im buying my first diesel, 08 f450 and it has EGR but missing the DPF. does anybody have one i can buy, borrow, rent so i can get emissions passed? also, thinking out loud here, if the DPF is missing, that means a custom program is running the computer, right? what would be the work around this?

Im in Littlerock, CA

Seller in UTAH. I don't think they care much. I think time to cut the cord.

 

That's probably a good idea.
