Will a delete kit void my Ford warranty?

Yes. Any ECU tune or physical delete kit removal (DPF, EGR) voids Ford's powertrain warranty. These modifications are designed for off-road, competition, or agricultural use only. Check your local EPA regulations before proceeding.

Is the BullyDog BDX tuner worth it for a 2011-2012 6.7L?

Yes. The BDX recalibrates fuel timing and boost pressure without modifying your truck physically. You'll see noticeable fuel economy gains, smoother power delivery, and better throttle response. Installation takes 10-15 minutes through your OBD-II port.

What's the difference between EGR and DPF delete?

EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) recycles exhaust back into the intake to reduce emissions—it increases carbon buildup and heat. DPF (diesel particulate filter) traps soot in the exhaust stream—it clogs, forces expensive regens, and kills fuel economy. Both restrict performance; deleting both is the full solution.

Can I install a CCV delete kit myself?

Yes. CCV (crankcase ventilation) delete kits are the easiest mod—most bolt on with basic hand tools in 30 minutes to an hour. You're blocking crankcase gases from entering the intake, which prevents carbon buildup and reduces blowby pressure on seals.

Do I need a full delete bundle or can I do parts separately?

Both work. Full bundles give you everything in one package and usually cost less. Buying separately lets you phase upgrades over time. Either way, make sure each kit is designed specifically for the 2011-2012 6.7L Powerstroke.

What's the best tuner for 2011-2012 Powerstroke—BullyDog or others?

BullyDog is reliable and user-friendly for most owners. Other options include ATS, SCT, and custom tuning shops—they offer more aggressive maps if you're chasing maximum power. Start with BullyDog if you want simplicity; upgrade to custom tuning once you understand your truck's limits.

Will delete kits affect my truck's towing or hauling capacity?

No. Deleting emissions equipment doesn't change structural or powertrain limits. What it does is remove restrictions that make towing harder—cooler running temps, better throttle response, and improved fuel economy under load all make your truck a better hauler.
