Why are you the only person on KZbin that knows how to make a good how to video?

[@darkirondiesel]

Haha thanks man. If you go back to my early videos years ago they probably aren’t the best. Practice I guess. Plus I hate having my time wasted when I’m looking at a “how to” video, so I try my best not to waste your time.

[@DavidWebb-rz3vi]

Nice job explaining everything! When I was wondering what the DEF gauge would read after deleting, you mentioned it would show 100% forever. Thank you for covering everything.

[@Mx-pch]

Well it depends where you get the kit from because I got the min maxx v2 and the gauge always reads 0%

Couldn’t have asked for a better bideo. Coming from an LML duramax. Took delivery of my Cummins Wednesday. Deleted it last night. You’re the man!

[@cjhead804]

just deleted my LML and did cp3 conversion and my goodness does it suck working on it. whole time i told myself i should’ve gotten a cummins cause it’s so much easier to work on

[@austinboone2265]

@@cjhead804 , yeah I hated working on the LML lol. They’re good trucks though, I just got tired of seeing stuff about the CP4, pistons, head gaskets, etc. so I traded her for a Cummins. Got the Megacab longhorn Laramie trim. 10x nicer than my Lml was.

It's embarrassing to admit but I've had a diesel for several years and never wanted to work on it cuz I was worried about ruining something I've completely redone my truck just watching these videos badass job doing a how-to video even for someone who doesn't know what's going on went perfect

[@jamesphillips1778]

Thank you for this, as the owner of a 2018 3500, recently ran into the crazed message of 150 miles before limp mode. You really just don't know how bad these emissions scams are until you read into them. Between 30-50% of diesel saver. Looking into the kit you've suggested. Thanks for the fast and detailed info.

[@nicholas2k8n]

This is honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Very thorough. Thank you!!!

[@AndTodaysProjectIs]

If anyone ever wonders, the 4th Gen DPF weighs right around 41 lbs (one with 100k miles on it and looks clean. The exhaust filter behind it weighs 58 lbs. DEF weighs about 9.1 lbs per gallon. Therefore, deleting a 4th gen just the DPF, exhaust Filter and DEF fluid emptied with a 4" 2 section stainless pipe that replaced the 2 underside parts from the diesel brothers... Without removing the EGR will save only 125 lbs of payload. Just gee wizz stuff. Thanks for the video.

[@TXBuild]

Great video! very thorough. I can just hear the sigh of relief from that engine, taking all that crap out. How much longer and better that engine will run. I'm planning on doing this to my 2017 Ram. Can't wait! Thanks again for such a great video.

Ordered mines today paid 2475 because I live in Hawaii and shipping is 250 how much did you pay and how do you like it?

[@Imarhinoceros-ks4go]

Ya I did. Install was easy. No issues as of yet, it’s been great. I think the only thing for me is I would prefer 4” instead of 5” but whatever.

I did the race me ultra with their EGR and dpf/cat pipes couldn’t be happier. The shipping was very fast too. No issues with anything

[@EllaJackson-wo6rj]

Can you send a link

[@christianvetter2283]

Do you drain the DEF tank after deleting? I imagine it will eventually crystalize and plug up if you don't. What's the best way to drain the tank, lines and injectors to ensure they're clear in the event you need to reconnect everything in the future?

[@hectorconcepcion5777]

This video just helped me make my decision between a 5.9 and a 6.7. Originally was going to get the 5.9 because I didn’t have to delete anything, so I would’ve saved some money. But I after watching this, I’ll buy a 6.7 and delete it with this kit. Thanks brother for the great video.

[@Paper4150]

"This is a little greasy." I was dying after I saw what you meant! Awesome videos man. haha

[@darkirondiesel]

Haha a little greasy but it works great

[@Splintermill]

Not even a little slippery! Just reengineered a dumb design. Think about it, if you had a problem with that hose for whatever reason and couldn’t fix it yourself, the stealership has to charge who knows how much to pull covers etc to get to it.

[@brianhenn9872]

Is this kit 100% reversible if need be?

[@johnhenry1395]

Great instructional Vid! Thanks for doing this. So my EGR Delete kit (via MiniMax) which I've had in my shed for about a year now, came with a new horn (w/o the flapper) to replace the the OE Throttle-Body (& flapper) with. I'm wondering if I should just leave the factory throttle-Body in place and just unplug the throttle sensor to it(?) as you did. What do you think??

[@bruceclark1226]

I have a 2014 6.7. The hardest thing I’ve done is change water pump, all coolant hoses and thermostat, drive belt, dropped tranny pan and changed filter/fluid. Is this something I can do if I only have this video for a guide?

[@albertosarazua9276]

I’m pretty new to all this and just got the def light on my 6.7cummins just wondering if this is something I can do in sections? First start with deleting def so I can use my truck? I want to do all but not in budget right now

[@BentonL]

What we need is someone to make a vid on how to delete the stuff in programming via HP tuners or EFI Live. I recently learned how to delete the Skim Module using EFI live so I can start a truck. I still dont know how to tune. I assume disabling the stuff without a tune is possible. Soon we wont be able to buy any of these kits. Already no longer allowed to discuss how to tune any more on the Cummins Forum as the feds are treading the discussion like its porn, drugs, guns, or terroristic nonsense.

