This is a problem I have as well. It's $5000 to replace my worn out DPF system which WILL fail again. Or, I can delete the truck and quadruple my reliability for $2000 and never have to worry about the DPF system again. Tough choice.
Yea you better sleep on it! 😂. Thanks for the comment and for watching brother. I a really appreciate it. If you haven’t, please like and sub. Trying to grow the channel! 🇺🇸

@@COLTSWAY Oh yeah, I definitely subscribed and hit the notifications bell. Looking forward to some new content from someone with a grounded, all American perspective. Keep on brother.
Cannot speak highly enough about this video. Just goes to show you Good People are still out there sharing knowledge and not trying to screw over the next man. #Respect #keepthevideoscoming
So, I just bought a 2017 F250 with 140k miles on it. It's got lots of power and is loaded with every option. I was talking to a friend about deleting it because he did his. Said it took half a day doing it in the driveway. It looks to me like I can do it myself with no help in about 2-3 hours. I about absolutely LOVE this video!!! It was exactly what I needed to see. Thank you very much Sir! I'm a new subscriber!!!!
Did you get your truck done? I just bought the same year and wanting to do the same but can't get any info on one that's been done for a while. Any info is much appreciated!
@hellbilly1556 I did a delete the simple way. There's a RU-vid channel named Colt's Way. I used his method of unplugging three plugs connections under the hood and removing the massive section of the exhaust, the center, missile looking thing that I guess is where the DEF is injected. Anyway, I removed that and straight piped in 4" pipe. Put a tune on the engine for 120 HP and left the transmission alone. Been driving it for over a year like this, and I like the results. I drive a lot, so I kept the original factory tires on it.
I just did this project. The way you described the process was spot on. The straps under the body worked great for a single person removing the muffler. It only took an hour. No matter how many plugs you disconnect, you will miss one, I promise. I had issues getting the downpipe unbolted. Stupid me was stripping our the 15mm that is part of the flange. PSA, don't ask a muffler shop.
I live in a state where I have admissions once a year have you heard any issues with putting it back to stock? Someone told me that if you’re not running that dpf system it gets clogged up
@@roberttowne2871 keep your old muffler and put it back on then tell your EZlync to run OEM tune. It sucks, but it only take around an hour then an hour to take it back off again.
Thanks for this....I learned a few things in the video that would be useful on my 2017 F350. One thing that concerned me: Unless you pull and completely clean out the DEF tank you'll end up with the problems that come with seriously stale DEF when you try to reinstall everything come trade-in time.
Yes you are prob right. I did wait till I had like 3 miles till reduced power. But if anything I could always pull the tank and clean it when I’m ready, that may work as well. 🤷🏻♂️. Thank you for watching and for the comment. If you haven’t, please like and sub. Trying to grow the channel! 🇺🇸
This is my first post to RU-vid, so you made an impression. You said Don't ruin your truck with too much torque Don't draw attention to yourself Don't need the EGR delete kit. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Hope to see you in Wyo. I hunt 95
Tim & Cindy Sheehan welcome time the club! 😂. Yes you are right, I just drive normal and don’t be a jackass and low and behold I’m left alone! I have a great uncle up in Sheridan Wyoming, that’s where we go. I appreciate the comment and thank you for watching! If you haven’t, please like and subscribe, I’m trying to grow this channel! 🇺🇸
I just wanted to say thank you for the video. Best one I've seen, it gave me the confidence to tackle this on my 17 f250 and I couldn't be happier with the results. I went with the ezlynk and the sotf switch but everything else was just like you showed. Thanks!
Michael good deal man! Glad I could actually help some people. It was hard for me to put all the little bits of info together out there so when I did it I wanted to give back and help others. I appreciate the comment and for watching. 🇺🇸
Great content. Deletes and tuners are simple to use but mechanics make it seem like it rocket science. I remember 13 yrs ago deleting my dodge Cummins and tuning it with an H&s kit. If they were simple then I’m sure it’s easy enough still.
Love the way you can return it to stock somewhat easily. These trucks aren't cheap so it's nice to know you can benefit from a delete, but also continue to revert in case you need to get warranty work done. When you were driving you talked about the difference in the speedo because of the bigger tire. I thought tuners could recalibrate that for you, no?
You are a wise man for not removing the EGR system. I did It on a 2008 6.4 about 7 or 8 years ago and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, mechanically. And, once you start you have to finish before you can go anywhere.
Hey brother stumbled across your channel I don’t drive a Ford or anything I drive a Chevy but I subscribe to your channel because you’re American and I can tell you love America.
