[@jaydog5900]

Anyone doing this for the first time like I just did today, I highly suggest letting the company that made your tune file rewrite your ECM for you. They had me install Anydesk on my laptop, and they were able to remote install my tunes for me. The tune software is the only part of this project that had me nervous 😅 Having them install it for me took all the worry away, and they are super nice too

[@darkirondiesel]

Did you watch my “how to tune L5P video”?

[@jaydog5900]

@darkirondiesel yes I did, and it was extremely helpful. I would have completed it all using the video, but I was sent the wrong tuning software. They finally got the correct software for me, and since I had them on the phone, I asked them to install it for me. They did a couple extra steps I didn't see in your video. I assume it was due to hp tuners having done some updates to their own software. I really appreciate your videos, and I couldn't have done any of this without your videos.

[@jaydog5900]

@darkirondiesel although since I got your attention, I do have a question. Hopefully, you can answer. After my EGR delete, I have a code for fuel regulation range. I was curious if my 2017 should have that throttle body plug installed. Your video said to leave it unplugged. Any ideas where my issue is? Thanks... Update.. I plugged everything back in and have definitely narrowed my issue back to that throttle body plug you said in the video to leave unplugged. With it unplugged, I get a code of P0002, and with it plugged back in, I get a code of P0001. The P0001 says fuel volume control regulator circuit is open, and the P0002 says fuel volume regulator control circuit range/performance.. Do you have any idea if I need a can bus plug here? Thanks

[@go4brp2]

That’s funny. I literally did the same exact thing today for mine! Called them, they literally did EVERYTHING for me software and tune-wise. Much easier. And thanks @darkirondiesel for these videos. Extremely helpful, and also saved me 3 extra grand for someone else to do it.

[@OutDooRider2008]

How long did the full delete take you and what special tools where needed to make the job easier

[@stephenb6054]

Kyle,Good D.I.Y. here in Florida we do not have emission testing. BUT there have been some "Diesel shops" getting fined by the EPA for doing DPF emission deletes. So, to find a shop to do this delete could be a challenge in any U.S. state. While you are at it, I suggest to anyone doing this delete, replace the turbo inlet "pipe" w/ a BANKS inlet pipe, it's a good upgrade. For any diesel newbies out there, remember that an auto dealership will not take your diesel pickup on a trade if the exhaust emissions are deleted!

[@good0554]

Great video I have been waiting for almost a year for something like this. Thank you

[@texasson]

Did my 2020 about 6 weeks ago... But I got my kit from a different company, but looked exactly the same(even the coolant hoses that were too short). I wish I would've had this video before then. lol. It really wasn't bad. The V-band clamps were the biggest pain in the ass under the hood.... That front canister on the exhaust was the biggest pain in the ass for the exhaust.... for me. But it was a fun job. Also, at 11:04, I just reused that hard coolant line for the coolant return from the turbo... It prevented me from having to buy more hose, and it gave it(in my opinion) a little cleaner look. Only issues, When I start the truck, I get a DEF fluid low message and have to clear it. It's only when I start it, and doesn't cause any issues other than I get the message. Also, really weird, my trailer light plugs haven't worked since I free'd my truck. Flashed stock tune back on truck just to be sure, but still no power at the plug. All fuses look good. IDK. Good video! It will definitely help a lot of people.

OK, I just did my tuning and pipe today EGR tomorrow just to let everybody know that the locations of the coolant line that goes to the exhaust are different on the 2017 to 2019 same concept, but they’re not down low like that on newer models like in the video and answer anybody’s question removing that pipe and putting a new one in is not fun

[@JustinCyr-c8x]

Hey, thanks for everything you do. You make life a lot easier for all the other techs out there.

[@darkirondiesel]

I’m glad! To be honest I often reference my own videos myself haha

[@lucasmancini7415]

When I deleted my 2023 l5p I just cut the scr in half. Aka the one on back of turbo. I didn’t remove the turbo. Took me 5 minutes to cut the scr out. To each their own. Also for the coolant return line on turbo to coolant tank I just used the metal hose that you threw away in the beginning and added a short piece of hose to the end to connect to the turbo. Looks a little cleaner and attached to the y bridge just like oem. But your way works also but have to buy a new hose.

