Should I delete? Delete comparison

1) Doing a delete is illegal. Enforcement may be sparse to non-existent in most of the country, but if you're a business owner, odds of getting reported and fined became much higher.

2) Ford has a "no-touch" policy on trucks that are deleted. Dealers are not so supposed to perform any warranty work on a deleted truck. Furthermore, deleting the truck requires a programming. There's no way to remove the "bread-crumbs" left behind, even if you restore to stock, which Ford can use to deny powertrain warranty claims.

3) The stock 6.7L makes almost double to the HP and torque of a the 7.3L. When you say your son's truck reminds you of the 7.3, are you saying it feels slower? And noisier? Besides purchase repair costs, I see zero advantages of a 7.3L over a 6.7L...

Obviously he is not subject to an annual inspection. My buddy 'lost' the cat on his Ram diesel, went 4" from the turbo back. Noticeable increase in power with a louder bark.

I would not and basically, could not because of emissions testing where I live. But even if I could, I would not because a state could start testing at any time and because you could have a very difficult time selling or trading in a deleted truck as dealers could be held liable for the missing parts.

BTW, all of the reports I've heard say you get 1 to 2 mpg better after delete. The exhaust parts don't slow down the flow very much.

OH, well, only if he want to void any warranties on the truck!

It is like the 1970s all over again :(

I "think" I missed something here? I don't understand what you mean by "delete"? Are you thinking of getting rid of your 350 for something else?
