I went to my local dealer and was talking to the diesel tech about the dpf delete and he told me that instead of taking the dpf off the truck and having the cel light come on he said to take a 7/8 inch auger bit and drill a hole down thru it he also said not to go any bigger than the 7/8 inch bit because it will then set the cel light with a code but that the 7/8 inch hole will let it breath better.

 

So who wants to try this first? I'm willing to watch from the sidelines :-)

I wonder what that would do to the regen cycles?

 

If this real works I would have to try it. But im not going to be the first to try it out. If someone ttys it then I will have to do it

 

This guy was joking right? Or was he just trying to get more repair work?

 

That will not work. You will soot up the rest and have a single 7/8 hole for your exhaust to flow thru restriction. It will probably stop running after it plugs up

 

Yup and a new DPF is around $2500 USD... Put it on the shelf and deal with aftermarket or punch a hole in it. Either way your warranty is in limbo..

 

Don't really matter anyways about warranties...If chrysler files for Bankruptcy...your warranties are bye bye..just like the union contracts.

 

already stated that the government will back your warranty...i'm not worried

 

Government warranty? Have you ever been w/o insurance and had to rely on a county hospital?

 

ha ha ha very true! Please take your 50k pick up to the city Garage, they will take care of all your problems

 

Did you ask this genius technician to show you where he did this on HIS personal truck and what he expected to gain by it?

 

I wouldn't count on saying bye to those uninion contracts because from what I'm reading Obama is going to guarantee their benefits like he is guaranting the warranties.

 

Is this a DPF conversation or a political one??

 

Good question.. I for one am here for the diesel, not the US politics..Try the other forum...

 

i'll try it! bring your truck, i'll be home the rest of the week!
