Exhaust particulate filter modifications
I just bought a 2008 F450 Flatbed truck for my excavation company.
Can I drill/punch/destroy the innards of the particulate filter? I was thinking (probably wrong, but I don't know why) that the sensors would never sense
a differential in the pressure and maybe the truck wouldn't regenerate. Anybody know what would happen? I have great hopes of increasing fuel mileage without spending any money.

Won't work. It's smart and will notice something isn't right, then it will get pissed off and probably go constant regeneration.
If you follow the severe duty service schedule to the letter, AND avoid ALL excessive idling, the truck *should* turn out fine.
If you want to really play it safe, STILL follow the severe duty service schedule, but also tune the emissions off. Sure it will cost money, but that's how this game works.

For the 6.4 there is a backstop of approx. 630 miles that will force a regen.
It you cannot or don't want the DPF then straight pipe and tuner is the only way to go.
Just drilling will be more problematic then anything as the sensors will have false readings.

Awww… dang sensors, they probably are too sensitive! Ok thanks for the feed back. I was hoping I could fool them without a tuner….. I guess I'll just have to start saving my $$$$!
