Go to Spartan Diesel Technologies.
Lots more power: yes
Engine failure possible: yes though unlikely if you monitor everything.
Don't expect your warranty to cover failed parts if you run a tuner.
Lay off the ??????????????????? button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive got an intake, edge programmer and and 4in pipes from the dpf back, cant find the right delete kit yet, but if i put the edge on level 4 it is fast as hell, put the foot to the floor on the regular, beat a challanger, charger, mustang, porche(the cheap one), and every truck that lines up, my edge has alerts so i set everything really low, so if it gets even 3 deg. hot it starts yellin at me

i've been wondering what would happen if you knocked the innards out of the DPF filter. like i use to do on cat's when they went bad... my last truck 01 sliverado had the cat's off for 8 years and i never had a problem and it pass emission's every year.

I hope one of the Ford techs responds to this. I thought I read in another post that this won't do anything cause you still have the sensor. Only make you buy a new DPF and they ain't cheap.

If you hammer the guts out of the DPF, it will likely go into regeneration, and stay there.
You will have at MOST 667 miles before it goes into regeneration if you have the latest calibration.
You can smash the innards out, but you'll still need a tuner.

I was thinking the exact opposite, the reason the truck goes into regen is the sesor tells it that the dpf is dirty, limited flow through filter, with no filter i might think that the free flow would trick it into thinking that the filter is clean, or mabye it would sniff all the smoke in the pipes an regen, if anyone does it let us know huh??

well now that was a wast of time on a good saturday. put the empty filter on the truck and it went into regen after ten miles and stayed there also the check engine light came on. truck ran like a bag of CRAP. disconnected the Batteries and tried again no luck. put the filter back on, hooked up the batteries and all was good.

Ive been running a spartan for a couple months now without my DPF and the truck runs great. better mileage (17hwy) and no regens. I would check with spartan if youre thinkin about removing the DPF. They have the best tuner on the market. Also the spartan is undetectable once removed so all warranty work should be covered.
