    Question I hate being the noob w/another exhaust " ?"

    If you take the factory exhaust off the sensors just unplug,the sensors stay in the factory pipes, just be careful not to damage them. You dont need the sensors in aftermarket pipes, you are tuneing it also arn't you.If you take the DPF and Cat off and just put the sensors in the aftermarket...

    Smoke after delete?

    yes, no more regen no more of the DPf burn off, no more white smoke. Depending on the tune you can start dumping out some black smoke !!!

    2 dtc codes won't go away

    Before i would put more money in the truck, now i don't know everything or have read everything, but, it could be the tuner itself, maybe something in the software, did you buy it new from H & S ??? Did you buy it used and get somebodys problems ?? My thought is there are alot of tuned trucks...

    so according to ford it is normal for this engine to make its own oil?

    If the tuner has shut off the regen cycle then eventually you will plug things up. Not sure about your tuner but my Spartan has different tunes that will run with the regen cycle not hurting the cat/dpf. If you just run the tuner and a dpf delete pipe then same thing, eventually you will plug...

    so according to ford it is normal for this engine to make its own oil?

    Thats why i tuned my truck also, the horsepower increase is nice and the couple extra mpg are a added bonus but everything i read about the regen process scared me. Just can't see how it is good for the life of the truck.

    so according to ford it is normal for this engine to make its own oil?

    Sorry,if it is driven like that I don;t have a answer, there were times mine went into regen once a week and then it would seem that the next time would be a couple weeks or so,there were times I ran a lot of short trips, but almost everytime it is driven does seem a bit much. Good Luck....

    so according to ford it is normal for this engine to make its own oil?

    A lot depends how you drive it, if you don't drive it very far it will keep going into regen till it finally finishes,so basically everytime you drive it. A couple times when i drove for short trips the wording changed and told me to drive till finished. At that point it would take no less than...

    dpf removal & exhaust

    so according to ford it is normal for this engine to make its own oil?

    The extra oil, EPA says you are just fine, wish I could find the article again, they say the average diesel motor is good for about 125,000 miles and with all the regen crap these motors should last all the way up to 250,000 miles, see extra oil is good, you just doubled your engin life, gota...

    PCM Reflash Issues?

    Thanks for the info, bone stock the 6.4 can only run a 6 % blend so for most of my driving bio was not a option, I have a friend that has a duramax and was buying at a station that was selling a 18 % blend, he always bought his fuel there, it ended up costing him a bunch to get his truck fixed...

    Article Elephants Helping With Joplin Cleanup

    Most people have no clue where there food comes from now a days, most think it all comes from the USA, it doesn't, we are really global. I would like the cry babies that think the elephants were exploited to fend for them selves, wonder how quick the elephant would end up on the BBQ......

    PCM Reflash Issues?

    Are you hand calculating this or going of the LOM, I can make mine read 30 mpg but not getting anywhere close to it. Still a 6.4 with 4.10 getting 23 mpg even with no hills is fantastic.........And not trying to be a azz about this just impressed...........

    PCM Reflash Issues?

    Not worried about the reflash, I am just totally impressed that you can get 23 mpg with 4.10 gears, been around trucks all my life and bounced around these boards for a few years and have never seen any claims as high as yours. My suggestion, never do any mods to the truck or never get rid of...

    Front End Leveler Question

    Not sure how far you want to go with your truck but a full 2 or 2 1/2 inch lift doesn't cost that much more then just the front leveling kit, pluse you get 4 new shocks, and no, you don;t need to change anything else.Not very difficult to install either. Best info I can give you if you do decide...

    Considering trading 2010 for 2005

    Just a reply to the statement that a tuner will reduce the longivity of the motor, start searching about oil deluition in the newer trucks with regen, when the EPA says it does no harm to the motor cause a typical motor last for 125,000 mles and they expect that with the regen motors should make...

    The cops here have nothing better to do

    They can sell it cause it's not illegal everywhere,dark tinted windows are not illegal, just on the road, not off road or in show autos, different fog lights, different lifts or lowering kits, different light bulbs, side markers, different wheel and tire sizes, the list goes on........

    The cops here have nothing better to do

    I know it's just my opinion but I think you need to pick your battles, just think you are going to upset yourself more. Like I sid in a previous post and another person said the same thing, the law says if you put it on the road it is up to you to make sure that it is street legal, it's just...

    The cops here have nothing better to do

    Got in a argument with a county sheriff here in washington state about what dealers do to trucks and cars to sell them. what I was told was dealers can do anything to a car or truck they want, it's up to you to find out if it is street legal or not...... Sounds like a crock but that is the way...

    Question I hate being the noob w/another exhaust " ?"

    No better filter for a stock truck, put the 150 tune with dpf on and started to suck the filter, truck needs more air than the stock filter says it's giving the truck. Went with the AFE and exhaust form spartan, you can tell the truck breaths easier, run the 210 tune as my daily driver.Wouldn't...
