More noob questions about the dpf delete

Hey everyone! I've been riding around in my f350 6.4 powerstroke for a little over two weeks now and I was pretty satisfied with it. Previous owner bought the truck with 84k on it from a dealership a few years ago and just passed it to me with 174k on it. He ran an insite racing cts chip in it and I am also running the same one. He told me it had a dpf delete and has ran this tuner with a tune set to run as tho the dpf has been deleted. I am concerned that the dpf has been present this entire time though. It has all the factory piping it seems. Is it possible that it is hollowed out and still has the factory piping without the dpf in it? If I let it go into regen mode, and it does not get stuck in regen mode, and blows a bunch of white smoke temporarily, does this mean it DOES have the dpf? How screwed am I if he never ran the regen cycle an has been running a dpf delete tune this entire time? Thanks for your time.

Here are pictures of my exhaust. After more google image searching it seems I might actually have a delete and I'm confusing it with what I'm assuming is the cat? I'm very new to diesel thanks for your time

You have the straight pipe already. So you need a tuner that can monitor and re-program.


I moved this to the 6.4 sections..

How are you letting it go into regen mode? If your running a dpf delete tune then it will not be able to regenerate. Also are you seeing white smoke when driving it in damp rainy weather?

Your dpf has been removed so you're truck is already running dpf off tuning otherwise it would be in constant regen. Your DOC is still in place (diesel oxidation catalyst), which is not a huge deal to still have that in place .