Hell yea I do brother! I really appreciate that, means a lot! There isn’t a better country to be in! I drove a Chevy for years, loved it. I love all the big 3 trucks, just in a Ford this time! 🇺🇸
I used this video to delete my 2018 F250 power stroke. I used an SCT X4 tuner. It has the tow, daily, race and hot tune. I like these for my fords (F150's and F250's) because you have to plug it in to your OBD and change the tune that way. Takes about 10 minutes. It changes all your points and pressures for the specific HP you want. I never trusted the "on the fly" switches. I feel those you just turn up the HP and go. Transmission stays the same. That's why you blow your transmission. Diesel mechanic told me that over 15 years ago and I never had any issues. Im here watching this video to put my truck stock. Thanks for the video
Nice vid man. Got about 6k on my 2019. Gonna do this around 20k once I’m sure there’s no dealer fixes needed anymore. Thanks for the tips. Was always gonna have it done but I think I’ll do it myself now. 👌🏻
I just ordered my 50hp proven tune for my 2020 delete. I wasn't sure if 50hp would make me smile but I'm pretty sure I'll love it now. Thanks for the video man. Keep up the great work!
I'm in the same position. I noticed proven doesn't really say anything about the tunes being deleted. It's it just "assumed" they are the tuner I'm leaning towards. How happy have you been with proven? Thx
I love that you have to do something “illegal” to make your truck reliable and get good gas mileage. The EPA is a scam. These diesel trucks have so much potential. But the tree huggers wanna save a couple sea turtles or wtfe. It’s bullshit.
You ain’t lying my man. It’s getting pretty crazy. I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching. If you haven’t, please like and sub. Trying to grow the channel! 🇺🇸
Just like all the other government overreach bullshit, it's all for money, They make money regardless, A shop deletes a truck? Sued, everyone keeps their trucks stock? They make money on the taxes for the now more expensive trucks, they make money on taxes from the very common repairs due to unreliable egr systems, they make money on tax from def, they make money on emissions testing and charging people for that. Delete it yourself? Good on you, One of the few willing or capable to do so if you can even get the shit to do it which is becoming a fortune as well because EPA is suing people that sell the shit too but don't live in cali or another commie state or you won't be keeping it long. PLUS tickets for even more government money if you manage to delete it but get caught.
@@towtruckaj yep, all it take is someone at the governmental level to do research and see that color does not equal more pollution. A diesel engine burns much cleaner then gas engines despite blacks soot that exits the exhaust
I don’t even own a diesel but i was very entertained by your presentation and pure honesty. You got your self a subscriber and a like. keep rollin buddy 🇺🇸
New subscriber right here! Thank you for the great content and for your direct approach. Moreover, thank you for your service. You will be growing this channel in no time, I am sure of it!
Just a heads up. Anyone who orders the kit with the muffler through the link; it only comes with one clamp. Nothing included for the muffler. So you will need to either order 2 more clamps or weld it solid. Also,be ready to cut the rear section of pipe to fit the muffler.
Thanks Colt! Just installed mine today your way. Truck is insane 2017 f250. 40 horsepower is more than enough. Tires spinnin. Took about 9 coors lattes.
Hell yea! Glad you got it figured out bro! But stick to this beer! www.buymealatte.com 😂 just kidding. But I had to throw a plug in there for me! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Thank you for your video. Just bought a 6.7 diesel…git r dun…good ol boy here from the country in western Wisconsin. Spent almost 2 years in Louisiana rebuilding the telecommunications system there after Katrina. Excellent people down there.
From one RU-vidr to another kick ass job man I've been on the fence on doing this and I went ahead and ordered my full kit and a S&B air intake kit with a battery relocation. Thanks again!!
You're a very honest person you remind me when I was younger I do live in Florida I don't know where you live at but I really like the videos you're putting out I've already bought a few products that you have used on your vehicle take care my friend I'll keep on watching your videos
Love the straight talk and honestly! Much appreciated! May I ask more about the gauge and tune for delete? nGauge, but who did the tunes? Would sure help me as I'm going forward with this as I'm most interested in the longevity. Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks brother I appreciate it. The tunes I am running are chaos tunes. But I’ll prob be switching to the ezlynk and proven tunes. Just cause I cant really get any support with the nguage if anything were to ever happen. You can google proven tunes and their page comes up. That’s what I would get going forward.
Good stuff, I just got my first diesel truck in Oklahoma and had my dad drive it up to Alaska for me. I had to stay here and work. It's a 2017 f350 and I want to delete it also, it's going to be a work truck and plow truck so I want it to be simple and reliable. Thank you.

Great videos....this what we need in America, people willing to stand up and do shit their way. The people in our government have gone way to far. Keep up all the hard work that you put in to creating your videos. Well Done Sir
Thank you so much for this video! Just today my 17 F350 started surging bad at 2000RPM. It’s been deleted for over a year now. Totally fixed the surging issue!! Thanks again!
