Tuning on 21' PSD

Hey guys,

Looking to delete and tune my 21' 6.7 with 30k miles. Never owned a ford in my life.....so any advice anyone can give on what to do while im doing this? Also, how do these trucks hold up when tuned / deleted especially the 10 speed?
Deleted and tuned a few brand new cummins and many duramax trucks. Always had good luck and never any major issues. Hoping this truck will be the same.

Good luck with this. EPA put most delete tuners out of business.

I thought the 20+ were encrypted and not tunable?

..and I thought it was only the 2022's that were on lock down.

To the OP, I don't see much tune and delete talk in this section, I wonder if you might have better luck in the 6.7l section.

I believe it is just 22+ now. No issues bench flashing my 21.

I'd post your tuning question in the 6.7L section. You'll get some responses and some help from the guys that are tuning these trucks there.

My truck has been deleted & tubed for 30,000+ miles. No issues knock on wood. What specific questions do you have? I have no experience with the 10 speed tranny.

My main concerns were with the 10-speed trans. Which after talking to NextGen drivetrains and a few transmission shops they recommended...i will NOT be deleting this one lol. Not until i have issues out of warranty and have $15k ready for a built trans lol.
I didnt realize these were such junk.
