Should be about a 15 minute job if all goes well.

Don't delete for the mileage. Your only kidding yourself otherwise. It will be the same or less because you won't keep your foot out of it. There will be the exhaust smell again and the exhaust will be louder. Plan on spending a little time and money to get the tuning right. Most end up with an H&S with Gearhead tuning. The transmission shifting will be different, not bad, just different. Watch the forums, some guys are starting to smoke their trannys because of a heavy right foot.

I'm not complaining, just telling you the things that weren't told to me up front. I would do it again, no issue. Have fun with it.
Are we driving the same truck??? Most on here gained 1-2 mpg since deleting, me personally having gained 2 mpg overall. Also I haven't heard of anybody besides H & S killing a transmission and it was the stock one pushing close to 1500 hp and 2000 torque. The stock canned H & S tunes are pretty sweet, they don't really leave anything to be desired.... There is always MCC custom tuning if you want to do more and turbo swaps etc.

Thanks for all the info.

EGR removal looks to be a lot easier to remove on a 6.7 vs a 6.0.


Cons: Loosing your warranty!

So maybe after my warranty expires (assuming I get one under warranty) I can do the EGR delete.

I have a sgII from my 6.0. Are there common codes or anything I should look for. I read a few places about a low fuel pressure? etc?
