Sadly it doesn't matter if it is a farm truck. The EPA is still coming after people. Deff would post a video about deleting

[@awdeveau]

This is exactly how these trucks should come from the factory. Here in the states the EPA should be required to pay for all repairs needed on these trucks because of these emission systems, they should also have to pay for the lost wages of people that can't continue to work (like hotshot truckers, truckers in general) when their truck sits in a shop for weeks waiting for emission parts. If anyone actually thinks about all the extra manufacturing and transportation of def and the amount of trash produced from the empty cardboard and plastic containers, there is just no way it's better for the environment.

Just finished on my 2021 3500 HO and I couldn’t be happier. Zero smoke. Driveability is spectacular. Hardest and most frustrating part was unhooking the factory harnesses as well as trying to get the new bypass nipple pressed into the stand pipe. The muffler is the way to go with the 5 inch pipes. Sounds amazing around town and is nearly stock quiet on the highway at anything below 2000 rpm’s. Will be adding a universal diesel catalytic converter to help with the raw diesel smell.

If the emissions system worked reliably most people wouldn't care about deleting, but the systems are awful and unreliable. I spent 4k in parts and every month to 2 months the emissions light would come on and the limiter would kick in. GM mechanic told me the way they are trained is to do a 13 step process to repair and can be very expensive and never ending. His said the way to really fix it is to sell it and get a pre 2011.
