If it is a matter of signing the paper and throwing on a trailer...that seems reasonable
I understand legality issue and really dont like the fact to make my truck more reliable and better for using like its meant to be used its "illegal" because politicians say so. If i was more mechanically inclined towards diesels I would do it myself but I know my limits. Jackelope, yes its a 6.4, my budget will be about 10 grand give or take. What I was looking to do was the deletes, a new full exhaust, intercooler, fuel system, and whatever the mechanic recommended for reliability and a little better mileage. I really appreciate the help.
My truck came from Montana where the delete was done but I guess it's legal for a dealer in Washington to sell a vehicle like that. That being said maybe take it out of state and have it done. Check with Spartan Tuners also. From what I understand the tuner can really do a lot for a diesel, mileage and horsepower and they run about $1500.00.
I think I will try out the bulletproof diesel egr amd oil cooler set up to see how they work out. That way no broken laws, even if they are bs.
I have been thinking of doing the same thing to my 2012 6.7 powerstoke now that the warranty is finally over. I am getting tired of the "cleaning exhaust" indicator coming on. I have already had the egr cooler replaced and I only have 65,000 miles on it. Everything is bolt on, so it seems pretty straight forward for a guy to do himself that is mechanically inclined. Just need to figure out what programmer tongo with. I will say that the resale worries me if I go that route though.
Do it yourself, I did mine on my 6.7 with my buddy in a weekend, it wasn’t that bad. YouTube is your friend!
Had mine done a few months back because I had so many issues with sensors in my duramax going out all the time and throwing me in limp mode. I literally had my truck at the dealership for a month and a half the final time. Cost me 1500 bucks they slapped a new air system in it and told me it was good to go. Didn’t even get home and I was in limp mode again. Come to find out it was a factory recalled sensor 😡. I found a mechanic that a bunch of my buddies have used and took it to him at his house as a side project. I bought all the parts and he did all the work for 500$. I would suggest finding a situation like that because any shop I contacted wanted 1000-1500$ for labor. Truck is awesome now! 5 mpg better fuel economy and a ton more power. Truck runs and feels great. Should have seen the black chunky crap fly out the exhaust when we first started it after work was completed. I am a firm believer that the exhaust systems on these trucks these days kill the vehicle! I will always delete from now on, it’s a night and day difference on the way these trucks perform. Of course I kept all parts just in case I have to convert back for some dumb reason

With my 35’s I was always going faster than Speedo said. And I agree, from now on every truck I buy will get this exhaust system! Except I can’t afford-or better yet- won’t spend 80,000 on a new truck so I’ll probably drive this till the wheels fall off!
