My work truck is less than 3 weeks removed from a new exhaust filter (a cool ten grand...wholesale), and the CEL was off for-exactly-one hundred miles.



Thats the kind of stuff that worries me about diesel. How expensive is the delete option?


Unobtainable, because the truck would fail inspection and have the plates pulled.

Of course these emission system were put in place to make the air we breath a little cleaner.

I take it you've never had to work behind a running 6.7 with a dpf either undergoing regen, or clogged and waiting for a regen. I've been stuck doing that many times. I've lost way more lung years from that, than from any deleted 6.7. The deleted version is much better for my lungs. Then again, most probably dont use their truck like I do. In any event, be careful jumping to conclusions.