What was the problem man? Had to unplug another sensor or something?! Shit thanks for watching man. And if you haven’t, please like and subscribe. Trying to grow the channel!! 🇺🇸
The shop didn’t disconnect the sensors. I guess it got fed up and just so happen to start buckin! I subscribed my man! Keep up the good work! Sick truck by the way!
Hey brother...great video. I have a 2017 myself and been wanting to delete it...without paying people crazy $$$. You are a man after my own heart sir, thanks for the great info.
Love the shirt. Keep it real, that’s what we need more of in this world. I will be getting my delete done hopefully soon on the 6.7. I blew a 6.0 and a 6.4, one under warranty and the other without. I learned the hard way and admit I was intimidated about doing this. Your videos inspire man, keep ‘em coming. Trump 2024, “come on man LGB”!!!
@@anthonywilliamson2080 ya know, why don’t you tell that to India, China and Russia. They pollute way more then the old red white and blue. They also don’t give a crap what you think. I’ve been around the world, I suggest you travel more and see what it’s like before you talk smack. You got it good here, if you’re from here. I’m tired of week minded people with little to no life experience telling people like me how to live my life… Oh yeah, your welcome for the right to speak your mind, “Free Speech” that is. America will be great again, you’ll see. You can’t just stop oil production and think no more problems. Things take time and you should have been working on that problem years ago if you really cared. We stop now and you’ll be speaking a different language and living under a different set of rules and flag. You’re also free to leave this country ya know…. Stupid comments win you a lesson about life. Take it and learn from it bud…. Also, why don’t you take some history classes and thank your grandparents for the hard work they put into making this country great. It’s people like you who are ruining it….
Thank you, this is exactly what I needed. I’m getting a reduced power when pushing my rig up a hill. I for sure can make this delete work! I also don’t need black smoke etc just need a reliable truck… maybe a California Prius will enjoy some of that coal every once in a while but not the purpose.
Just found your videos while researching FORSCAN and was immediately impressed by your personality, humor, and no-nonsense delivery. Love the videos so far! New subscriber!
I like your channel. You the real deal. Was thinking of deleting my 2020 F-250 exactly like you did. Waiting to find some tune that ready for the 2020. You mentioned some of your friends have also deleted this way. Anyone with a 2020 ? Great video and the shirt rocks 👍🏼
Thanks a lot brother, I appreciate it! I only know 1 person that has done a few 2020 trucks. This is his website. Outdoortrucks.com. Hit him up and he will set you straight. 🇺🇸
I just bought a 2018 F250 on Friday. I’ve been going down rabbit holes trying to decide/figure out how to delete my truck. AWESOME video! Thanks for the info!! I didn’t see you take a latte out of the eagle though hahaha.
Do the dummy plug kit plugs have sealed back sides as there is no wiring going in! Otherwise, you might want to seal the back ends of those open plugs with silicon sealant so it is completely water tight!
Good video, where you at in Louisiana? Just keep in mind that most dealers will take deleted trucks in, and if they really want to know - you can’t ever go back to stock on the truck. The deletes will always show up on ECU.
North Louisiana. Yea it really depends on dealer. I’ve already had warranty work done on mine since the delete. They covered it. Had a upper oil pan leak, they fixed it and the truck was deleted. But I would for sure talk to the dealer first to find out. Thanks for watching. If you haven’t, please like and sub. Trying to grow the channel! 🇺🇸
Excellent video, making it clear and straight forward... I'm a bit hesitant to change things up right now tho. Thinking I should wait until the factory warranty is done before I do this on my F350, 2020. Only have 8k on this truck right now. What is your thoughts? Also I have one comment that you briefly talked about... What are the potential problems I could have and need to avoid, by changing up the original engineered truck settings? Best wishes on growing your channel!
Thanks for the feedback brother! A lot of people wait I till warranty is up. And on the 2020 I prob would as well. Being that is all new transmission and the motor is a little different as well. I’d deff make sure everything is solid before I did anything. As far as the problems, when you delete the truck you get rid of all the “problems”. 95 % of all warranty work is emissions related. It’s not if it fails. It’s when it fails because it’s going to eventually. Thanks for watching and for the comment. If you haven’t, please like and sub. Trying my best to grow the channel. 🇺🇸
Thanks for the video man. Just got me a 19' power stroke. I was like WTF is DEF!? I'm learning a lot. This video helped me a lot. I subscribed....keep em coming
Mine has the def delete, and pipe, snd programmed but dont know which one bc it was bought used! Can I still do the egr delete if I dont know what programmer it has nor a screen? Also thanks for the info..
Solid video man, really enjoyed it! Great stuff and the message in the middle was awesome. Totally can relate! Man.....the tone of the exhaust is perfect. No rasp...just solid Powerstroke. I'm diggin' it bigtime. Keep it up!
