to delete or not

Ok, so here's one for all you guys that have deleted. I am strongly considering deleting my 6.7, have any of you guys had any regrets? My biggest concern is reliability with deleting. Can you guys tell me how long you have been running tuned (how many miles) and has there been any issues that I should be concerned about, not warranty or things like that. I deleted my 6.4 and had it for 5 years with no regrets or problems at all. Any recommendations for brands would be appreciated as well
Thank you

Reliability is one of the best reasons to delete in my opinion.
I ran mine for 70k I think deleted before I traded it. I had no second thoughts.

One drawback to deleting is your face muscles get sore from smiling and you go through tires like crazy. Fuel mileage suffers too. Of course this is all from not being to control your right foot, but you just want to stomp on it all the time. I BEAT my truck and had no problems.

My exhaust fell off at about 18k. I'm at 48k now with no issues related to the missing components.

I used a H&S Minimaxx with H&S tunes. I'm not running tuned or deleted in my Ram. Just got the lift done and will be doing wheels and tires next.

What year of 6.7 matters on the tuner. Some are only available for certain years

EZ Link is awesome but kind of expensive. Unit with delete tunes are about $1400.00 or a little less depending on who's tunes you buy. I've used H&S and SCT with good results. If you want gauges and shift on the fly H&S is hard to beat. If you are a tune it and forget it type person then the SCT is for you. Support for both is still readily available so I wouldn't worry about tech support after the sell. Call Mike and he can help you with your decision.

I have the H&S and plan to delete mine later this summer. Exhaust delete I'll probably just use the FloPro pipe. EGR delete I haven't figured out the best route yet.

I hear lots of good things about H&S my local diesel guy said he can't get them anymore, but I think I am going to look around and see what I can find
