2011 6.7 Purchase
Hey everyone,
Getting into the diesel world for the first time and had a few questions about aftermarket 6.7 equipment. My lack of knowledge outside of basic diesel engines will be pretty apparent. Thanks in advance for any info.
1. Other than the obvious legality issues of some states, what negative/long term effects are associated with the removal of the catalytic converter, if any?
2. How can one tell which aftermarket chip enhancement a used truck has if there is one? Meaning make/model/etc.
3. If a truck is chipped, are there usually settings that work best to keep the truck running pretty stock/not put extra strain on the motor etc? Extra power etc doesn't mean much to me if it hurts the system in the long run.
4. Can aftermarket chips be removed and the truck run back in stock configuration just like it did originally? Or is retrofitting a bad idea?
5. Are KN filters still an added benefit? I've seen some mixed opinions and am wondering what the current preference is.
All in all I am looking for a used 6.7 that will last a long time. Durability and longevity are the ultimate concerns as these expensive trucks are large investments.
Thanks for your time.
