Just did my 2011 F250 yesterday, with a little help from this video. I would add that the front bolts from the downtube are 13mm and a swivel and an extension bar will zip the outside one off easily. The 3 rears are 15mm and are a PITA. Trying not to snap them is the best advice, because hammering out the old studs and replacing with bolts isn't as easy as it sounds. With some of the wiring, it's easier to pop the clips off the frame to bring the connector down to where you can reach it and undo.

[@williambialko5493]

What do you do about the def tank and did you get any check engine lights? Also if you have a tuner what tuner do you have?

[@dylanlabelle367]

Hey, I appreciate your video. It’s gonna help me a lot. I’m about to delete my dpf on my 2016 and I was just curious if you did break those studs. What size and length grade 8 bolts would I need? Thanks

[@krazigirl1000]

I am thinking of doing my truck straight pipe as well. Do any codes come on after not connecting anything onto the existing connections

[@trentclark653]

I wanted to double check and make sure I don’t have to remove the egr cooler and just have to unplug it? A lot of videos are showing people removing it when doing a dpf delete and putting on a tuner. If I can just unplug the egr instead of removing it that would save time and I would rather do that. Any ideas or opinions?

[@timothyhaning8750]

So the guy that helped me delete and tune my truck did not mention unplugging the 2 egr plugs you mentioned. I have approx 4k miles as is with no issues, so why are you unplugging these? Any tips on where to out a new egt sensor to monitor before the turbo? I'm regularly hauling a 5th wheel camper at about 15k lbs btw.

[@dakahulaz59]

Hey boss! Thanks for the video! I k ow this video is old but I’m doing my 11 tomorrow and had a question….do I need to take off the sensors from the DPF and plug it back into the truck? Someone told me you need to if not truck goes into reduced power. Thanks!!!

[@lt4753]

Did you block off any down pipes or anything?

[@menamorado18]

It would be just those 2 plugs for the egr?

[@dakotajoesoutdoors6283]

I'm about to delete my 2011 supper duty 6.7 do I need to put run onbbefour my deleted pip and do I unplug befour or after I run. What wood happen if I left it stock and did delete pip and unplug egr

[@griffinyoung5011]

Anyone know that the bolt size is for the rear flange bolts? I’d rather go ahead and have them as opposed to breaking and having to go get them, trying to make this work as quick as possible

[@tommymccarthy3757]

do i have to get rid of my egr

[@sebastianvazquez9967]

Great video

[@emonkandahari9404]

I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. In some states where there are emissions testing, we will have to put the dpf back on to pass. If I were to delete my truck would it be easy to put the dpf back on? Would I need to put the stock tune back on? Would it throw any errors?

[@darkirondiesel]

Emon Kandahari if you just install the delete pipes like I show in this video and don’t break any electrical connections it should be relatively easy to put the DPF system back in the truck. You will need to reprogram the truck back to the factory programming or else you risk doing damage to your engine. Just when you buy a programmer make sure it saves the stock file so you can return it to stock if need be. If you don’t have the stock file you can install the DPF system then drive the truck directly to the dealership and have them flash your truck back to stock setting. Hope this helps!

[@KemikalReaktions]

ATLANTA require emissions testing. But not in a truck this size. It’s the weight that makes you not have to test it.

[@Subi_doo]

I know everyone likes to sell there shit they take off…. SAVE IT!! If you ever want to sell your truck, most dealers won’t take them and make you sign a waiver that your your truck is in compliance with some air act. I’m sure lying, is punishable under federal law since its emissions related. So make it easy on yourself and save your parts for reuse at trade in or sale.

[@jap338kx]

why do you have to unplug the egr

[@toneyevett5099]

any tips on removing the dpf from the hangers once all sensors are unplugged? i have not found a step by step removal video yet.

[@darkirondiesel]

It’s actually really easy on these trucks. First of all, unbolt the hanger from the frame at the front of the exhaust (2 13mm nuts) and then go to back of dpf, use a pry bar and pry them off, then go to the two hangers at the front and do the same thing. Spray them down with WD40 or another lube product, it helps them slide off easier.

[@burnair1608]

I though there were two plugs to unplug on the EGR side?

[@devinray221]

I haven't found a video yet except for yours that explains things very well but what do you do the leftover wires on the truck from the DPF zip tie them and leave them

[@darkirondiesel]

Ya I just zip tie them out of the way. If you plan on reinstalling your dpf at some point it would be a good idea to try and waterproof your sensors by putting balloons on the connectors and using an elastic band to secure it, or something like that just to keep water out.

