I have an '11 and had the EGR and DPF deleted and run a H&S tuner and it has plenty of power! I also added Mag-Hytech rear diff and transmission pans to increase fluid and disipate heat. I also downloaded the transmission tuner which I believe made the shift points perfect for the 4.10 gearing. I used to pull a 40' 5th wheel and now carry a 2016 1172 and it runs down the road like nothing is on the rear of the truck. No kidding I'm often passing folks on the hills in CO and my temps are good...it just runs great. As someone else pointed out the '11 CTD was the last year that the Rams came without DEF...Ford and Chev/GMC had already made the switch.
I only have 53k miles on my Ram 3500 CTD but it runs better everyday. I've talked with some guys that have 2015-16s and they seem to be in for some code error or something about every 3 months. I'd look long and hard at your current rig and possible some modifications to add some power if that's what you are looking for!
