Have 13 6.7 Ram 3500. Drove it from the dealership to the diesel performance shop had the deletes done with programer and straight pipe installed(left muffler in line). Never once has it let me down. Better mileage, performance, and the guys at the lube shop say every time that it has the cleanest oil in any diesel they have ever seen.
forgot it has 99,000 miles and some change on it now. What in the world do you do that has you driving over 100 miles a day?

I've had months were I've driven 4000-5000 miles. I'd say only about 1/3 of that was commuting around town for work and such. Now that my business is about to get going I am expecting that I will end up driving even more than that every month. So 100 or so miles a day doesn't sound so bad to me.

I am in the oil and gas business, so I run all over the state. Plus my extra curricular activities of precious metal performance testing on live specimens, creates the need to go and locate test subjects virtually all over the state.......

That estimate is assuming he drives over 100 miles a day 365 days a year, it would be closer to 200 miles per day if he only worked 240 days a year.

Home to office is 80 miles round trip about 250 days a year I guess. And rarely do I just go to the office, drive to San Antonio from Rockport often, as well as to Marble falls. Drove from Corpus to Odessa last week, and to Tulsa the week before. Got to pay them bills.

I have the infamous f350 7.3. I love it and have not done anything to the motor or components. Would any of you powerstroke lovers suggest that I do this to my truck? I have three. I won't ever drive another truck. About the only thing you need to do is replace the stock air filter with the extreme duty air filter. It will turn your 500,000 mile engine into a 1,000,000 mile engine if you do it early enuff.

EGR is what dirty's the oil, not DPF. On our 6.7 cummins all you had to do was unplug the egr and oil will stay clean for 10x as long. Soot from EGR is the enemy of longevity, DPF is the enemy of fuel economy. Exhaust emission delete is not worth it to most people, but it will pay off for some. I read all the posts, and will respond to some, the 68RFE trans behind most of the 6.7 cummins are garbage and hardly capable of keeping up with a stock 6.7. EGR is the killer on 6.0 Powerstroke, have yet to see an EGR deleted 6.0 blow headgaskets after the EGR delete and using a moderate tune. If you could separate emissions delete from performance tuning for the uneducated public it woule become more feasible. Most associate delete tuning with performance tuning.

If you could separate emissions delete from performance tuning for the uneducated public it woule become more feasible. Most associate delete tuning with performance tuning. The EGR (exhaust gas recycle) does has some effect on carbon saturation deleting it will take additional heat ond pressure off the engine. The DPF is only a chunk of material with a few sensors on it that have sophisticated filtering systems in it. The programming that regenerates the DPF is the killer of diesel engines, the regen mode actuates the injectors on the exhaust stroke WHICH WILL CONTAMINATE YOUR MOTOR OIL because diesel will get by the pistons and gets into the block of the engine. Deleting the DPF is just as important if not more important than the EGR.

So dpf regen should cause raw fuel dilution of the crank case oil?
