not a chip but a programmer to re-program the pcm. All done through the OBD port.

Fast forward 3 months when you can't figure out why you get 8mpg and your oil pan has 30qts of oil in it.

Without a tuner it won't work, it will throw codes and eventually it will no longer run.

Way out of your league here. You need to do a lot more reading and studying before you even think about tuning.

hate to say it...but as frantic as he sounds...it sounds like he's already done it!! The best thing he could've done is research the truck/deleting before purchase... soon as I thought about buying a 6.4 I joined this site.. learned quite a bit from senix,bubbasz1,slowmans...... still don't understand people buying 30-40k trucks ....knowing nothing of them!

Since no one has spelled it out for our noob (even though all correct advice has been given - research more!)... the regen function dumps fuel into the exhaust to burn off the soot in the DPF.
Listen to these guys. You gotta pay if you wanna play. If you take off the dpf, it will ruin the engine without a proper tune. It's as simple as that.
