DPF delete
I recently purchased a deleted 2015 from a dealership. The exhaust was not included. I would like to return it to stock. I can get a setup here local. It is for an 2018 however. Are they interchangeable?

I'm not sure if an 18 dpf will work on 15 or not, but this sure sounds like a headache. Is the egr still intact? I'd be willing to bet the egr valve is frozen too. Def tank may need flushed out as well. Think the dealership should be responsible to sort all that out, not you. Good luck

When I have such a question, I go online and lookup those who sell the part to see what the application range is and if there might be engineering issues to overcome. I did just that and it appears the rocket (DPF/DEF system) fits 2011-2019 with only sensor locations being different, which is easy to overcome. As was referenced, you need the EGR and the factory tune to restore the system to factory spec.

Egr is on the truck it was never removed. I do have the tuner with factory tune. I did search online but didn't see anything in regards to a factory ford dpf system interchanging between years.

You don't need to have it in Texas, last I checked. The benefits are many.

Diesels are exempt. I'd leave it alone if it were me.

That's good the egr is still on the truck, the last 6.7 i traded in, the valve was frozen when I put it back to stock, dealer had to replace it. Also check the wiring harness for the dpf, if the connections were left wide open they could be corroded.

I would go back to the dealer and have them make ir right. And put the factory tune back on it.

That would be awesome but I feel it has been to long at this point. It's been about 6 months now from purchase. I thought I would like having it this way but I don't care for it being loud and I have it always set to stock. Plus talking with people around its getting harder here to get an inspection. Being a used car lot I'm not sure how much of a fight it would be.
