I'm with you. As soon as my 36000 warranty is up i'm deleting my 2018. I'm planning on keeping the truck a long time anyway. I've read a lot of threads of guys keeping their emissions parts, but even if you put the emissions back on, the dealer will know that you have tampered with the emissions. I would like to know what your mileage is after the delete.

Ford dealer here in Edmonton quoted me $10,000.00 to $15,000.00. They got everything except the DEF tank. I can't mess around so I'll get all new but that also includes all the sensors and a new wiring harness. They're still stealing Cats from gassers but they're also stealing the emissions system components here.

I bought my 2014 F250 a few months ago and it had 125,000 when I had it deleted a week after I bought it.

This would be what I would do. I think it is key.

I was looking forward to deleting my ‘15 F250 but sold it to my son-in-law with 95k miles on it. Told him the pros and cons and he’s on board.

I've never considered myself a tree-hugger but at the same time I wouldn't consider deleting mine.
Equally important is while shopping (new or used) I wouldn't ever consider one that wasn't fully compliant.

There is satisfaction in one that runs both clean and quiet. YMMV.

I deleted mine at around 25k miles. I really miss how quiet and not stinky it used to be. It was nice loading and unloading the bed without smelling any diesel.

I don't regret deleting though. I plan to keep this truck for a very long time.

I was the same way until backed into a corner. The truck spent nearly 8 weeks out of 12 in the shop with new turbos and every emission related thing under the hood being replaced and it still was going into regens every 80 miles. Was told that all they could do was done and had no where to go. Either trade it or drive it the way it was. My take is that why should I buy another one if you can't fix the one I have that is just like it! BTW, it only had 32k miles on it! Deleted it and haven't looked back.

Lol. Deleted one of my two 6.7s at 9000kms. Its a 2016, now at 110K kms. DPF off, egr blocked, ccv reroute.

Have never had a hiccup, let alone downtime due to a sensor derating me lol.

4) Flo Pro Muffler (4")

After getting the truck back I installed the No Limit Fabrication EGR block off plates (4 total)
What delete tunes did they install in the truck?
