I know that, I wasn't sure what it was....That's OK, it's not important.

Ok Matt, if this is true, (and I have no reason to doubt you), I guess we should all do this. I wasn't trying to be argumentaive but this is the first I've heard that "proper tuning" of the 6.4 is undetectable. I did read a while ago you were working on something but apparently missed the "we got it post"! Or mis-understood what was going on. Sorry! Most of the comments seem lead us in the other direction. I also would like better milage but don't want to loose my warranty.

Just curious, what do you mean by proper tuning? Are you talking about your custom tunes or all quality programmers such as SCT, superchips, ECT?

Good question! I bought my SCT from Matt, but since SCT has not allowed them to do custom tunes yet, I only have the stock tunes. So yes I would like to know the answer to this.

Silver surfer my tuner was 375, dpf delete tune 200 and the pipe was about 250 fora total of 825. I heard that kemperformance wasn't doing any more until their tuner is out.

'08 6.4s have a DPF (diesel particulate filter). It removes most of the carbon, etc. from the exhaust. Periodically it needs to be cleaned, purged (regenerated) to remove this soot buildup. This is accomplished by injecting diesel fuel and superheating the DPF, much like a self cleaning oven, to burn the soot up.

I am pretty sure that any modifcation of a emission control I.E. Cat, is about a $10,000 fine her in Kalifornia if caught. My dealer told me I can do a cat back but do not touch the cat or the downpipe as it would void warranty and could cause a fine from the EPA.

You are absolutly right. I'm sure it's like that throughout the country. I have been reading alot of these posts about the DPF delete and tuners and was wondering why knowone seemed to concerned with the illegality of it. I am suprised that knowone has mentioned the fines until now. But at the same time when will the EPA ever be under our trucks.

California is talking about starting emissions (particulate) testing on new diesels, mine would be exempt as of the talk right now just the one with the dpf's and on. They are also pushing to out cat on piston aircraft, I would like to see a technician try to do a smog test with a spinning prop right near the exhaust. OUCH.

There is no more of a fine or penalty then removing the catalytic converters off from a gasoline engine.

Want a reason to DPF delete? how about getting 7mpg during regen every 500 or so miles for a half hour and watching gobs of white smoke blowing out your tailpipe for a mile or two when the DPF is cold.

Always nice looking at guys in Tudra looking at my 50k truck and wondering why it's *broken*

Love it - just dont understand the environmental saving from spewing raw fuel out my tailpipe

OK done venting LOL - I love the truck however, my favorite