[@theoregonexperience4249]

@@darkirondiesel so you don't plug in the old sensors? just make sure the harness connections are water tight?

[@connorw4578]

Sunny diesel makes a plug kit for exposed harness plugs.

[@justincase3091]

Where are you located? Just wondering if you just left the plugs open afterword's. Here In western Canada with the snow and moisture they often cut the plug off and seal the ends with shrink wrap.

[@user-dn6qy1ou1f]

Just wrap the plugs in electrical tape, put a ziplock bag over each one, tape the bag shut, and zip tie out of the way

[@danielrodriguez5061]

I was wondering after deleting the dpf how loud is it inside the cab at cruising speeds. You mentioned a resonator being on there but did not see a muffler. Just curious would like to have something like this but afraid it might be too loud at highway speeds. My 2011 6.7 is my everyday driver. Great video by the way!

[@darkirondiesel]

It’s not bad in the cab, you can hear it when you are accelerating aggressively but just cruising speeds is fine!

[@danielrodriguez5061]

@@darkirondiesel Thanks for the response

[@FrankMejiasDIY]

Hi Darkiron, I have a 2011 Powerstroke since 2012 , bought it low k's here in Toronto, in 2013 Ford did a recall on such truck,, took it to the stealership they did I don't know what to it, AND ever since then my truck never asked again for DEF or regenerated the DPF. Now after about 10 years got the Elight came on, I diagnosed it and replaced the reductant injector , then again light on DEF contamination ( bowled ) and then now I'm limited to 88 km/h. After all this I just don't trust the stealership and refuse to go back to them. I just want to tune/delete DPF. Please can you tell me what's the best way to do this. ? Thanks

[@ghostpepperrides4805]

My 2012 in ford for EGR cooler now. 97000 miles but ford will warranty all work/ parts. Next time I’ll do a delete

[@coolyundo]

can you just install a dpf back exhaust and cold air in the 6.7 without throwing any lights or tune?

[@darkirondiesel]

I don’t thing there is such thing as a DPF back exhaust, and even if there was, the DPF muffles all the sound of the truck so putting a bigger tail pipe on wouldn’t sound any different and it wouldn’t flow any better either because of all the DPF filters. But to answer your question, if you just modified the exhaust after the DPF filter and installed a cold air intake no you would not need to tune it, as long as you leave the DPF fully Intact.

[@petermundorff1552]

Hey there, Came across your video. Great job explaining what to do. I have an 11 that I bought the straight pipe, and H&S Tuner with the preloaded tunes. Wanted to know when the sensors on the DPF Filter are unplugged, and the filter is removed, after putting the straight pipe on, do you run the custom tunes before removing sensors and the filter? Or, do you do that after? Thanks

[@dakahulaz59]

Hey bro, what did you end up doing first? Doing mine this weekend! Great question! I noticed this guy don’t respond to his comments on his Tube channel

[@petermundorff1552]

@@dakahulaz59 hey man. Sorry for the delay. I ended up running the tuner after I removed the filter, but before I started it. Started up no problems or errors.

[@wessears9314]

I have a 2014 F.350. my truck is stuck at a dealership in limp mode because of a DEF Fault, if I have the tuner to delete, can I just unplug everything and drive it home then finish installing the straight pipe and egr delete? I know that's not the preferred method but would it be okay? And do you have to take the sensors out and plug them back into the harness or can you just leave them all unplugged?

[@darkirondiesel]

Yes you can go tune it and drive it home, as long as home isn’t more then 100 miles away. After 100 miles you risk engine damage. You don’t even have to unplug anything at the dealer, just tune it and drive it home and once home unplug it all and remove it. As for the sensors you just unplug them all. Leave the sensors in the exhaust.

[@summerhallman5260]

what about the rubber hoses that was connected to to the dpf?

[@darkirondiesel]

Just cut them or remove the clamps and pull the hoses off

[@danielhumsi7182]

Just bought a 2016 6.7 with a lift on 35s on it. Of course I’m not expecting the best fuel economy but I’m getting 11 on a good day and with all I’ve been reading this is about the best way to increase fuel mileage, is that correct?

[@edixonleon1800]

Yes

[@rickgriffin1124]

Kyle how a you? Question, I understand disconnecting egr orange plugs before tuning, afterwards do I keep those 2 plugs disconnected?

