Then when you're done, you have a truck that runs good again, for another 100k miles or whatever and you still have less performance, higher egt's, worse fuel mileage and your wallet is just as light from buying new parts as the cost of deleting.
But you are saving the environment.....which is priceless!
A new DPF (Diesel Particulat Filter) is included in the $130 price of the kit linked to above. And yes the truck will run good again for another 8-10 years until the routine maintenance is due again. Without breaking any laws. If I was worried about the environment I would not be driveing an oversized truck pulling a 12,000 lb trailer around. I would be driving a Prius with a tent in the trunk. Go attack somebody else. I don't have time for know it all's that know nothing about being a law abiding citizen.
Better look again. That's not a DPF in that kit
