delete kit will remove the DPF, replaced by the pipe in its place. I think the kit also comes with a space for the DPF sensors to go back into.
You would also need a programmer to get rid of the regens.

programmer will do the same. Basically Ford's position is any modifications will void the warranty. So I would talk with your dealer before I did anything.

You gotta trust your shop if you want to dabble in the gray area. However if there is a major component failure, the dealership will try their best to pin it on an aftermarket part, and they will win.

Another thing they will win at now, since the latest ECM flash, is the # of incomplete regen cycles. The message center now warns you not to shut off the vehicle in the middle of a regen cycle. I've witnessed people shut thier trucks down without the cycle being complete. The ECM now has a incomplete regen cycle counter from what I hear, ensuring ford being not at fault for a few failed DPFs in the future. I forsee lots of unwarrated DPFs being replaced due to negligence on behalf of some owners. I'm not pointing any fingers but, farmers are the worst. They think it's thier old 7.3L truck and ignore just about every warning the truck gives.

In this day and age, it is really dumb of Ford to rely on a PERSON to do something like that. It would be soooo easy to let the computer take over and keep the engine running until the cycle is complete....this would be a great arguement in court against Ford for denying a claim in this type of case.

The argument would be Ford saying that the operator did not operate the vehicle properly, therefore causing the damage. Ford wins and you buy a DPF.
This is the whole reason I avoid Ford diesels like the plague. When My V10 grenades, if it ever does, the Cummins 5.9 is going in.
