I bought a 2016 F250 King Ranch 88000 miles need to see what the cost will be

 

Varies greatly. Not 1 answer.
doing it yourself or shop
deleting egr or just disconnecting it?
how many tunes(need at least 1)
which tuner
downpipe all the way back?

could be anywhere from 1000 to 3000 roughly.

its harder to find tuners on line now because of epa. You need to call and speak to shops to buy a tuner because of epa fines. They have them but many wont sell on line anymore. Only face to face.

 

Probably going to a shop

 

I paid about 2600 and diesel performance shop did mine.

I had them block off egr tubes.
straight pipe all the way back
4 delete tunes and tuner
cold air intake pipes replaced
new air filter box

 

If it ain't broke don't fix it. By the way if you do have a problem it may be more cost effective to just fix the truck. I do hear of LOT"S of people who have done this and throw codes all over the place. Dealers are reluctant to fix trucks with a delete and a tune. Some will depending on the problem Also if you go to the dealer and there is a update they will automatically upload that for you unless you instruct them you have a tune. There is more to this than bolting on a few parts and letting her rip.

 

Don't forget to add in the cost of putting your truck back to stock after they really start cracking down on owners of trucks that are deleted. I think we may be seeing that in the not too distant future.

 

I heard California will be underwater when all the Glacier's melt as well

 

I guess it's a good thing I don't live there.

If the EPA is cracking down on diesel tuners now, what makes you think the feds or states won't go after deleted trucks and their owners in the future? I remember when there was no such thing as an emission testing of cars. Now 33 states test vehicle emissions.

 

Well....not to make this thread into a total Political shift. I wouldn't plan on anything further happening, from the current administration in office. With the current gaggle of opponents, I seriously doubt there will be any new resident in the White House until 2024. Obama didn't do much for EPA crap, neither will the next loon.

I've been driving diesels since 1996, and I've heard the rumblings of emissions testing since that year lol.

 

we can only hope

 

It's been illegal to remove catalytic convertors since 1975, but people do it all the time. (How many cars have performance exhaust since then?)

It's been illegal to modify the PCV system since 1968, but people do it all the time (How many chrome air cleaners have been installed since then?)

It's been illegal to remove the EGR since 1972, but people do it all the time (Edelbrock, Weiand, Offenhauser built there business on intake manifolds)

The Feds/State won't come after you at your house, or on the side of the highway per se... but will definitely ding you when it comes time to registering your truck and needing inspections and emissions testing

 

And your car won't pass emissions if you live in a state where you have to do emissions testing if you do any of those. When my state started emission testing cars, you should have seen everyone scrambling to put the emissions equipment back on so their cars would pass.

 

I visited a reputable long time diesel shop in the local area back in November of 2018 and they deleted the DPF, added a 4" pipe and Flo Pro muffler, installed SCT tuner, added the CP4 disaster prevention kit, and installed the inter-cooler pipe upgrade.

I bought the NO LIMIT 6.7 EGR BLOCK OFF SET #67BPK for $100 and installed myself.

The shop told me I didn't have to delete the EGR as the tuner will just tune it out. However for $100 I wanted to preserve the EGR in case I had to ever go back to stock.

$1800 parts, $600 labor

About 4 months ago I had a muffler shop install a longer muffler for $200 in addition to the Flo Pro muffler so I didn't have any drone. I would recommend not ever installing the Flo-Pro if you don't like drone. Just install the longest muffler you can buy.

Was it worth deleting? Every penny!

I also sold my DPF for $350 on Craigslist, although in hindsight I should have kept it just in case Texas goes communist, like Kalifornia.

 

I love people like you that rant deleting is the devil! If the guy wants to delete let him delete. I see nothing wrong with it. Mines all stock for now and I am on the fence. I see nothing wrong with the way the truck runs but know all that **** going back into my motor is god awful for it.

 

You might want to re-read my previous posts in this thread. I never said anything negative about deleting other than to factor in the cost should he have to put it back to stock. But you did get one thing right. It's the OP's truck and he can do with it what he wants with it.
