be getting in the cab
Did you face any issue or it’s better ? I have 2022 limited As I know there are 2 EGR System high and low pressure, so per the video you deleted the high pressure what about the low pressure?
Finally getting around to doing this on my 2014. My only question is the metal coolant piping that you connected to the bracket where the Egr was. Did I connect back into the same spot? Thanks!
Just finished my EGR delete and almost done with DPF, did you tape up or fill in your loose wires and connectors? I had to cut those two top connectors off of the exhaust that you did, was able to save the rest. Is it best to fill in the connectors with something?
Because your intake manifold with get caked with soot and causing your swirl valves to not function properly in turn breaking your swirl valve actuator
Hey man, a few questions. How’s the truck coming along since all of this? Have you noticed any soot buildup at all? Also, would the GDE tune essentially do the same thing or is this tune more thorough? Lastly, with the reflashing would of thr ECU deleting the check engine light would my truck still pass Texas emissions or is the check engine light being removed just for show?
Flash tuner instead of bench flash will shut off the egr ( the biggest trouble maker)and its codes on a Stage 1 tune. Stage 2 is this type of full delete. Stage 1= all parts stays on the truck and you can flash your stock tune for testing or dealer visits. Get the trans tune too, it's what helps fuel mileage
@@jobbymctuned6584 who’s a good flash tuner, bought my truck with a tune and mechanic shop reflashed it trouble shooting a low fuel pressure issue it was having
Many vendors have a plug in program "loader" that gets plugged into the OBD plug to transfer files. Search and shop for your needs. Be sure to mention the history of your ECU.
Sam, since I live in a state that requires yearly diesel emissions tests - is it possible just to install the blocker plates and leave everything in place to easily reactivate the system for emissions?? I can deal with the component weight and check eng light. Thanks for the detailed video here.
the problem is the dpf will get clogged if you program out all emissions. you could block off just the egr and run factory tune but it might go into limp mode
Hello. I'm thinking about doing a stage I or stage II delete on my 2017 Ram 1500 eco diesel. Did you replace the OEM tuner with another tuner? What tuner did you replace it with? Does the tuner prevent the check engine light or any other emission warning light from coming on when you did the engine delete? If not, what did you do to prevent those lights from coming on? Do you have a manufacture and part number and who sells it? If doing a stage II engine delete, do I need to replace the exhaust, or can I keep my existing exhaust? Thanks!
I know you posted this a year ago, and this might be a stupid question, but I bought an eco diesel a few weeks ago. The seller told me he thinks the egr was deleted. Is there anything I can check to make sure?
yes! just pull the plastic cover off the top of your engine and check for the metal plate bolted on to your plastic intake manifold you will see it in my video with the little screw in the middle that i babbled on about putting a boost sensor in
@@samswildgarage8805 Thanks man, the seller also told me the dpf was deleted and the truck has been tuned, if that is true would straight piping it have any effect on my power of fuel economy? All that’s left on my exhaust is a muffler.
@@aguyonastreet no! it will just make more noise most tunes for ecodiesel max out at +75hp you might gain a few hp if you went to a full 4in from the manifold back but not worth the money in my opinion
you can just blank it off! and the parts came in the kit to give you that option . but i fealt it better to remove the egr because then that's one less possible coolant leak
took the ecu out and brought it in and they flashed it on the bench make sure the you unhook the battery long before removing the ecu or it with throw a code when you re install. if you have a scanner to delete code then no worries
@@samswildgarage8805 did you have to send your ecu off to get programming? I have the tuner kit but was told there may be an intermittent check engine light because of the transmission tune

You have to do it all at the same
Time
You’ll need a spare vehicle to drive while your Ecu is being flashed
Technically speaking. all you have to do is pull the egr tube to the intake manifold and block it off. the dpf has to come off though.
@@richardhill9294 yes you are correct
its just nice to remove egr cooler as well. that way you wont have leaks down the road
Is it necessary to remove all this or is it sufficient to simply use a programmer to leave the EGR actuator closed?
you can reprogram it to stay closed but there will still be water running through it and it could crack at some point
Legit, amigo! Looking to do this soon.
thanks
Was taking the exhaust dpf off hard? Did you make a video for that
