Mini Maxx installed last night
I bit the bullet and installed my H&S Mini Maxx last night after months of deliberation. All I have to say is WOW. Power is great, response is amazing, zero turbo lag. Just absolute amazing performance.
I installed the S&B CAI with oiled filter, stainless CAT/DPF delete pipes and of course the tuner. My lie-O-meter says I averaged 26.7 mpg on the way to work this morning, which I know is BS, but man, it sure made me feel good. Will update once I run this tank down.
Total install time was about 2 hours for the intake and pipes. plus the download time for the tune.
For anyone considering a DPF delete, I'm a supporter 100%.

That "muffler" is nothing but a can. You can look right through it. The DOC/DPF does all the "muffling". I like the sound too. Nothing like a powerful diesel engine breathing and sounding like it should.

I see in your sig thay you are running MBRP. How would you describe the sound of it vs just the DPF/DOC delete?

I can't really tell you for sure. I got the MBRP as a DPF back unit. I did the delete much later. It sounds really nice to me from the rear when I walk behind during idle. It's all "even" sounding, as opposed to being all on 1 side.

I seem to remember seeing a TSB that fixes the cruise control from turning itself off even on early 2010 builds (but applies only to manual trannies).
That makes me wonder--all of these tunes must have been based on some earlier version of the PCM code at one point. I don't think it's simply overwriting just the cal tables...or is it?

Don't have any experience w/ the Mini Maxx. Any codes? Maybe EGR disabled, maybe brake light switch. Grasping at straws though.....

It is a good motor depending on how you would use the truck. So lets start there.
What type of use and loads or towing would you expect it to do?
