hows the new f250sd??
- Thread starter dunes dude
- Start date
I've spoken with both KEM and Spartan diesel. These trucks are seeing a 200dyno proven horsepower gain. Matt's truck put down 490 horses and 854 lb-ft of torque.
I've heard some great mileage numbers with these tunes as well. I plan on picking up my tuner in the next week or so with the DPF delete and I will post my results. If the gains are anywhere near what they are claimed, the tuner/dpf delete will pay for itself in under 12k miles. That's less than 5 months for me...
Whats the ticket on the tuner, if you don't mind me asking. Also, can you install the tune yourself, do you need to replace the exhaust, etc?

Yeah like stated before, it was like 490hp and 854 ft. lbs of torque.
These new 6.4's will soon become the hot rods of the diesel world. Throw in some moddified 100hp injectors, a custom CP3 setup, and some turbo tweaking, and I can see these things pushing easily 600+hp and over 1000ft lbs of torque. Duramax's beware
.
The spartan guy was saying that he had 7K on the tune so far (last time I read) and he said everything was holding up fine. He also said that fuel economy increased dramatically to 19+mpg highway. I guess it has a more aggresive torque converter lockup program in it to lock it up sooner = better fuel economy.

I was wondering the same thing. Can you just delete the regen or have to do exhaust at the same time.

HI JAY2008, YOU don't have to change the exhaust, the programmer has a DPF DELETE, all I would do is put an aftermarket air filter kit!!!!!

there was a link to a great write up on another powerstroke forum about deleting the dpf, cat and staight piping the 6.4 and turning off the regen . The guy who did it was named Julian. I cant remember the site now, its a long read like 45-50 pages of the process. Long story short...it can be done now. I'm going to search again and try to post a link.
