Powerstroke 6.7 egr and dpf delete 

Would you ever consider doing a video on what all you did? I would also like mine to be a little more stealthy lol

I probably should have done a video when I did it. I could do one now but all you are going to see 👀 is a STOCK Truck. You can not tell visually that anything has been done. The DPF I removed the heatsheilds. Cut in half. Cleaned it out. Measured and installed pipe and welded it back together. Reinstalled heatsheilds. Installed delete tuner. Runs like a beast and no smoke.

@@jasonschaeffer72 that's pretty awesome that you were able to do that 😁

Don’t buy generic parts. Sinister sells a good block off plate.

@@TorchedTv Word. Hind sight is 20/20

You bet. I’ll help as much as I can via web. But unless you’re near Boise or Hawaii you’re outa luck. Those are the only two states I work in.

@@TorchedTvIdaho isnt far from Arizona to make a special trip just for my truck! Hawaii .... one day! I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with everyone. Taping off with the blue masking tape makes the visual easier too.

I would straight up delete that truck.

I did just that! No more problems now😁 i got my truck back on Jan 5th. Still breaking it in! I drove round trip down to Phoenix to home! Everything improved! I got the Ez Lynk tuner. I am pleased with it. Gonna order new muffler assembly. I saw how easy it was to do myself. So I'm looking forward to that project😁

C Wilson yeeeeeeeeeeehaawww

For future folks: the trick is the sensors have to be there when you run the tuner. If the sensors are not present, then the tuner won’t delete them. So: when you kit arrives, hook up the tuner first and run the delete tune. Once that tune has ran and deleted all the sensors, you can uninstall the sensors.

@@SteeIW0LFso after it’s tuned with a minimax v2 then you could remove the sensors? Deleting one now and removed the egr and dpf before tuning an I am trying to make sure I don’t have it throw any codes once I tune it

@@SteeIW0LFThats what your supposed to do?

Your cpu, isn’t registering your tuner. 1. You need a new tuner. 2. You need a new cpu. Somewhere between the tuner and cpu, there is disruption. 3. It is possible you have low voltage from the battery. Or a bad ground connection, somewhere.

Thank you so much for the feedback ! And second do you need to unplug the emissions plug the the pcm since the dpf is deleted ?

Yea, better tuners have better results. I used a cheap tuner, the mini max ($700), and you definitely need to plug back in the sensors with the mini.

Nothing needs to be reconnective ziptire existing wires up to frame senior Good2Go ez-link is the best

@@michiganranch1757 maybe true for the ez link. But if you get a mini max Or SCT you have to reconnect. I’ve done a delete with both the mini and SCT. They both throw codes unless you reconnect.

@@TorchedTv I just did egr and dpf with mini maxxv2 and I keep getting a po471 did you get this one as well

@@koroushlevi yes. Unfortunately, if you program after the mods the mini max does not remove that code. If you program before the mods, the mini max will remove the code.

If it’s under pressure. Then yes. I didn’t exactly, but if you have a pressurized hose. It will spill over.

Possibly. Never tried. Other tuners, more pricey tuners, will delete all the codes.

There is absolutely no reason to reconnect the sensors. The tune will turn the sensors off.

@@ruggedterrain nope. Not true. Some tuners need to see the sensors. I’ve tested it a few times. If you don’t reconnect the sensors, you’re going into regen mode.

Yup, works for a while, but you’ll eventually get a reduced power warning. So just replug the sensors and stuff the wires up into the frame somewhere.

@@TorchedTvare you meaning the DPF sensors in the DPF itself have stay plugged in? I’ve always left them in the DPF when deleted and unplugged, never had issue before power wise but I do have an engine code once in awhile

As long as you use a tuner. You can just remove the whole dpf tank and not worry about rerouting anything. The egr is the only thing that needs rerouting, since you’re not touching that, you should be all good. That’s under the truck next to the fuel tank.

That’s the easiest way. But no, you can pull the motor by removing the front body components and bell housing bolts, straight up and out.

Not sure which one you’re referring to. But it’s easy to figure out. Locate the sensor, and follow it from where it plugs in to where it connects. You may be referring to the exhaust temp sensor. But just follow it back from where it’s plugged into.

2021 is almost identical. The hard thing to find are the tunes, as up to date tuners are getting harder to acquire.

I don’t think they’ve figured out how to reburn the carbon without clogging the dpf and egr. With that said it’s always a good idea to delete, I mean, you could have no issues with a non delete for up to 200,000 miles. But for the most part, a delete exponentially increase the life of you truck and helps with power outputs. You can get 650-1200 horses on a properly tuned and deleted 6.7 truck. But if all you’re doing is towing, then just minimize your idle time, and open her up more often, and you might not need to do any deletes…the faults most powerstoke have is when they sit at idle too long. But if you want the power…I’d do the deletes right away.

​@@TorchedTv Thanks man for getting back. My sole purpose for doing the delete is not performance nor power increase. I'm considering it for the longevity of my engine and better overall maintenance of the truck as it no longer needs to recirculate any exhaust gases let alone doing unnecessary regen cycles whenever it needs to, etc... Better fuel mileage and unrestricted power boost is a bonus I won't turn away either. My only concern is if I got the delete done the proper way thru a professional that really knows what they are doing, am I still taking a risk on deleting emissions as far as the operation of truck being "modified" vs "stock" or it will run a 100% like stock minus a few hundreds of pound of dead weight? There's more to it than delete and tune. If calibrations aren't properly taken into consideration the compression ratios aren't changed, the temperatures aren't dropped, and the engine timing isn't altered then I maybe better off keep my emissions. You hear and read a lot of reviews about people running into issues caused by deletes even when it was done proper as those trucks specially the newer ones are designed and engineered to run with emissions and the moment you mess with them, they will cause issues whether that is momentarily or down the road. I reached out to a few local mechanics and they all said they have seen the good, bad, and the ugly, deleted trucks may cause issues and fail at higher altitudes so I'm kinda stuck in a rut here so I'd ask you as someone who's been there and has a better sense of knowledge of this transition even tho yours is relatively an older model year. Sorry for the long write-up but I think we have all gone thru this phase of due diligence . Thanks again!

