EGR Delete

[007matman]

Post 97 was about as civil as it gets.

If I offended you or your almighty Cummins/Dmax, I'm sorry.

The truck was a 2008, 3500 SRW 6.7L Cummins. We worked together when we both started this quest back in 2009 on our trucks. At the time this was done inspections were every year because of the new hardware on the trucks.

That's odd. I've had my diesel since 2005 and as far as I know Calif. has NEVER had an annual inspection. Mine has been every two years since they started the program in 2010. If it can be done, that's great, but still more work than it's worth to me.

Its all about the noise , people take that ring out and it makes more noise, think its a thing like having to roll coal, why do it , not sure why you would

Yep, it's every two years. Been that way forever unless your vehicle is less that a certain number of years old and then there are no inspections.

Thoughts?
Thanks

If you ever took the throttle valve off and looked in there you would be deleting asap, forget about the add on tuners that give upwards of 150 hp, all that is going to do for you is take the transmission out sooner than later, you can delete with, efi live tuning, efi live will let you crank it way up if you want to also, but you wont need it, proper way to do it is to pull your stock tune out of your truck , send it to some one that will just remove all emission checks, once your stock file is edited , you simply install it back in , and it drives normal, if you crank them up and you're pulling with it your stock 68rfe wont take it , and you will be doing trans after trans, until you hate the truck, Ive done my 09 with efi live , and gained a huge mileage increase while not towing, towing is better also but not so noticeable for obvious reasons
Your 09 is getting close to be having to do something with emission upgrading and you are far better off spending the money in other directions, I also have a 2014 that's now off warranty and have all the parts, being new stainless alloy exhaust, egr delete kit, and the throttle body delete, which isnt really necessary but cleans things up
deleting isnt all about cranking it up , and one look in your throttle body to see all the carbon going back into that motor will convince you of that , go buy a sonnax line pressure increaser for transmission oil pressure , it raises the line pressure on the 68rfe by up to 15lbs, not alot but for longevity it all adds up
and dont think just because you have the aisin transmission that you can crank it up, the aisin is a great transmission, there is no way of turning up the oil pressure on them and with increased power they too will fail sooner than later
I say get it done , ive done a few for some of my friends as ive bought a efi live programmer, i send out the stock files to be edited, its a 3mb file , you just copy it out of your truck and email it away, i think now they just match up your op system from your ecm and use generic files,
you wont ever regret deleting , save all your old parts, in case you have to ever put them back on,

Ram never copied any bodys transmission, they still have a shitty 68rfe that they put behind the 6.7 in 2007 they have up graded it somewhat, but its still the same they did however install the 68 aisin in the later years and now have upgraded it to the aisin asrc69 which is a great hd puller trans

Not where I live. Hopefully the president will gut the EPA

Or at least make the EPA have a bit more common sense approach!

I agree 100%

[Paulie1138]

Over the past bunch of years, it seems the EPA comes up with some crappy regulation that screams....somebody had to justify their existence for employment for another year!!!!!!

Do not get me wrong, the EPA has its place, but some of the reg’s they have come up with makes ya shake your head! What is next, cattle farms have to put tubes in cows to capture methane? LOL!

How can you say the 68RFE is shitty? The transmission was design to support a minimum of 350 HP and 650 lb.-ft. of torque which this does extremely will.

There are several "Hot Shoters" who have put over 200,000 miles on the 68RFE Auto before rebuild. The only thing that needs to be done is change the filters and fluid at the assigned mileage in the owners manual, to make this transmission live!

I have over 125,000 miles on my trans and this works great, I am also running 60Hp/120 lb.-ft. TQ overstock. I up grade the power and performance when the truck went under the knife at 21,000 miles, for health issues of the engine.

The ASRC68 Aisin was never used in the pick-up trucks 2500 and 3500 models but was available in the C&C model of trucks.

The ASRC69 was and is offered in the pick-up trucks 3500 model only, staring in 2013.5 when the 6.7L Cummins started using DEF, with the higher payload ratings.

Having EPA and common sense in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

So right. I wonder how a government agency starts out with good intentions and then goes off the deep end

[Paulie1138]

One can hope, can’t they?
