So your transmission is the Chrysler 68RFE Orion, a beefed up version of the old 48RFE 4-speed auto used behind the 2003-2004 ?

 

the 68RFE was redesigned, its not the 48RFE.

the Aisin has a PTO that is why it was not used in 3/4 or 1 ton pickups

 

sorry if i didnt make that crystal clear in my last post.

 

All I can say is that the 6.4 blows away the '05 Duramax I had, and the '01 8.1 Gas Burner. The truck outperforms the '01 2500HD and the '05 3500 Chevy's by a large margin. My experience, my opinion. Never messed with a Dodge truck, probably won't now that I have a Ford that I like.

 

See I can supposedly do this and rid my 6.0L of all its ailments, BUT this voids the bumper-to-bumper warranty...besides, maybe I'm the only one here who thinks this but why the hell should I buy a truck for $40K+ and have to spend more money and void my warranty just to get a reliable truck?

 

If we do the DPF delete on our trucks though the warrenty is out right? I'm assuming you do the delete and must use a programmer that is also detectable.

 

Yep, and it against federal EPA laws...not sure what the fine is though...something like $10k?...not street legal at all.

 

I believe I read it's $2,500 fine for the truck owners w/o emission components (if caught w/o) and a retailer selling the DPF deletes is $25,000 if they are reported.

 

they cannot detect a dpf delete on a cummins because you can swap in the DPF right back in, you dont need a tuner.

I havent had any problems with the DPF on it right now, but I just want to unleash the truck.

 

love mine.41k and no problems yet.got 4:30 so only get 10 mpg but iv towed 25k around with no problem

 

fireman - retailers can sell DPF deletes all they want, they just have to be used for off road equipment only.

 

Bobby - Are there no sensors on the DPF? How does the truck know when the DPF needs cleaned? On the Ford, the truck will eventually do a default regen and if I remember right will basically get stuck in regen. How is the Dodge different? The computer has to do a regen at some point even without the DPF in place.

bczolone - are you referring to your 6.0? The 6.0 doesnt have a DPF and doesnt require a tuner to remove any part of the exhaust. Maybe you meant 6.4, or maybe I missed your point (good possibility, I ran out of smart pills 3 days ago)

 

As far as I know, there is not a default regen on the dodge.

there are simulators that just plug in place and away you go.

 

I'm referring to the EGR delete and EGR cooler on the 6.0L. If that were done you'd need a tuner to keep the truck out of a default mode initiated by some sensor...forget which...and to keep the CEL off.

 

i got my 6.4 last nite...but cant figure out how to upload pics??