[@lucasmancini7415]

Also good move using the oem fittings on the heater core lines. I used the aftermarket plastic ones that my kit came with. (Not diesel dudes kit) and I was towing and one of the heater core hoses blew off lost all my coolant in the mountains. So anyone doing this definitely reuse oem fittings.

[@lucasmancini7415]

Also I left alternator in the truck it’s totally up to whoever installing. It can be taken out or left in. Makes more room to work but is still doable to leave it in place.

[@darkirondiesel]

Thanks for all the advice and insight man! The viewers will appreciate it for sure!

[@lucasmancini7415]

@@darkirondiesel no problem that’s what it’s all about. I was hoping you did this video before I did my kit about a year and a half ago. I was waiting and waiting but never came. And there is no good videos of l5p delete installs on KZbin or anywhere for that matter. So I’m sure this will definitely help out a lot of guys. I’ve done Cummins before and thought it would be easy. Well I was wrong lol. Way different than a Cummins that’s for sure. But keep the videos coming great work man.

[@RandomStuff-zt6qf]

2:55 after unplugging that, should you tape the remaining plug up with electrical tape or something?

[@cantstopwontstop976]

Might be a silly question but by getting rid of all the filters in the exhaust does this delete the def fluid as well or is that a separate delete?

[@logan44777]

do you recommend the tune that comes with this kit or would you pick something different if it was your truck?

[@darkirondiesel]

I 100% recommend the tunes that come with this kit. The kit uses GDP tunes which I’ve had really good success with.

[@joeb.8625]

Dose the dp come with it? Since you’re a pro how Much do you charge without removing the egr incase I would want to revert back?

[@juanitofootball94]

Are the can bus plugs? Are they to trick the ecm to think the emission parts are still there?

[@darkirondiesel]

They are to complete the power circuit that runs your fuel pump/sending unit.

Would you happen to know what size the def plug is?i have 3 options... 1/2 3/8 5/16...my truck is a 2017....thanks

Could those 2 coolant lines down low just be looped together?

[@ScaryHours23]

Does the WCF down pipe work? Or do you have to buy the diesel dude down pipe? My 2023 already has the down pipe in.

[@BrendonBentz-vb2gn]

That pin you put in the def injector line actually goes where the 9th fuel injector is on the driver frame rail.

[@VRGamingTherapy]

I was wondering this. On my 19 it says to remove that hard coolant line from the exhaust & plug the 9th fuel injector on the driver side... I guess this is an alternative??

Would you know what pin actually goes into the def line?I need a plug ,spraying def all over my truck

@@samtuck4812 you don't need to plug those two def lines, just run the one hose from one to the other and bridge it off.

I’m sure this is a common question BUT is there a guide for the 3.0L? 😅

[@cameronf2758]

Is there a difference in the gaskets for the oil feed and the coolant feed/return on the turbo? I can't seem to get my oil feed line to seal up.

[@rgstjohn5725]

I was under the impression that the billet quick connect plug goes into the fuel line to the 9th injector. With the can bus plugs, it won’t pump def fluid through the hose anyways.

[@dennymiller527]

Yep, it goes in 9th injector

[@isaiahwillis5082]

What’s the process of deleting it without removing the egr? Just an exhaust and a tune? And does it still sound decent?

[@darkirondiesel]

No it doesn’t really sound much different than stock. Yes, tune it, exhaust, and can bus plugs. But only recommend running a low HP tune since you still have the exhaust filter in the downpipe.

[@GustavoVital-q8x]

Just a minor correction. You called the component behind the turbo the SCR. That isn't correct. The SCR is the component located between the cross members downstream from the DEF Injector. The component behind the turbo is the DOC. So it goes - DOC - SCR - DPF.. then out the tailpipe.