@@firratblitzcki7734 all good man. Deleted trucks run betting on the long run. Really, all you have to worry about with a delete is a emissions ticket from the black and blue. Just don’t tow in the extreme tune (high hp). Only tow in tow tuning. Towing in HP tuning will toast your trans and over heat the truck. Extreme tunes are only for racing 👍

Arod has a video of a deleted(at 100k miles) 2016 f250 6.7 with over 1 million miles on it with minimal required maintenance and used for heavy towing. That's all the proof I need... Also, some people "Tune" and "delete" but don't completely take out the egr system which can cause issues long term. My only concern is passing emissions every 2 years...

Yup. Just leave the egr on

Aaron Lee I used a vacuum. You can use a coolant hand pump if you don’t have one. They’re only $30

Egrparts.com has the stuff you need, you can get it in the kit for around $350. You'll also need a tuner, h&s mini Maxx is affordable and works great. Everything out the door is less than a thousand bucks

E-Bay. Good luck

Unless you do the delete yourself, your looking at $1000 of labor charges on top of the parts. But most offroad or custom shops will have the best kits available. Those can run upwards of $500. You can get complete knock off kits on Amazon or eBay for less then $200, which work, but needs checking every couple of years. Buying the right tuner is important, minimax has a good preloaded tune for $800, so does SCT. But look forward to spending upwards of $700 on a good tuner. Don’t buy a cheap tuner, you will regret it. Also, good tuners are getting harder to find thanks to the new emissions laws. Have fun dude!

@@TorchedTv I'm full deleted now on 2016 powerstroke I learn allot and was a pain in the ass with the egr but I manage to do the egr delete take out the def too the cold side charge pipe, cold air intake, and ezlynk tuner

Yup, or find an emissions tester that will pass you…usually different county’s with different emissions laws can pass you. So check which areas around you that have a high limit, and usually they will let you pass.

What's a emissions test?

Depends man. There’s the cheap way and the expensive way. They both work, but the expensive way usually has more stuff that comes off the truck.

Well, a tuner on its own costs about $800-$1000. Theres no way around a tuner unless you have a Dino. Other then that labor would be about $1200 to delete the egr and dpf.

There’s a couple of differences. But very similar. Same engine same parts, just a little moved around.

@@TorchedTv are you for hire lol

I sold this one. But top shape when I sold it.

You can just unplug it. Taking it off is really just to get it out of the way. But the egr removal is pretty easy if you want it gone. I highly recommend doing the block offs even if you don’t remove the egr.

@@TorchedTv What is the benefit of doing the block offs?

@@BetweentheCheeks00 block offs are only needed with an egr delete. They close the ports that allow exhaust gasses to be reburnt in the cylinders.

If you can’t do it all in one crack then the first place to start is to buy a good tuner. Cheaper tuners are getting harder to come by because of new emission standards. Make sure it’s a dpf delete tuner, you can tell it’s for a diesel dpf delete because it will cost more then $600. But SCT still sells a decent tuner for these trucks, it can cost up $800-$1000 depending on the preloaded tunes. My truck used the mini max. It cost me $700. But I’m not sure if they still sell them. Next you can straight pipe your truck and unplug the throttle sensor and egr; I’d go 4” or wider diameter on the exhaust. That way you can start getting some real power to the wheels. Lastly, you should delete the egr!

@@TorchedTv right on! Appreciate the information. Mahalo!

Works pretty good on these bolts.

Liliana Perez when you say everything, do you mean you deleted the truck? Also, how long have you ran the truck deleted with-ought a tuner? It sounds like the tuner you bought doesn’t work worth the delete on your truck.

@@TorchedTv I used a SCT X4 tuner, I removed the DPF and the EGR but drove it before to see how it sounded before using the SCT x4 tuner and now that’s happening you think may be because I drove it before tuning it?

We installed an SCT 4 on my brothers powerstroke with his delete, it works like a charm. My truck has a mini max, also good. Your trucks computer is trying to communicate with the dpf. But it obviously can’t because it’s been removed. Three different things could be the cause. 1. Your tuner doesn’t have the right tune to support a delete (most common) I suggest calling SCT and making sure they loaded the powerstroke delete tune, a tuner with a delete tune will usually cost more the $600, don’t fall for those tuners that are cheaper then that, they usually don’t have the right program for a delete. 2. One of your sensor wires arent plugged in, there are two, large, main O2 sensors, that plugged into your dpf: yes, remove them from the dpf but the wiring and the sensor in its entirety need to remain plugged into the sensor harness box. The wiring can be wrapped up and stashed anywhere under the body of the truck. 3. There is wiring damage on one of those two larger O2 sensor wires.

Liliana Perez and no, driving it a little withought the tune will not harm the truck, as long as you didn’t go over the regen limit. Which the computer usually tells you “REDUCED POWER”. But these trucks usually allow 50-100miles of driving with the warning lamp on. As long as you tuned it before the miles hit 0.

@@TorchedTv Thank you so much more likely option 1 will call SCT to make sure really thank you so much!!

What most people don’t know, I was a bout 6 beers in when I made this 😂

@@TorchedTv hardly nothing. :)

@torchedTv One question, I'm new to this, my 2011 ford f350 already has the def removed, can I remove the egr too?
