really really need a answer!!!!
 
Do you HAVE to have a chip to take the dpf fliter off and replace it with a flo pro?

slowmans 03-30-2014 06:42 PM

yes........

suber13 03-30-2014 06:44 PM

So I HAVE TO HAVE a chip? Like I have a bully dog but it doesn't delete the dpf crap but I just wanna take the dpf fliter off bc of other reasons

senix 03-30-2014 07:00 PM

not a chip but a programmer to re-program the pcm. All done through the OBD port.

So in others you can't take it off bone stock something will mess up? If I can take it off and nothing will mess up I will, idc about re gen it can re gen all it wants

Fast forward 3 months when you can't figure out why you get 8mpg and your oil pan has 30qts of oil in it.

suber13 03-30-2014 07:33 PM

Without a tuner it won't work, it will throw codes and eventually it will no longer run.

I have a bully dog but does not shut off the regen and everything

bubbasz1 03-30-2014 08:29 PM

No, the cheapist one I know of is this Home Page
But I don't know anything about them.

suber13 03-30-2014 08:40 PM

Dang well that answers my question the only question I have left is how would mess my truck up if I didn't have the programmer?

longview1 03-30-2014 08:44 PM

Dont do it. Get the proper tune and do it right...like everyone else! We arent keeping a secret from you,lol.

senix 03-31-2014 05:02 AM

Way out of your league here. You need to do a lot more reading and studying before you even think about tuning.

Thasilver_6.7 03-31-2014 07:17 AM

hate to say it...but as frantic as he sounds...it sounds like he's already done it!! The best thing he could've done is research the truck/deleting before purchase... soon as I thought about buying a 6.4 I joined this site.. learned quite a bit from senix,bubbasz1,slowmans...... still don't understand people buying 30-40k trucks ....knowing nothing of them!

Since no one has spelled it out for our noob (even though all correct advice has been given - research more!)... the regen function dumps fuel into the exhaust to burn off the soot in the DPF.
Listen to these guys. You gotta pay if you wanna play. If you take off the dpf, it will ruin the engine without a proper tune. It's as simple as that.
