I'll agree with pressure welder on deletes being a financially sound decision in extreme cold ops.
First, you are your own warranty station anyway when your up in the oil sands, north slope, etc. Cost more to haul the truck somewhere and warranty a repair just to have it happen again next week then to fix it yourself.
I can attest that in the winter up north, with a fleet of 40-50 new diesel pickups all 3 brands, I had at least one or 2 a day with emissions related problems. After running thru the whole fleet the first one would cr ap out again!
I wish they were deleted but instead it created 3 full time jobs, day, night and relief shift just fixing epa mandated stuff.

This post sounds like many a chat my father inlaw and I have had during drinks!! Iam being kind of a guinea pig for the family at the moment, unfortunately our 1 tons require annual safety and now its being enforced that you MUST have emissions equip intact to pass the safety... no safety... no insurance. So I wasn't about to throw all my equipment back in and drive an emissions equipped 2015 GMC with no warrenty

This was part of my reason for switching to a ram product as they have a somewhat different emissions system than GM's so I am testing there product out to see how it holds up. (tough not driving a deleted truck) BUT so far I am impressed. I hate to say it because I am a GM man through and through but we weren't horribly impressed with GM's emissions system reliability. And reliability is worth its weight in gold in my opinion.
