not that it matters to me that you think this is a scam post.. it’s a post that’s proven that many people think deletes ruin a truck, when in reality it just makes the 6.7 more like the beloved 7.3.
I have a 2004 Cummins that’s never been altered with 365k mikes on it and the most I’ve ever done was a water pump, and belts/hoses when it hit 300k. Hell it still has the original ball joints and wheel bearings in it 😳
Yep made back when wheel bearings could be removed, cleaned and fresh grease added along with greaseable ball joints.
The comment made about scam posts is about possibly the EPA or another agency coming on to truck forums to infiltrate them to get info to shut down manufacturers and find where guys are buying parts and having the deletes installed. I don't believe it was a shot at anyone in particular including you.
As to deletes ruining trucks, I don't think it ruins a 6.7 but it's obviously a problem when someone buys a deleted one with no tuner or emissions equipment that was removed, or like yourself, buys one with a faulty or defective flash tuner that prevents them from gaining access to their tunes or the stock OEM tune. This could have been the reason that the previous owner sold it, possibly being negligent in not being forthcoming about the SCT tuner.
I get your feelings on this but unfortunately we live in an emissions regulated country now. I don't necessarily agree with all of it but it is what it is.
While I find that almost impossible to believe having had a couple Cummins at the shop and with yours having oversized tires to, I suppose it maybe possible,
I did notice you left out the ujoints being original.🤔
Deleting doesn't ruin the truck, the environment, yes, but the truck is fine, until it needs to be serviced for a recall or TSB, then there could be problems. I know I would rather not have the fuel eating emissions installed, but I can breath easier around the truck when it is running. With me getting up near 60 now, I appreciate the quiet of the truck too. The days of loud exhaust are long gone for me.

How many plastic jugs of DEF have you sent to the landfill?
How many more gallons of diesel will you burn to "save" the environment?
You don't have to have loud exhaust with a delete. Mine is almost as quiet after the delete as before.
How many plastic jugs of DEF have you sent to the landfill? NONE, Zero NADA. I buy at the pump
How many more gallons of diesel will you burn to "save" the environment? Not enough to offset the cost of the delete kit, the tuner or the fines if I were to get caught.

I had a Deleted Diesel, 2012 6.7. It STUNK! The exhaust, even though I couldn't see it, it irritated my lungs enough that it made me sick. Maybe you don't care about the air you breath, some day though, you will.

It takes energy to produce DEF so you are contributing to a negative effect on the environment. DEF is produced from a solution of high-purity, virgin urea. Urea is produced synthetically from ammonia and CO₂ (carbon dioxide), from which DEF is extracted directly as "hot melt" urea, which uses a different process from fertilizer grade urea. Every empty DEF plastic container in the landfill you had a part in supporting by buying DEF.

You don't know how much more fuel you burn but you do burn more doing the regeneration process and do the fact that your mpg is less than a deleted truck.
The fact is a deleted truck is more environmentally friendly.
I have a full electric car and I don't go around saying that my car is green energy because the coal plant has to produce the electricity I'm using.

You can try justifying breaking the law all you want, end result, you are still breaking the law. There is no proof deleting give better MPG other than the .2 gallons used during a regen. Without documented proof, it is all BS. My deleted F350 got 16 MPG, and I drove it like my F150 which got over 21 MPG. My F-450 gets over 14 MPG and runs on 4.30 gears vs 3.55 gears. That right there can make the 2 MPG difference between them, plus 2 additional tires on the road.
Delete at your own risk, thats all I have to say about it. Will not surprise me one bit when the EPA goes after customers of all those delete parts sold.

my grandfather bought the truck almost new (think it had 40k miles on it), ran hotshot with it for a year or so, then took a local job hauling cranes for a company. This truck has only had axle joints in the front axles replaced because one started squeaking randomly..
I’ve pretty much done 99% of the work to the truck since he bought it he passed in 2019 and inherited the truck. Oil and fuel filters changed every 5k, trans serviced every 50k (original trans made it to 325k and revers shell broke backing out of my driveway 2wks after me getting it) .. so the trans has been built and upgraded in a few areas, but other than that… the truck is just how it came from dodge, U Joints included!
A brief hijack and that will be it... It's all by design silly.
I don't give a rats behind if someone deletes or doesn't but I don't care for someone acting sanctimonious because I made my truck more environmentally friendly and less prone to failures to unneeded emissions equipment.
I don't act like an a$$ to others when I drive my electric car.

Stop acting so self righteous there pal...
You think I don't remember you coming after me or anyone else who you thought slighted you when it came to the subject of deletes? Yeah OKAY...
You rarely contribute to a topic at hand and used to just spout off about being deleted. Sounds like you should have just bought a gasser instead of your now sold deleted 6.7.
Now you're in the market for an EV? To cut your carbon foot print or to save money? Watch the short YouTube video I posted about hemp to make the packaging instead of plastic.
Also, hemp oil could potentially make biodegradable fuel for compression ignition engines as the original Rudolph Diesel engine ran on peanut oil if I'm not mistaken.
As to "fossil fuels," here's another video... We're never going to run out of it.

DEF no comment...
But guys deleting for mileage, lots of big claims like 1 to 3 mpg, but most realize very little at that... And some none.
Kind of like EV owners thinking they are saving the planet as the climate change scam is pushing this EV agenda, when the electrical generation in this country is not petroleum or carbon free...

Not your pal, chief. Again, don't care if you delete or not just don't act like you are saving the environment by not deleting.
Keep up with the info. I'm sharing with you; I have not sold my fully deleted 6.7L truck and will not sell it and I already bought a fully electric car.
I'm saving the environment twice!
I'll send you a box of donuts if that will calm you down.
