Anyone else done this? My work truck is an 08, almost 100K on it. Been getting real doggy, no power, very bad mileage. Most days it spends at least 1/2 of my driving time cleaning the exhaust filter. So I talked the boss into doing a DPF delete, cost was about $1,100. The truck is a whole new beast now, throttle response is way crisper, power is beyond what it was brand new, exhaust not is mean. The tuner that he used has four power settings, from stock to 120hp gain (funny it doesn't list the torque gains, just hp). On the "hot" setting, it is an animal, but I'm gonna put it back on stock 'cause I am to hard on tires as it is, and I also do a lot of heavy hauling with it (no way to moniter EGT's). The tuner was called the XRT from hsperformance.

This is the tuner, very simple to use, but no shift on the fly. You have to plug it in to change the tune.
So far, very impressed with the results of the DPF delete. Haven't driven it enough to see what kind of mileage gains, but I've been told it should get substantially better. The truck weighs about 10k, I was only getting about 12 mpg before the filter got plugged up. After, I was getting aroung 7-8. I'm hoping to see at least 18 now, tommorrow is the first day I'll be able to start tracking it. These mileage numbers are figured, not going by the lie meter on the dash (although it seemed to be pretty accurate).
One other funny thing, the truck don't start itself at the touch of the key now. You have to hold the key to start posistion just like any other vehicle.
Anyone else done this? Any thoughts?
