So I’m getting ready to install my off-road pipe today for use on the fam only of course. And I don’t know what to do with the sensors in the dpf? Do I just zip tie them up? Disconnect and then and just tie up the wires? I am saving my dpf Incase we ever re purpose the truck if that changes anything. Also should I drain my def tank?

Best thing to do is use dummy plugs from shibby engineering $99 for the basic kit. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post18462157

Others pack the connectors with dielectric grease and use the fingertips from rubber gloves with a zip tie to cover the ends.

I second using the Shibby Plug Kit. It will save you from having codes, blown fuses and issues others have experienced leaving the plugs get moisture into them.