[@darkirondiesel]

Yes

[@parkerhaberman8677]

When unplugging the egr are you disabling it where it doesn’t work so basically doing a dpf and egr delete or do you still have to take it the egr and buy a delete kit for it sorry if i sound stupid I’ve never worked on a ford

[@darkirondiesel]

The tune disables the egr, then you unplug it to make sure it’s disabled. The egr valve (as long as it was working properly) will remain closed once you tune the truck. Theoretically it shouldn’t be letting any exhaust back into the engine but guys remove the egr for peace of mind and for looks. But it’s not necessary but definitely better to get rid of it in my opinion

[@gonesurfin82]

@@darkirondiesel Why do some videos show 3 cables you have to unplug for egr? (2 orange and 1 black) How do you know for sure that the egr valve is open or closed? Is that why you only unplug the two orange cables? To keep the valve closed? Is there a way to tell if it's open or closed? Thanks

[@lacrosse2916]

Hey Kyle, I just stumbled onto your channel. I had my 2011 6.7 deleted last month from Alpine Diesel in Nisku, AB. They used tunes from AM Diesel Performance in Kelowna. Do you use or know much about them? I'm pretty impressed with them so far. Cheers!

[@darkirondiesel]

Hey I’ve never heard of them before but if the trucks running good then I’d assume they are good tunes!

[@lacrosse2916]

It is! I have the same flo pro straight pipe with the stock exhaust like you did in the video. I’m so happy I deleted my 6.7

[@motivationmade9165]

@@lacrosse2916 Have you seen a difference in MPG with the delete?

[@lacrosse2916]

I’ve seen a bit of an increase. I went from 14.9L/100km to about 12.9L/100km. I saw some big gains pulling our 28ft travel trailer this summer from Calgary to Sicamous.

[@lacrosse2916]

But that’s going off of the fuel mileage calculated by the truck. I’ll have to calculate it myself.

[@JimmieABES]

Did you just unplug the 2 red plugs on the EGR? Is there another one you need to do? Might be a week before I get to do the full EGR delete with blockoffs and what not.

[@darkirondiesel]

Ya the plug on the EGR cooler itself and then the throttle valve. The throttle valve isnt on the EGR system, its that pipe on the front driver side of the engine.

[@austinresendez220]

I put on the 5” back exhaust and didn’t know everything didn’t come together. Would this part (857nb) fit with the 5”?

[@darkirondiesel]

Like you bought a DPF back 5” tail pipe? If that’s the case no I don’t think the delete pipes will fit because they are only 4”

[@austinresendez220]

Dark Iron Diesel yes just the tail pipe missing the straight pipe to the turbo figured this was it... guess not

[@darkirondiesel]

Well wait a second, it might actually fit. Because your 5” tail pipe has the 3 bolt triangle flange right? I can’t say for sure if it will work, but it might. You could also call flo-pro tech support. They are easy to deal with.

[@austinresendez220]

Dark Iron Diesel yes it’s does end with the 3 bolt flange, that’s why when I saw the video I thought it would bolt right in. But thank you so much for the help man and thanks for tip on the tech support!!

Can I unplug all the sensors, tune it, drive it home then install the straight pipe and egr delete? I know it's probably not preferred to do it that way but can I? Do you unplug all the sensors then tune it or tune it then unplug all the sensors? And will the tune get rid of my def fault and take it out of limp mode?

Dark Iron Diesel so my buddy gave me a h&s off a dodge but I was hooked up to a bully dog would I run into trouble hooking it up to my f250?

[@darkirondiesel]

MrLuquin79 no you should be fine. If the bully dog is still tuned to your truck I would uninstall it first, that way it’s not vin locked to your truck so you could sell it to someone else or tune another truck with it. Then select your vehicle on the H&S tuner and install that download on your truck. If the H&S tuner is locked to his dodge I can get unlock codes for them.

[@MrLuquin79]

Dark Iron Diesel I uninstalled the h&s from the dodge and left the bully dog module thing in there. The h&s tune status reads “uninstalled” and I have selected the vehicle 11-12 6.7 Powerstroke. Only thing I was worried about was it not working and having to get my truck flashed or something. Thanks for the clarification though !

I meant the h&s was hooked up to the bully dog on a dodge and I unhooked it from the bully dog and just got the h&s for my Ford F-250 ...
