    It's always great to see a Cummins the way it's supposed to be! Sounds great and I'm sure the owner will be super satisfied with the increased reliability and fuel mileage. I love that FCA is now sending out notices for the 67A recall for the PCM because of the fine against Cummins. I know most owners will absolutely be throwing that notice into the trash heap, where it belongs. Owners would be wise to never take their trucks back to the dealer at this point, because you know they'll perform that update while it's in for service and I'm sure it's really going to choke down the engine even more.

    I just looked into Diesel Dudes delete kit for my 24 F250. They're kit without stainless piping, without a tip and just downpipe back was pretty much $4500.
    The same kit at Elite Diesel WITH a full stainless exhaust turbo back and a 7" tip, same tuner, same EGR delete with bypass was $3800.
    Don't get ripped off peeps!

    While doing the delete it might also make sense to replace the grid heater (aka intake system) which is known to melt a bolt and drop into the intake. The pieces end up in the # 6 cylinder and catastropihic engine failure.

    16k installed. its a whole other animal after. takes a bit for the trans to learn the shift pints even with the co pilot trans tune you cant tune. holds a gear longer up and down and has an amazing tow mode and exhaust brake thatll stop a train. headbolts..banks intake setup and 5 inch exhaust with ats stage 2 turbo are next. 600 hp or so with 1300 ft lbs right now.

      The tune that comes in the bundle, does it have the option to keep HP and trans stock? Sorry if that sounds stupid still trying to learn everything. Basically just want everything bad out while still keeping my engine and transmission the same as to not tear anything up.

    Thanks so much for posting this video! Just picked up the kit for a 2017 3500 DRW LB but unfortunately I have the 3.42 rear end so I'm nervous about the transmission holding up. 100k miles on the truck pre-surgery. At 10:20 you start discussing the "easy rolling" into passing a vehicle. Is this basically all I can do to keep my transmission for as long as possible or are there other things I might be able to do to protect it? I do know the previous owner and he babied it as well (stock daily driver, 5k oil changes etc). I'm a feather foot myself and just want fuel economy and reliability out of this kit. Besides how can I best protect or baby the tranny question...with the EZ link what is my best tune going to be for hauling 5k lbs in the bed around flat lands and through mountains? It's a Lance 1172 slide-in truck bed camper and she is a big beast. On my order, Unfortuantely I did not receive my 4" muffler that I ordered...just two 4" straight pipe sections so I have to call TDD on Monday.

    Deleted trucks (light duty especially) are generally way more efficient, run better, tow better, last longer and do it all while making more power. It’s a shame how frowned up deleting a truck is. The sound alone from an uncorked Cummins is worth it, she sounds like a pissed off tractor.

    the tuning on that doesn't take care of def guage/warning light? i just deleted my 19 cummins with the kit from dirty diesel customs. i just did the single tune on the efi live tuner rather than the multiple with selector knob but the tune has my def level at 100% so no dash lights on. having that on would drive ne nuts lol

      Yeah you could but once you program the truck with the ez lynk you probably won’t want the pedal commander anyways because the ez lynk tunes will increase throttle sensitivity.

      Where I live most people delete to increase reliability. It’s pretty typical to have a emission system component fail every winter, with lengthy downtimes. Hell, the dealerships where I live tell the customers to just delete their trucks.

    I have a 21 Mega cab dually. I can’t get over 16mpg to save my life. And I get 10-11mpg towing. Don’t really matter the weight.
    I want to delete for fuel mileage mostly. But also, my truck gave me a “service def” at 30k miles in the middle of a long distance tow… seems the emission systems on these rigs are the weakest link.

    Kyle, thanks for all the info. I’m running a 2017 6.7 in Ontario and just had my first DEF service scare. Cured with a recall software update. I’m after reliability only. I tow a 35ft boat twice a year and my Harley trailer down south in the winter. Empty the rest of the time. I’m running 37’s so I didn’t lift and mod the truck to worry about MPG, don’t care about that. So my question’s are…will full delete affect my trucks overall reliability? Is there a kit that leaves it “looking stock”? Is there a Diesel shop in Southern Ontario that you recommend to do the delete mod for me? I could do it but I’m semi retired and lazy now. Once again thanks for your time.

    • @frogger2011ify
      @frogger2011ify Рік тому

      I would delete personally in Canada unless you are willing to freeze every morning. The EGR only runs when the engine is below 60c you shouldn't bring your rpm over 2k until your engine is over 60c. The delete doesn't really add power. The tune does that and it does lessen the exhaust back Pressure removing the scr however the new emission systems have there flaws worked out pretty well so they don't really restrict it that much.
      Then the other issue is if you have a 2500 which has the 68rfe the worst tranny in existence then you are asking for trouble by upping the power if that was your concern a 3500 high output is the truck you want. Personally I think 800ftlb is a ton of torque. Pulled my 40 foot long destination unit from Ottawa to northern Alberta with no problems
