Delete 2015 6.7l
Hi guys new here and new to diesels. Bought my truck used 2015 6.7l w 86k on it. Ive been back to the dealership 4+ times all emissions problems. I dont tow often and its not ran often since i have a work truck. Id like to do a delete/tune but leave everything stock just to avoid inspection etc. Is there a way to do so to just get away from these stupid DEF EGR constant problems?

Simple answer. NO. Dpf has to come off, or hollow the canister out but that would be quite the task. EGR can stay on but must be unplugged at minimum. My state has a no inspection law any commerical vehicle over 10k gvw. Check your local laws

So far the dealer has fixed all the problems with the emission system. 4 visits, were they all for the same thing? It will be more involved than to just unplug the EGR. You will need to purchase a tune to shut off the EGR. If it ain't broke why throw more money at it. Dealer is fixing it for free right? if not he should be.

Welcome to FTE forum and welcome to the club of 6.7 Powerstrokes. Use the search feature here to search for the threads that are already here on your truck losing weight. If you keep the EGR cooler on, you will need a partial plate kit that replaces the OEM pipe that feeds the cooler with exhaust gases.
If you remove the cooler, you will need the full EGR d****e kit that provides the plates that block the coolant passages once the cooler is removed.
If you do the basic job, plate kit, SCT x4 tuner with 0 hp tune or a low hp tow tune, straight pipe to replace DPF with an optional muffler and use the factory tailpipe, you should be around 1000 bucks give or take.
I haven't done it but that's just from being on this site. If I'm wrong, someone who has done it will chime in.
Here's a link to check out kits:

If you don’t have inspection/emission renewals, just delete and put a big Donaldson under there with the same factory tips. 0hp or small tow tune, you will have to try really hard to see any smoke. Nothing like a tow tune on 7.3 if you mashed you could fill the intersection. I went with Donaldson and fte resonator it is basically just as quiet as stock. This works for me. Search up some threads you will be in for some reading.

Fuel economy gains are still there. Less restriction on exhaust, better flow and more efficient performance. No more exhaust fluid. No more 10mpg regens.
If it wasn't for the back forth on the warranty void debate I would have deleted it all long ago. Just waiting to hit 100k.

I sold, sort of, my '15 F250 to my Son-In-Law just before hitting 100k miles. Now he is looking at doing the full delete. That truck was my 70 mile daily driver so the miles racked up pretty quick. My F350 just doesn't fit into the parking garage at work so it sits in my drive and is just used for towing my 5er mostly. When that hits 100k I will delete it.

I got about 1mpg probably. Certainly doesn't offset the cost of the delete so it wouldn't make financial sense to delete for mpg gains.
