DPF Delete

[brmt41]

Been thinking about the DPF delete kits. Has anyone done this, if so, was it worth it. Have been doing alot of reading and it seems the DPF is what is holding back the true potential of the diesel systems?

Do it! You'll love your truck even more! I have absolutely ZERO regrets on deleting my DPF and DOC.

I wish it was that easy. We have bi-annual inspections in California. I do not know if El Dorado Hills has them or not. Check to make SURE you don't have inspections. We have them in Mendocino county, which shocked me! I just looked at a map and you appear to live in Sacramento county, so you are probably screwed.

Thanks for the info.. Fine69, where did you pick up your kit, I was looking at a company called "gearboxz". They seem to be pretty squared away in regards to the systems they sell.

So DaveBen, I'm guessing then that you have not gotten rid of your DPF. Whats your opinion on the matter, would you if given the chance

 

[DaveBen]

I do not have the DPF, but I still have all of the junk the truck came with...

I bought all my stuff from Rudy's, link below. Inspections are no big deal, it takes about an hour to go back to stock if needed. Keep in mind, you can't just buy a DPF delete, you need a tuner also.

are the inspections just visual? I know some one that just bought a used dpf and hollowed it out and reinstalled easily passes visual test.

worth every penny in my eyes!!! No more regen, WAY better milage, and with the minimaxx programmer that I have......WAY MORE POWER!!!!!

Yes the inspections are mostly visual, but they plug in a scanner to check if the engine computer is reporting any problems.
