As always good video man, just a tidbit the reason there’s two rads is because there’s two independent cooling systems on these trucks. Iirc the secondary goes to the EGR. The primary wouldn’t have to be drained. I have also found the best way to burp the system is crack the overflow cap and run the truck on hi idle (~1800) for about 5 then shut down and top off. I then replace cap andrun the truck hard around the block then top off again. And of course monitor for next few drives and top off as needed.So far that has worked for me.
Another tip too, you only need to drain the secondary like you said, but instead of getting to that drain valve, I just drain it right at the trans cooler and take a line off, it’s the lowest point of the system and you don’t get dirt in your nice clean coolant bucket👍
I just did mine with 90K. Getting 19.5 MPG around town. And it runs great. 40 hp tune. So mileage is my concern. Can’t say enuf about it. Great. Awesome. Did the easy link And the muffler. 22.5 mpg at 65 mph all day. Slight puff of smoke when getting on it. And black soot coats the tail pipe now. It smells rich now. A person who knows what to look for will spot your deletion quick
Your content is mint. May comment about fast action while you work. Your detail is great, but to have a 10 second clip of your elbow grease working would be great.
The military orders their super duty’s without emissions. So there are OEM parts and tunes for these trucks. I wonder if you could get your hands on those some how. Through a gov contractor maybe
When you disconnect the def injection line, will def come out? Is one of the plugs that you use from the kit to plug the line or does it not need anything? Do you just leave the def tank alone? Are there any concerns just leaving a half full def tank forever more?
He’s gonna say that to sell his stuff I put everything he makes on my 17 L5P and my truck doesn’t regenerate on it’s own anymore blows soot on a cold start and on initial take off keeps throwing a p2002 code dpf below threshold ‼️but of course there’s something else wrong with the truck they say not they’re equipment….. and now I have no choice but to …….delete it‼️
I agree, he just wants to sell his stuff. But there is a bit of truth in it. You want to make sure you’re using tunes from a well established reputable company. The diesel dudes uses GDP tunes which is a great company, but also why the price is slightly higher then other companies. But you DO NOT want to cheap out on your tuning.
@@darkirondiesel hell no I completely agree with that’s why I went with diesel dude’s and have done a lot of research on the GDP tuning hands down one of the best 🤙🏼 waiting on my order now I’m gonna throw an email to them and tell them that I follow your channel see if they’ll kick some your way💵
ordered mine from tuner depot, plugged in to computer to get the serial numbers and the auto flasher tells me “check usb driver, may not be installed correctly” any help ??
@@BIGmike_shoots i think it is 5 yr / 50k miles for emissions warranty. I am just worried about voiding the 10yr 100k warranty. It is not my daily driver so i would probably hit 10 years before i hit the mileage. I dont know, it is tempting to just do it.
I'd actually prefer that method than overwriting the current ECM. If I have to move to a communist state, then I can at least swap the original ECM back in and hook up all that garbage EPA crap. Or if I want to sell it thru a dealer.
Ya I saw that. The military gets factory deleted powerstrokes because they need reliability. But I guess the common working men that build America don’t deserve the reliability. What a joke.
my only question on the exhaust is do they only have them coming out the side i have been wanting to have it more like the chevy and gmc for the Duramax it doesn't really matter but i just wanted to know if they had the straight pipe in different angles
They dont offer it in different tailpipe configurations but if you’re somewhat handy with a welder you could modify it yourself fairly easily. Also I just bought a $200 welder off Amazon and it works amazing even on 110v
Because removing the parts is pretty straight forward, it’s just nuts and bolts, but tuning can be complicated. Sometimes (more common with trucks that are already in limp mode) the first tune doesn’t clear all the codes or take it out of limp mode. You have to work with the tuning company to try a couple tune files until you get one that works. And sometimes if you remove the emissions first you can’t clear the codes or get them to go away without reinstalling all the sensors and emission modules. Usually it doesn’t matter if you tune first or not, but on the off chance it does you’ll be glad you tuned it first haha. Hope that makes sense.
This is my question as well. I’ve heard the inboard ECM plug needs to be unplugged also. But somebody else said this was only to ensure the ECM doesn’t get a short from water intrusion at one of the electrical plugs that was disconnected at the exhaust. Wonder if this difference is due to what tuner you are running??!? This was my thought anyway.
Another question is why do the 3 plugs still need to be disconnected in the engine bay if you leaving the EGR in? I just did a truck and left everything plugged in under the hood. No messages or anything on start up. So weird people say different things.
Because the egr can potentially still function if you leave it plugged in, and leaving the throttle valve plugged in can cause weird issues on certain occasions too like idle surging or rpm fluctuation. The far right plug on the ecm is all your emissions so you can unplug that connector if you’d like.
I was checking out their website and it says the tune will only add up to 55hp for a 2022. I wish there was a different tune you could upgrade to for more power.
Which website says 55hp? I'm in the process with my '22 and there is no horse power increase(maintain stock levels) and may lead to decrease in MPG, according to GDP
@@darkirondiesel Ya and I get all the extra reliability and fuel mileage! do you think I will need to buy an additional chip though or will they just be able to do an update for the current chip
Oh never mind, It must be a mistake, I emailed them and asked them to change it. On the 2022 kit there’s a 5” exhaust option but not on the 2020-2021, but the exhausts are the exact same, so I’ll make sure they fix that asap!
