      @HalfShell You can get better performance, and better fuel mileage with the EGR and exhaust delete, however emissions do suffer significantly. Your NOx , CO, CO2, and HC ratings increase dramatically without the DPF, oxidation catalyst, SCR, EGR, etc. The engine does perform better (MPG, HP, and torque) however without them. Not good environmentally however.
      Also technically what he did is very much so illegal. It doesn't matter if the county doesn't perform emissions testing because it's a nation wide regulation. They can incur fines no matter what county they are in if they modify the emissions system on any vehicle. It's just extremely unlikely that they will get caught. Usually someone has to rat them out for anyone to do anything about it.

      If you want to know the real history around here in Northern Colorado, There's a town called Fort Collins which is a big college town, well it has a kind of fancy old town area with a bunch of restaurants and shopping areas with outside seating and lots of foot traffic. Back 2005 ish to present ish times all of the college kids with big diesel trucks thought it would be a good idea to make it a tradition to race up and down the roads going through town and blow smoke on everyone trying to enjoy their evenings. Those are the people that are ruining emissions because now you have all these higher middle class families complaining that their evenings were ruined and then all of the rich businesses owners are mad that their customers are mad which means they don't make as much money. So all of those people start voting for change to happen which spreads county wide. There's also been deaths and bad accidents from people dying when racing up and down the streets which doesn't help. Weld County however which borders whatever county Fort Collins is in pretty much is just a bunch of empty land. But everyone out here drives big diesel trucks and most of them are deleted it's not a secret, the fact is I'm pretty sure it's an un-incorporated county which means lower taxes and lower restrictions on what can and can't happen. Until big towns start springing up here and big corporations move in they're not changing our rules.
      In this country it's money, connections and money that leads to corruption and dumb laws. Plus, even if they tried no one out here is giving up their deleted trucks lol. But you can blame the stupid people blowing smoke out of their trucks for ruining it, people out here are smart enough to run clean burning diesels to not piss people off.

    I hate to be the one to ruin the goo goo eyed plethora of overwhelming love for this configuration of truck, but here is my experience....... I will start by saying I use a truck in its stock form, I'm not into blowing an additional 10-15k on an already 60k truck just to say I have it or look cool or what ever the reason may be for people doing these mods. It is about money and I care nothing about anything other than total cost of ownership, period. I have a meticulous maintenance schedule that I adhere too since I use the truck for work it must be reliable. In march of 2018 I purchased a 2018 Ram 2500 with 6.7 and the manual 6 speed trans. The truck had 42 miles on it when I climbed in it to drive back 200 miles home. Fifteen minutes into the trip I went to adjust the radio know and it came off and sprung into the back seat leaving me with a blaring radio and no way to control it. It was after six and the dealership was already closed, so I just took it home. Went to my local dealer the next day and 3 weeks later I had a new radio. Over the next 6 months I had a laundry list of repairs ranging from fuel filler neck and valve to turbo sensors to steering shafts ect ect. I took the truck on a 1000 mile trip in the summer of 2018 pulling a 4500lb trailer. The entire trip the truck ran 219 degrees with the fan kicking on and off constantly and got 11 mpg running 72 mph. This in my mind was completely unexceptionable so I took it back into the dealer when I got back only for them to tell me this was normal for this truck. I pretty much knew that was going to be the answer and on average the truck would get 16 mpg, so weighing out my options on trading and keeping at this time, I decided to stay in the seat for a while longer. At this point I was back using my old 2014 Diesel Chevy with 200k to pull with due to the fact it ran cool and got better mileage while pulling. Thank God I kept my old truck instead of selling it right away because in October of 2018 with 32 k miles the Ram shells the flywheel with no warning. When I got to the dealership they informed me there was an updated flywheel due to the frequency of this issue on these trucks. However, the service writer told me if it was him he would pay extra and buy and after market because even the update flywheel wasn't that great. I told him no just put the same version back in it and walked out the door. I drove home found another brand new (not Ram) truck online and bought it over the phone. I sold the Ram to a dealer a week later and never looked back. Yeah I think the truck was cool in theory and my intention for buying it was due to the fact that I had a automatic Dodge diesel and had issues with it but at the end of the day things don't always work out as expected. The 2019 truck I replace it with has been fine and does everything I need it to. I know this isn't what most people that love these trucks want to hear, but its my story and hope it was informative.

Ram already made a truck like that....all HD parts from the factory ! DUH ! So I traded it in for a new 2003 Ram CTD, 2500, 6-speed manual, with 4:11 factory gears, that I planned to use sort of like a 1500, and again, knowing all parts were HD. I Tweeked the suspension with some VR springs and tuned shocks, stock wheels and 37x12.50's, and built it a little more from there. NO engine or exhaust mods to keep it legit (it didn't have much smog stuff on it anyway......03 before they smothered it). It is my forever truck. Still going strong in 2020 with 135,000 miles on it. I've never felt underpowered leaving it stock. Great all around on/off road super capable truck.

    I am all for making trucks more reliable and powerful, but this is 100% illegal. This guy could be in for some hefty fines.

      Listen I was going to throw some bad words to you but I won’t. That being stated unfortunately when you have all the emissions on these trucks they burn tons of fuel which become counterproductive. When you delete them the mpg can be 10mpg plus. It runs better and cleaner. I’m all for the environment, however this the best bet for this truck.

      cacaroto god this truck with no emissions on it is still less of a pollutant than any gas burning car so why are you so angry

      you can still text once you hit a wide open stretch where you don't need to shift.

    Nice truck. What's the payload? All the numbers in the world mean nothing if you don't have the payload capacity to support it.
