tax return upgrades
Hey guys, Been a member for a long time in the 7.3 IDI group, moved up to a modern diesel last year after having a 6.2 gas CCLB. Love the 6.7 and want a little more rumble to remind me I've got that diesel. My old 1989 IDI has no DPF, no regens and no EGR, and I think that Ford should have kept them that way but here we are in 2023...lets say I want my 6.7 similar to my 7.3. new parts <---this is what I'm thinking of getting since this 6.7 is a offroad farm truck only, in mexico. Any opinions or suggestions on these parts or another option? I actually like the twin tip exhaust and want to keep it stock looking. I'll retain all parts for when I sell the truck off in 6 years.

Similar item listing, but yes 2018 is what i need. They sound very good, just need some first hand experience on that brand. I don't plan to run on high HP tunes, its got enough power as is.

I bet you get the parts and the tuner but no delete tune to make the delete work and certainly no customer support if something happens. Tunes have moved out of the country or underground. Good luck to you, you will need it, deleting a modern diesel is going extinct like the dodo bird.
The EPA doesn't care if you are using it as a farm truck, off-road vehicle, race car, on or off road. They consider any engine that is modified from it's original factory condition to be illegal and will hunt down the shops and tuners that modify them. Actually the EPA wants to delete your diesel engine entirely and install a battery and an electric motor.

My biggest concern about this would be the tuning for two reasons. First, the original H&S Mini Maxx only supported 11-14 Powerstroke. According to the forums, this most likely is a hacked Bully Dog device or some other knockoff device. Not exactly the most confidence inspiring. Second, H&S got hit by the EPA should there's no support for the Mini Maxx.
If you're selling the truck 6 years later, a safer and cheaper option would be to go with a SCT device with a single tune from a "Proven" tuner. One of the diesel shops I purchased from before has a SCT tuner with a single file and a deleto pipe (which allows you to run the factory twin tip) for $849. Add on a Flo Pro EGR kit for $168 and you're good to go.

If you're getting a refund, you need to reevaluate your deductions and witholdings. You've given the government a free loan of your own money. You'd be better served by paying less in withholdings, and then paying the government whatever your tax burden is when its due, instead of letting them keep your money interest free. That money could have been in your pocket (or in an investment earning interest) over the course of the year.

What he ^^ said. I thought this year I could finally see a small refund or a very tiny payment. Nope. My daughter turned 17 last year. Boom goes 2K write off. The little B** owes me $1500. 
JK but I do need to change my W4 now. All this time I thought cut off was 18, now it's 17.
