Looking for anyone to advise on a Complete DEF delete

Gonna guess it’s a Ram 1500 eco diesel.

Not 30mpg.....

[MacAttack]

my new truck came with a 'lifetime powertrain' warranty and 80k warranty on emissions equipment with free oil changes for life.

i get over 30 mpg long highway drives and 17-18 towing my 21 ft boat
i'm not deleting squat right now 
even with no more emissions testing, jackelope is right, you have any plans to trade it in, it's going to take a huge hit and be a pita.
ALSO, how are you supposed to road hunt when your truck is so damn noisey? 

What kind of rig are you getting those numbers out of? Almost seems like a pipe dream.

I have  a 15 Ram fully deleted that i did myself that is awesome.  It's lifted 2.5 inches sitting on 35 inch tires getting around 21 mpg's on the high way.

i know it's not a full size diesel so it's kind of 'cheating' but i don't tow horse trailers or big travel trailers.
it was the upgrade from Toyota Tacomas for me.  My boat is a 21 ft north river seahawk and for towing that, it works quite well.

Which delete kit did you get? I also have a 15 that I’m about to do. Thinking about the race me tuner.

Do it 
The RaceMe is great. Also look at the MM3.

Delete update
Well finally got the systems deleted on the truck after only having problems with 1 bolt and new parts installed and programmed, can't give a report on any update on change in fuel economy but can say that when you stand on the throttle this 6.7 is now rocket propelled  , definitely puts you back in the seat. will be making a trip one day this week and can hopefully give a report on fuel usage following the short 100 mile round trip

The important thing to remember with all of this is that it's illegal to do. It's also illegal for shops to knowingly work on trucks that have had federal emissions equipment tampered with.
It's a resale risk and a trade in risk.
Also after I don't know how many dozen 6.7 Powerstroke trucks I've seen here, I can't think of any DPF's we've replaced on one. A few EGR valves and a few EGR coolers here and there on the early 6.7's. Tampering with a perfectly good truck doesn't always pencil out. You're going to spend a few thousand bucks to save some gas money. How much driving do you have to do to make up the difference? How much driving are you going to do? Yes, you can make some more power, but how much power do you need? Those trucks are very powerful stock from the factory.
Most of the time I see this stuff done, it's done to a lifted 6.7 Super Duty on 24" wheels that will never see a trailer in it's backup camera. The truck is owned by a flat brim wearing bro country listener who lives in Bellevue and will never use(or need) the power the trucks make.

this is one where we need a like tag.
That is funny and accurate in most cases.  i have afriend that tried to trade in a 2011 and no one would take it.  he sold it to someone in personal transaction that also wanted a deleted 2011 F350.

Update on fuel economy changes for those interested.
Fueled up when left home and topped off when got back.
Now Winthrop to Chelan is not exactly highway driving and what one would say is average driving but used to get around 17+/- mpg, using actual gallons used today, averaged 22.6, using Cc when I could, so might not seem like a big increase to some but 5 mpg is satisfactory considering only changes made to truck were the deleting the PDF and EGR and installing an EZ LYNK tuner, I'M fairly happy with the increase.
The kit I used has no major increase in exhaust noise, a concern of some and when hammering down on the throttle no cloud of black smoke

5mpg is huge, with a 32 gallon tank (i have it in mine) that's over 150 miles a tanks a fuel..... thats awesome

Rolling coal would be more apt to happen with a hotter tune. Crank it up if you can and jump on it. See what happens.

[Jpmiller]

What's the point in deleting all that if you're not blowing out black smoke 

Seriously 5mpg is no joke, the negligable noise increase is also good to hear.

most of these aftermarket tunes can really crank up the power, unfortunately the OEM transmissions installed are not rated.. there are lots of BAD things that can come from "cranking up".. reading about this,  recommended no more than +50 HP without transmission high pressure pumps and programming mods to support , which is another rabbit hole to go down..

5 MPG is Huge
