Exactly how does this cause problems? Just curious, but I know of at least two 6.7L trucks that are over 100,000 miles without any EGR issues.

 

I just crossed over the 100,000 mile mark this weekend and no issues with the EGR at all. Now if you want to talk about NOX sensors and check engine lights, I have had my fair share of troubles with that. All in all,I still love this truck and hope to put a few hundred thousand more miles on it yet.

 

Look on H&S' website at the EGR block off plates instructions. You just wouldn't install the plates, you would reinstall the up-pipe. It's really simple.



Not problems with the EGR valve itself, more along the lines of the intake packed with soot and chunks of hardened soot passing through the valves n such. EGR is not going to kill your engine, but definitely is not good for it either.

 

Andrew,
You appear to be the pioneer in tuning the 6.7, thank you for taking the leap and proving information to the rest of us - much appreciated. This is so cool....

I have a few question if you don't mind giving me your input. My experience prior to the 6.7 is all with the 6.0

Couple questions:
1. What are you using for guages? I want to read coolant temp (you can tell i was a 6.0 owner)
2. How high do you see the EGTs get?
3. Do you have an EGT probe pre-turbo?
4. How many tuned miles do you have on your truck?
5. Does doing these mods by default void all warranty? Lets say you had something go wrong that clearly has nothing to do with these mods, like a leaking oil plug. would that be covered?
6. Do you know if anyone has before and after dyno numbers for the S&B CAI? Reason i ask, back in 6.0 land the stock intake was the best up to 500HP. Lots of folks installed intakes when it wasn't necessary. Just curious before i dump money into a CAI.
7. How is the DEF and regens handled? I assume tuning can cancel regens? And DEF tank is no longer used or can be removed? Did doing this throw check engine lights? Assuming tuning fixes all this.
8. I notice that the H&S black max tuner offers shift on the fly tuning. Have you had any issues with this? Reason i ask, when tuning got popular for the 6.0 EDGE offered on the fly tuning, this murdered many transmissions. (i know this a different trucka and different tuner)

Thanks again for the knowledge buddy!

 

Couple answers for you : the h&s has a coolant temp gage, It also can do an electronic egr delete and will cancel the def. cycle. Egt gage hooks into where the upper egr tube was. That's all I can help with!

 

1- H&S tuner has 20 different gauges built in (only view 4 at a time though) and coolant is one of them.

2- My EGT temp is set to defuel at 1450. You can set it to anything you like. I've talked with guys that have ran them as high as 1800-1900 for 1/4 mile.

3- Pyro is pre-turbo when you use the H&S block off plates for the EGR.

4- About 3000 miles - absolutely zero problems.

5- Dealer would have to prove your tuner did the damage. Most of the time if you return the truck to stock you've got a decent shot at it being covered.

6- CAI is going to benefit more in throttle response/turbo spool up. I think it makes a difference. I ran first 500 or miles tuned with factory air box.

7- DEF and Regens will be a thing of the past. DEF tank is no longer used and can be completely removed if you wish. I left mine on the truck for now.

8- Black Maxx and Mini Maxx both offer 'shift on the fly' capabilities and it works great. Honestly if you change levels while driving it's completely seamless.


Hope this answers some of your questions. H&S is a great company that stands behind it's customers 100%. If you have any problems they will do everything possible to help you out.

 

SCT is the way to go with your ipad .Loving it .LOL anybody want to buy a minnimax

 

LMAO!

Hi
So right now. What are my options for my 2015 f350 supercab xlt,;chassis cab, 6.7, 3.73 EL? At least I have a 40 gallon fuel tank vs that 28 gallons one. That's the only plus I have. Still wishing I knew about the engine output before I got the chassis cab or no would have gotten a f350 with bed delete!! Lying fleet sales manager POS told me I have the scorpion 2 in my truck ! I'm gonna get him hehe...

I need to wake this truck up. Anyone put on the bypass coolant filter on their 2015 yet from the dieselsite? They also have a Trans filter too.

I wanted to seen if that rear lock speed mod works on the 2015 trucks also.

Thanks

 

my 08 450 had 488 gears and they detuned it 50 hp and 50 lbs ft of torque over the 450 with 430 gears
when i looked at the 2015 i didnt see anything about this but in canada there was no 450 new so i got the 350 with 430 gears

 

Go with SCT anything 2015 and newer. Actually I like SCT for older truck too. Of course custom tunes if you are deleted or have a cab and chassis and there are a few dealers out there who have DPF on tunes.

 

Don't ask why, ask why not? Lol

 

Thread revival ....
Still chasing down and reading old threads on this topic, but looking for more info on what the current story is on some "medium" tuning for (a 2013) 6.7.

Just looking for the low lying fruit... extra HP that can be had without much risk to the life/longevity of the truck (assuming its not driven like a track-day toy).
Am assuming that no serious tuning will be done on this truck at least until the warranty is done, or maybe ever. REally just looking to see if there's a tuner that will give a little extra kick but with the emissions all fully intact, but also would have the option to do more with custom tunes if down the road it gets some equipment removed...

For what its worth, in my opinion the 6.0 benefited greatly from tuning and removal of certain equipment. Goes like crazy, sounds great, slightly better mpg, and its been problem free now (knock on wood) for the last couple hundred thousand miles, since the early head replacement and the mods done at that time. Its over 300k now and running/going great.
The 6.7 is in the next class though of "impressive", and i agree she probably needs nothing, but are there tuning options that let a guy have a little more fun and a little better fuel economy while its fully equipped with all stock parts, which can then be retuned with custom tunes later in life with certain equipment removed to gain further advantages for fun& longevity?

Oh, and is H& S still in biz? Someone said they were gone.
In any case, will be looking only for a SOTF tuner that can keep the stock tune available, have decent basic tunes offered with the unit, and then have the option of adding custom tunes later if desired. MIni Maxx seems possible good choice, but not if they are banko.

 

maybe look at a tuner from banks

 

The mini is exactly what you are asking for. DPF on and off capable but makes a much better DPF off setup. Yes, H&S Performance is gone but H&S Motorsports is not. Read as much into that statement as you like. The MMs and XRTs are like the 350 SBC. Everyone knows what they are and there are a TON of companies supporting them in the aftermarket. New tunes are being written for them every day. I would stay away from Banks. They may have their place, but not on a 6.7. Many better options out there. Regardless of the tuner, expect to drop $1500-2000 just to get started with decent products.
