[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 853753, member: 23486"] I beg to differ, it is quite simple remove the emissions systems from most diesel pickups, it's not particularly difficult, just reprogram the computer; keep in mind, I do not work with heavy equipment & cannot comment there. It's also not difficult to understand why an entity would pay money to void their manufacturers warranty completely, because simply, Chrysler nor Cummins wouldn't warranty anything anyway. Might as well make your vehicles efficient & actually reliable, especially when you have a thousand or so running around the country. Most of our Dodge trucks where so poorly designed that they maintained their [I]own[/I] maintenance intervals. First it was rear ends, constantly, some tranny issues on the diesels. But the biggest was new front ends every 20k-30k miles, just like clockwork, every truck. The newer ones are holding up better, so far. The DEF system is working much better as we can actually idle our vehicles without going into limp mode & hobbling back to town at 20-25mph with a plugged DPF. They also get a LOT better fuel mileage. Ah, the good ole 7.3 back when diesels still made noise :D one of the better engines ever made. I see yours is the pre-intercooler model. The 4R-100 tranny wasn't exactly known for it's holding power either :) I'm nearly 3yrs into a 6.7L SuperDuty I ran the 6.0 Navistar for 4yrs before that (gotta love torque-to-yield head studs) :rolleyes:. So far so good, I don't refill my DPF tank nearly as often as I originally thought & it's pretty dern cheap. Mileage is getting better as the mileage increases (thank god) & she's treating me well. Some of my cohorts were running the first version of DEF operated Duramax' & had some issues with the DEF tank freezing & breaking the sensor off. The truck won't move it that happens; you know it's a good day when your brand new truck gets towed out of your driveway! :cool: t [/QUOTE]
