Spartanized, finally.

Finally got the chance to pay for the relicensing fee and the time to install the delete pipes tonight. I went right to the highest I have- the 250 tune. Truck sounds alot louder, basically eliminated any and all turbo lag, trans shifts are pretty firm and she goes like stink, but roads here are ice so its hard to tell what shes really got!

I only got about 5 miles on it so far, but it feels nice.

(ps- ill say it again, anyone who says they did the dpf/doc delete in 30mins if full of it, unless they have air tools, lift and spare clamps handy)

Congrats! Keep us updated. Anyone on here have any MAJOR issues with Spartan tuners? or any other tuners for that metter?

Btw, What's the "Relicensing Fee" that I've seen around here a few times?

Well I bought the tuner and delete pipes from a guy who had it about a week then didnt want it. I did not know that I would have to pay to have the tunes licensed for MY vin number, so I paid the guy for what I thought was the whole package including the 13 tunes but was sadly mistaken.
The relicense fee is 325ish I think.

How much did the DPF/DOC delete pipe weight? I'd like to know the weight difference.

Quick tip. Go after the bolts on the flange closest to the engine from the bolt side as the nuts on mine were welded to the flange. Nearly impossible to see and I wasn't expecting it.