[@WaterandWoodsmen]

There is a way with one of the systems you mentioned

[@stevenstobaugh1429]

​@floridaman7405 teach us. .. for off road uses only lol

[@darkirondiesel]

I don’t even know how to do that. I buy my tunes from companies that know what they are doing. For the roughly $500 it costs for a company to send you a tune I just do that instead of struggling my way through learning how to tune myself with risking damage to the engine.

[@BentonL]

@@darkirondiesel For the most part I pay for tunes, but on some trucks like the one with a skim module issue I just want to get it started so I can see what I am working with. As time goes on there will be fewer people who tune till eventually there is no one who will openly say they do for fear of legal troubles. We all need to learn some level of it before it is to late. I am just starting out. I can disable certain modules and adjust limits among a few other things. I still have a long way to go. Newest truck I have is an 06. I use firepunk. Its less than $500 for revisions. I dont like how low he sets the rail pressures. I hack his tune by installing a 220mpa sensor to scale it up.

Have any issues with the kit or tunes ?

[@marcoflores-bp1sq]

Hello. I have a question. Do these modifications apply to a Freightliner M2 106 ISB Cummins 6.7 ?

[@seanmcintyre5148]

Quick note for people who have done a delete and are getting either an intermittent or constant p0111 code. You need to remove the egr your butterfly valve is gummed up allowing airflow thru

[@streetstunna7131]

If nothing from the egr is removed does the egr cooler still work?

[@mattscott1286]

How important is it to tune the pickup before dropping the DPF and EGR? I just did one on a 2017 Ram 6.7 because I also replaced the turbo. The pickup never ran until I was finished with it all. Your videos are great.

[@masonbiehle6314]

If my 2018 has already been deleted/tuned, do I still have to do the cable change? Or will that already be done, just order the efi live and plug it in and let it tune?

[@naininja2485]

Will this new epa lawsuit/recall make deleting impossible for someone in the marked a used 13-19 Ram right now?

I have 2 questions for you. I have a 2014 Cummins 6.7 and the first step is to tune it then delete it? Second question, do you need to delete the ccv filter? Thanks for any info.

[@M1A4R8K8]

Will this kit also work for the 3500 chassis cabs and will I lose all my EGT sensors?

[@mynameiswrm]

Question: is it best to do this all at once or can you tune and delete and then physically remove the emmisions at a later date? Only reason I ask ( I'm a newbie with diesels) is that I have my tuner but I'm still waiting on the exhaust kit, so I'm just wondering if it's safe or bad on the vehicle to tune and delete without removing the exhaust at the same time?

Great video. You can skip all pipe work. You can pressure wash with 4200 psi the ceramic filters out. How do I know? I did it yesterday trying to clean dpf filter after it caught fire on my 2013.

What's the purpose of removing the throttle valve?

[@mattsherick8166]

First off great video, amazing step by step instructions, I’m only here for the EGR delete, my truck was previously modified with the 5” exhaust and EFi live, but my EGR cooler started leaking so off she goes. I ran into a small or huge problem, the very last bolt (nut) on the EGR cooler that is on the right side (pretty much in a blind spot) Well that sucker the nut started to pull the stud out, I was like ok, I keep going but eventually the stud snapped off, no problem the cooler is out. Now for the removal of that stud and finding a replacement? Any advice is appreciated.

[@darkirondiesel]

Is there still enough threats to get a nut on? You could also heat the manifold super hot and try to remove it with a bolt extractor socket

[@mattsherick8166]

@@darkirondiesel there aren’t any threads left but there is about an inch of the stud so probably a drill chuck extraction tool + torch

[@mattsherick8166]

I finally got this thing done, sheesh, 2 weeks of hell with 2 stuck bolts, I ended up pulling the turbo and exhaust manifold together getting all new studs and nuts and chasing the threads! Got a new problem, after putting everything back together and filling up the coolant, when I drive everything is fine, no leaks but when I stop and shut down the engine I'm dumping coolant near the water pump? Maybe I messed something else up, or hooked something up wrong? Any suggestions are apprciated.

[@mattsherick8166]

Ok, looks like my water pump developed a leak, not sure if I got trash in the cooling system or whatever but, I’m back on the path!!

[@mynameiswrm]

Question man... so, I HARDLY ever deal with stop and go but today I drove through way more stop and go intersections than normal and now I'm having a hard downshift from 2nd to first. Could it be that the transmission was trying to relearn and now it's just at a "funky" leaning curve and would you recommend doing a relearn with the tune?

[@jworden570]

What is the best way to test your sotf switch know it’s actually working?

[@darkirondiesel]

Do a pull in 1 and a pull in 5 you should notice a difference. Also, if you look at the back of your switch there should be a green light and it should flash when you change the switch with the ignition in the “run” position. Or else there should be a little button to activate the green light and as you turn the switch to higher levels the light will get dimmer when you press it. Just make sure ignition is on.

Any recommends for cheap plug covers or shrink wrap, asking for a friend.

[@thomasab6253]

Does the tuning have to be done before everything else or can you tune it after you take off the EGR cooler and the muffler?

[@darkirondiesel]

It’s best practice to tune first, the reason being if you have problems with the tune it’s much easier to figure out with a stock truck rather then a truck with a bunch of engine lights on because the emissions have been removed. But in most cases you should be able to tune afterwards no problem.
