It did take a couple of tries to get the delete done. It seemed to freeze partway through. I did the update with the computer and tried it again, with a sceptical mind, thinking I would send it back and get a refund if it gave any problems.
It completed the delete at about the same rate that was said it would take. I installed SOTF, disconnected the 100 connectors on the dpf, and the 3 on the engine, and took it for an easy ride. No problems. The next day, I pulled the egr cooler, no problem. I had bought an inductive heater a while back, so the titanium trouble bolts got heated good, and once I felt movement, I squirted a little water and the bolt released really easily.
The dpf system is a bit intimidating when you work by yourself, but jackstands help.
I found that unbolting th rubber mount brackets from the frame was easiest for me. Ford did a good job of making the downpipe to dpf screws difficult to get to without having a good tool selection and patience. A tool go getter would help, especially if you work from the floor. I removed the dpf and egr cooler, and replaced the pipe in about 8 hours by myself. Taking my time and taking a few breaks. The next morning was spent tying up any connectors and double checking. I went for a short run, then parked it until the next day. I did some errands, came home, checked everything and it was all good. The super dog ran well.
I am happy with the BDX delete. Diesel Dudes answered my many questions before and after I pulled the trigger. If I knew enough folks that wanted this done, I would put my retired **** to work doing some deleting.
Very happy so far. Immediate seat of the pants power feel. As of the few miles I have put on the truck so far, i have noticed approx. 2 mpg increase just around town. I actually am anxious for my next long trip in order to see how that works out.
Great product and tunes so far . My cummins really woke up after the full delete
Thank you for my delete kit. The pickup runs better than it ever has! I am extremely satisfied
The delete was easy and truck runs fine. The trans on the other hand is giving me a fit. I'm on my 3rd different tune and the trans feels awful. I don't drive hard I tow heavy loads more than not. Hopefully I can get it back to how it use to shift
My experience with The Diesel Dudes was exceptional. Their sales team was extremely thorough and answered every little question I had. At no point did I feel like I was wasting their time and they made sure to reassure me of that. Honestly, the customer service at TDD is TOP TIER. Couldn’t for the life of me understand why others haven’t had the same experience. Trust these guys, they know their stuff. Thanks again for all the support, you guys are awesome!
I had no issues with the install. And quality parts. Will definitely order more from the diesel dudes
I have never done a full Dlt myself and only every tuned with tuners. I am a decent ameture mechanic and i was able to get through this entire thing All though the job was kind of a PITA it was worth saving the money over having it done. Definitley would recomend.
Overall the egr delete kit is good. Quality parts and hardware. The instructions were a little lack luster Not being up to date on my 22 ram. It was left over from years prior so bolt sizes and things weren’t exact. Other than that I’m happy and would order again.
Kit came extremely fast and was able to complete install solo in about five hours. Took longer than anticipated due to my OCD. Between the videos online and guidance of printed instructions it’s very straightforward.
Exhaust looks good. Waiting for good weather to install it plus I need to get the downpipe gasket and clamp.
Product arrived on time and to a Hotel I was staying at. Was missing a few things and the bolts were not the right size. Too long for the engine caps. Also was missing the vacuum line cap, which I had to buy separately.
The exhaust parts were all good and arrived separately. The extension pipe was a little too long, and had to cut to fit. But better long than short. Was missing a few nuts for the exhaust assembly as well and the bolts eere were too long. Was able to buy additional nuts and bolts and get everything assembled. Worked great.
Under first load, the EGR cap melted and appeared to be made out of aluminum. DD sent a new cap, but I was able to procure one locally made out of heavy steal, which is working just fine,
The tune went great and without hiccup. Overall very satisfied, but getting all of the correct parts from the start would have been nice!
2012 Ram 3500. I went with the Easylink and 5” with muffler. I found this product thanks to Dark Iron Diesel’s YouTube channel. He walked me through step by step. Once I got it all installed, Im enjoying 20 MPG city and 26 on the highway. Amazing power. My truck sounds and drive the way a diesel truck should.
Great delivery time and I am not a mechanic and completed complete install in 4hours with no issues. I would recommend the full delete kit to friends and family.
Top notch customer service. Great products the ole Cummins is running like a champ
Is good quality and very easy installation
The Full 5” exhaust sounds amazing.
Paired with the EZ LYNK tuner.
Everything worked great and the videos for installation are great. I did not install the exhaust though, had a buddy do it. Tuned myself
Just finished it and it runs great!! More Horse Power and no more def. Thanks again
Finally got around to tuning and DPF delete.
I unplugged the sensors for EGR and throttle postition.
Truck sounds amazing.
Only knock I have is on FedEx delivering.
DieselDudes have a great customer service and team.
EGR kit fits great. Ezlynk was easy and had no codes. Exhaust kit required cutting and the hanger brackets were incorrect and needed to be refabricated. After that truck sounds good and runs well
Exactly what the truck needed, opened it up and acts like a brand new truck and how it should have been from factory
Good products easy to install. EFI live was kinda tricky but it ultimately worked. Shipping was quick
