I read this post after I posted my previous, ok I can do that by adding in a delete pipe when the time comes. That would make be very do able and spread the cost of the project over time (easier to sell to the wife). What is a good company to go with for this application?
I have an 5" MBRP DPF back system and a 4" aFe delete pipe (both in stainless steel). The aFe is in better condition that the MBRP, but the MBRP is still in great shape.

Find a DPF back kit you like (FloPro, MBRP, Magnaflow, etc.). The delete pipe you will add in is made by many different manufacturers or can be fabbed by a good muffler shop in about 5 minutes for about 1/10 of the cost. The delete pipe is easy.

After all of the advice I have recieved from this thread and some additional research this is what I have come up with.
You will probably want the tuner before you delete since you won't notice a significant difference in the first three and the wait for 30K is the hard part!
I don't know if you are going with the reusable filter or the paper disposable filter, but either way, order a cleaning kit or replacement filter right way. It sneaks up on you and it's nice to have them when you need them.
When it comes time to delete, if it's too loud, you can order a muffler. The largest that I was able to fit on mine was 24" long overall. Otherwise you sill need to mess with relocating hangers.

I was thinking the same thing about the air filter that when I order the intake I would just order and extra filter at the same time. Instead of a delete pipe I was going to go with a muffler in place of it along with a little section of pipe.
Good idea wilwildwest I will put removal of DEF tank on the list
What about this fuel/water seperator I have read about, is it worth looking into?
Have had no problems with the factory unit, but if you are worried about poor fuel in your area it doesn't hurt. I think that's a personal thing and even though I travel a lot, I always use high frequency stations or actual truck stops that go through a lot of volume of diesel and haven't had any issues.
I also have a muffler (24" FloPro) cut into my delete pipe. Where the hangers are located you actually end up with part of the delete pipe on either end of it to make it fit properly.
Since you are in California have you thought about any banks products? All of those (except the deletes) are CARB certified.
That means you don't have to take them off during your emissions inspections.
They do well at the clean tuning of the trucks.
As far an an electric fan. You'd be hard pressed to find one that will pull enough CFM to keep the truck cool. I would never go that route with a diesel.

My time in California is number and soon I will be in a emissions free state. Thanks for the info on the fan I will not be pursuing that upgrade.