Does the programmer delete the def gauge so it doesn't read empty and go into limp mode? Thanks. Love the video glad I watched before reaching out to a diesel garage
I am so happy with this video, I am going to completely copy your setup, only difference will be I have a 5 in over axle pipe so may change sound a bit and it's an 8ft box...if you got stickers or anything send em my way best help since sliced bread with researching delete kits thanks a bunch man
My man!!! Thanks for watching brother! Check out my latest vid! Just installed the 5 inch! And stays tuned, I’m building a website for people that want to help support or just anything! You need parts, shoot me a email…..🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Thank you for the caring post earlier my man. Loving the content. Keep at it the viewers will come. And bro at the end some people will ask questions and never be happy with any answer. Loving that shirt Baby. 👍

Great info Colt, Sent you an email. Can you send a link for the exhaust and tuner? You should get an affiliate link from the exhaust or tuner company! 😁 Good to see you the channel is building. Keep up the good work.
Did the same thing. Factory tip too lol. Ez lynk with a switch on the fly. Kept the resonator. Did the egr block offs. Race pipe. Gonna add a cold air intake soon.
Nice! I’m on the verge of ordering exlynk. The nguage isn’t made anymore really and I have no support. So just upgrading to ezlynk. Thanks for watching brother. If you haven’t, please like and sub. Trying to grow the channel. 🇺🇸
Dude! Really appreciate your time on this video! New subscriber, new to diesel engines. I also know I'm late to the party but i came across your video because I'm wanting to do this for myself, but I'm curious after all this time if you still have the truck, have any problems come up? Thanks brother!
Colt- great stuff man I’m doing mine this weekend F’ IT looks really easy. I’m gonna order the EZ link from PPEI I hear they have some awesome tunes.. Thanks for sharing this video.
My man! I appreciate you watching and for the comment. If you haven’t, please like and sub. Trying to grow the channel! 🇺🇸 I’ve heard some bad stories of PPEI and these trucks with the transmission....hear ppei is legit for duramax though. But who knows.
Hey colt, just wanted to say that your videos are really helpful. And it’s nice hearing a southern accent from back home. Just got a 2020 250 and I’m looking to build it very similar to yours, minus the tuning and weight reduction 👌🏼. I gotta have that warranty. Thanks!
Thanks my man! I really appreciate the feedback! If you haven’t please like and subscribe, I’m trying to grow the channel! And the 2020 is a beast! Yes warranty’s are nice....

I subscribed bro. Thank you man I want to delete mine and I'm a GOOD OLE BOY from South Carolina and I want to delete but dont want to spend 35 hundos doing it..Thanks buddy will be in touch..
Hell yea man, let me know how it goes. I just bought a ezlynk and am changing to proven tunes. I had the nguage and chaos tunes, but gonna go ezlynk and see what it’s all about! But the process is the same as nguage so it’s all good! 🇺🇸
@@COLTSWAY Alright I'll stay up with the videos and I've already looked into the ezlink. My only problem is that when I bought my truck it come with a Lifetime Powertrain warranty so I have to do something that leaves no traces for warranty purposes. I really dont want to void the warranty on a 95,000 dollar truck. I get 19 and better mpg on highway when I go to Kentucky on weekends but all week I pull a rig around here in S.C. I own a landscaping company and my truck started dropping mpg around here pulling my rig so was looking into this because the regen knocks it down to 12 to 13 here lately. It use to get 15 to 16 around here with my rig. Thanks buddy for the reply and your video made since and was gone over good so a unmechanical inclined person could do it I think. I am mechanically inclined so I got it.
Man if you plan on keeping that lifetime power train I wouldn’t delete it. Unless you talk to your dealer and they will work with you. But I mean it would be hard as hell to give that lifetime warranty up. That’s a damn good thing! 🇺🇸
Just google dpf dummy plug kit. 2017 f250. They will pop up. There’s a bunch of different people selling. Thanks for watching my man. Please like and sub! 🇺🇸 trying to grow the channel.
Getting ready to do my sons xlt 6.7. Glad I ran into your vid. Was questioning the egr and were not doing it either. And like you said...going back to stock if needed is a pc o cake. Awesome vid!
Thanks brother. I haven’t done a 2020 and I know they are a little different. May look around on RU-vid for a 2020 video. But should he close to the same I would think. Hit up outdoortrucks.com and tell him colt sent you. He has done a few 2020. If you haven’t, please like and sub. Trying to grow the channel! 🇺🇸
@@COLTSWAY already subscribed and watched most of your videos on the ford. Lots of great info! I am exact same way man. If I can install something myself and save a few dollars I do it. More saved pays for another add on. Lol.
As always the best and most informative videos. Fixing to put my 2019 on this weight loss program, I’m sure it’s been asked in the comments, but I don’t have the time and patience to read over 1.7k comments so where can I det the dummy plugs for the EGR unplugging.
