where there is demand and smart people, there will be deletes and tunes. someone will manufacture them and some will buy them and a lot of dealers, from what I've read on other forums, seem not to really mind, (going by what I read, not necessarily what I "believe").....I know EPA is cracking down and levying fines on those that make some of these tuners, but ...they'll be sold, installed and used just as in the past..
AZ T&T wrote:the issue in cold weather is the ECM increases fuel to bring the engine up in temp like the gas motors vehicles do, this increases the particulate matter, add in low driver miles above regren speed and the DPF loads up above cleaning threshold and then has to be replaced which is BIG money, or you just tune the ECM and remove the entire exhaust and replace with aftermarket and enjoy better MPG`s and new found power
T I have talked to some people from Canada and they believed a lot of the emission problems were do to extreme cold, if so I'm glad I live in AZ!!

The after market tuner and delete companies have to make a living too:)
Not according to the feds from the EPA, they are going after them with pretty hefty fines. My stepson is in the wholesale exhaust business and they no longer will touch a delete pipe with a ten foot pole! The guy that makes the Smarty tuner for the Dodge/RAM lives in Italy for a reason!

My brother inlaw has a 2006 LBZ and my LML will out tow it all day long.(it really irritates the heck out of him!)

AZ T&T, is the 2011 a DEF engine. That would explain fairly good mileage.
And the SWB GM were 26 gal tanks, which really sucks. Try that with the 8.1L gasser, NOT! It took GM many years to get beyond that tank.
Chris
Yes it's a DEF engine and the milage isn't great!! It's strange that GM waited so long to put in the big tanks. My 2000 F350 had a 38 gallon tank

Looks like it'll be a Duramax or a Cummins
Go find a 2006 or 2007 Chassic GM D/A with the LBZ engine and 6 speed Allison. Best there was!

Do you have some stats to back that up, I could make the same claim about the 7.3

Here is some Duramax stats Clicky
Who gets the best MPG?
BTW, I believe that clicky has an error on the injection pump on the LML. It is the CP4.2 ticking bomb I believe, not the CP3 noted. Chris
