I rolled 90k on my dodge. I will be looking to do some work to it in a couple months. DPF delete and programmer. Any recommendations?

good luck finding one... EPA shut down production of all the tuners...
if you think you might want one in a couple months, better find/buy now as there are still a few at dealers...
**** those cocksuckers
Don't we go through that every couple years? Or are tuner companies actually shutting their doors
The EPA has just banned the tuners from being able to mess with the emissions equipment on vehicles that came equipped with DPF/ DEF. it gets a little fuzzy with programs such as EFI live which is actually a new zealand company. They can still tune every other aspect just they are not supposed to have the ability to remove the emissions equipment.
Damn I could have gotten one a while back but didn't because of my warrenty. Guess I am glad I didn't because I am already on my second transmission.
Can't they just mark it "For offroad use only" like a lot of aftermarket performance parts are?
No they were in the past but the EPA has said that it doesn't matter if it is on-road or off-road/ racing use the parts can not be removed.Quote:

However Tate it looks like unfortunately your truck is not currently supported.
so are we going to see a bunch of aftermarket ECMs for the new diesel stuff like we did with gas engines when everything went flash programmed?
Anybody with a 2wd 7.3 truck ever put it on a scale to see what the unloaded weight on the front axle is?
Yes, but it was MANY moons ago..
I finally decided to get a gooseneck put in my truck, holy **** they are expensive. Common price was right at 700 installed with the in bed plug. Found out one of my neighbors installs B&W hitches, so I drove over yesterday to get a price quote. Turns out he has a lightly used gooseneck one of his friends pulled out of a 2009 duramax in hopes of putting it in his 13, but they changed the frame rails so it wouldnt fit. As luck would have it, it will fit my 04, so he sold it to me for 200 bucks. so after install and the plug, it is going to cost just 435 dollars. Its getting installed this afternoon.
gooseneck here told me like 500 installed for a new b&w turnover.
I was quoted 550 installed last september here in town, they went up that much in 6 months here
install is easy peasy I have done 3 B&W's obviously the first one was the hardest but you learn a couple tricks. Instructions are easy too
I just found one for my truck for 389 and wiring was 80. Put it in myself in a few hours
You didn't weld anything did you?
Nope
...
Haha, nice!
Things that will cause mileage to drop on a 7.3 truck? It's an 03 auto 4x4, used to get 16.5, now 12.5 empty. No changes to the truck. No lift, has unknown programmer. Changed the fuel filter and cleaned the cone shaped k&n style filter.
Does it seem louder? Is it slow as balls when you first fire it up? If so does it seem better after you hold the pedal to the floor for 5 or 6 seconds? Depending on what's going on I'd guess either a boost or exhaust leak or somethings up with the exhaust back pressure valve/sensor. I'm guessing no codes?
Not louder and not slow. The engine light has been on for years for some bull**** codes, maybe it got some new ones
clean the bowl and lines out, the factory fuel filters suck. there are screens at each of the lines going in to the head
Well the dodge is over 100K, time for some work. What programmer does everyone wack off to? I don't need something with a gazillion hp increase but wouldn't mind a little. DPF delete for sure. Exhaust recommendations?
Travis has a Smarty Jr. seems to work well
Smarty jr or a H&S. Wouldn't worry about exhaust, just put tube in place of nox/dpf and keep muffler and cat. The muffler is there for looks anyway once you get past the dpf stuff. Keep anything you take off!!!
Diesel Truck Resource forums has a hole thread about deleting. Its a good read.
In case anyone with a 7.3 ever gets leaky up pipes, I found a bellowed up pipe kit for 200 on rock auto which is a good $100 less than other places. I read only good reviews. P/N is 679-005
Finally getting in on the diesel circle jerk... 45mpg kicks ass.

You gonna put an intake tuner and exhaust on that thing?
Not going to fk with it until after 100k. In the mean time it will get some window tint since it's ungodly hot outside.
Took me 4 hours to completely uninstall the old sound system and put it back to stock. Will probably be a 30+ hour install to put everything in... beginning this week :D
Here is my box of crap that was removed.

Curious what real life MPG is.
Jeremiah has a 10 and said it used to get 45 but needs some sort of EGR filter and only gets 38 now
Nice ride
Can you delete the EGR? Everything I've seen says emissions equipment only worsens fuel mileage.
dont forget you need to do timing belt every 60k or so
Attachment 19483
Of course I do this after 5 on a Friday. 45k fuel filter change and the socket slipped off the "nut" and it broke. Hope ford is open tomorrow
45k and no issues. Fuel/air filters every 22500. Oil every 7500. $25 in DEF every 6k or so
DFCM cap. Seems like a very common problem. Internet says $20-30 part.
And I thought the duramax filter was a pain in the ass.
Actually super easy to change both of them if this one doesn't break
This one on the frame does hang low. Doubt it would last one of my Colorado trips.
I'm surprised Evan's didn't break when he changed his last. The plastic was making some weird noises.
Saw this the other day; it's a 6.7 truck with over 500k on it.
