Hello Leland Holton, what year truck? I have a 2021 and 2nd time in the shop for DEF system. I am a small business owner and cannot be down. I put on about 50,000 miles a year and would love to know who did the modified stock tune? Looking for better MPG and less problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I will say this is probably the best Cummins delete video literally there’s no goofing around bs it’s literally everything you need to know and you don’t have to deal with the nonsense
Thanks for representing the reliability and fuel economy guys. We don't all want deleted trucks to roll coal. I would love to do this but I'm in the US.
Up to 90% more particulate matter is a lot for the lifetime of many humans. A few extra MPGs is not worth sacrificing health and quality of life for so many others
@@BenjaminJones-q5i Def is all a scam so your truck won't last as long and you will always be in the shop. The soot is actually heavy and falls to the ground and electric batteries for cars is way worse for the environment the media got you brainwashed
That's a much bigger difference than I ever would have guessed. Some of it may be deleting the exhaust gas recirculation valve,(EGR) and some might be restriction in the DPF. While those parts are off, you might see if it's possible to flow test, clean, or perhaps, just replace it. With the straight pipe exhaust, I could really hear the "whistle" if the turbocharger. The black smoke happens for the same reason, you feel the "snappy" throttle response. With the factory tune, it measures boost pressure, not allowing the injection pump to inject too much fuel, for the amount of air available to burn it. With the aftermarket tune, the pump squirts in the amount of fuel indicated by throttle position, regardless of boost. It smokes, until the turbo has time to "catch up". Don't use an aftermarket tune with the exhaust in place, because it will quickly foul the DPF. Using similar to a factory tune with the delete will eliminate the puff of black smoke, but, the throttle will feel more like stock. (sluggish, by comparison)You will, however, keep the good fuel economy, and the power. For the next experiment, try deleting the EGR, but leave the DPF and SCR in place. While the truck will feel "stock", it might gain the fuel efficiency, and, I think, will actually make the DPF last longer, and regenerate less frequently.
Deleted and tuned my 2016 yesterday and oh my gosh what a difference in power, throttle response, and fuel mileage. Before it averaged 16mpg. On the way into work today it got. 23mpg. I have awoke a sleeping giant.
It would be interesting to find out which delete made the bigger difference and what impact tuning alone would do. Myself, I’d really like to turf the EGR. As for DEF, I see the environmental positives but once my warranty is gone I’m thinking delete that too.
EGR is just the worst idea they ever had. 100% delete that first. What is does is reduce Nitrogen Oxide well there is a far superior way to reduce NOx called Selective Catalytic Reduction with DEF Injection into an SCR CAT. These trucks shouldn't even have EGR and rely 100% or SCR.
I like how you did everything so that I can easily be put back and work when needed. In my area if you register your truck commercial there are no emissions at this point in time. I’ve been buying and driving older trucks just to avoid all the mileage and lack of reliability of emissions equipped trucks as well as I drive stick only. So picking have been slim. This info opens horizons alittle. Thank you.
So crazy. Its getting the same MPG as a 5.9 but with TWICE the HP and torque! The throttle response on stock 68s is so maddeningly frustrating. I love this, ahem, "small modification"!
If you don't do a quick learn on the 68RFE after flashing, you need to keep your foot out of it until the trans relearns. High rates of clutch failures if you pour the coals to it before it learns where the shift timing and line pressures need to be for solid shifts without slip.
I just took my 2021 Ram 2500 Bighorn Crew cab, Cummins, short bed, 500 miles, Round Trip, down to Kentucky and back. I averaged 23 MPG, cruising between 65 to 70 MPH. It is completely stock with 46k miles on it.
Great video! I dont get the view the EPA has on def... Lets put something on trucks that makes them get worse mileage so they have to use more fuel. And then have to put stuff in another tank that will get spilled and has plastic drums they will just throw away and put more plastic in the land fills. Doesn't make any sense to me what so ever.
Government gets tax money off of the diesel you buy as well. Not to mention the cost associated with all the emissions being tacked onto the truck for taxes. It's all about the money while looking like they care for the environment

Good video bro. I did delete to my 2015 3500 6.7 last year and I'm super happy since, I'm making between 24 and 30 miles per gallon @ speed between 60 to 67 mph.
Another interesting point is how long it takes for the delete to pay for itself. If you know the MPG increase after delete, then you can find how many miles it would take to recoup the delete cost.
well its not just about the increased fuel mileage. getting rid of all that emmions stuff will save you money from it being in the shop and having to buy def.
@@nathanperez7559 my truck was in the shop 6 times for particulate filter problems so they finally replaced the whole system. 2 weeks later I deleted it. Best money ever spent. Better response, mpg, and no more $ on DEF.
Exactly why I keep my federal emissions standard 03 Lb7 no cat or EGR from factory banks big hoss bundle six gun,super scoop intake, 4" all the way out. 35" BFG CCLB 20 mpg to Vegas smog legal in CA.
Fantastic video. You brought up a lot of (like minded) points along with pros and cons. I don't want to roll coal, I just want to keep from trashing my engine.
Doesn't your programmer / monitor allow you to adjust the tire size ? The Edge program I had in a previous truck allowed me to change when I did the lift and went up to 38" tires.
5th and 6th are both OD grears. 4th is the highest direct drive. If you're in a long hard pull you should use 4th when you tune these trucks with the 68rfe.
I've always wondered if you were able to do an actual emissions comparison between stock and a deleted truck with a tune set for fuel economy, not to roll coal at every stoplight, and accounting for the increase in fuel milage would the emissions be substantially different? We know the EGR/SCR/DPF setup increases wear and tear on the motor and decreases fuel milage so I wonder if when you account for the increased fuel usage is all of the mandated emissions junk really making that much of a difference on the total emissions per tank of fuel or are the EPA numbers based purely on the instantaneous emissions. Does that make sense?
Getting better fuel mileage increases emissions because you're burning the fuel more efficiently, creating more fumes. Modern cars are a balancing act between good mpg and low emissions. Basically, they lower emissions by passing unburnt fuel through the exhaust. I tuned my gas truck and got better gas mileage. The trade off is that I create more emissions. Not a problem for me because I live in a free state. Another issue is that my o2 sensors and catalytic converter will probably need replaced sooner than usual.
deleted my diesel two weeks ago, you put it just right when you said "its like a wave pushing you". im just running a 65hp tune and the fuel economy is unreal im getting 7-8L/100km.
My company had to delete their Duramax Chevys working on the solar fields with them going 15 mph at the most for days on end they would gunk up. When deleted, their mpg and horsepower went up astronomically. They were fun to drive off the field
Had the same issue for the EGT temps when my 2018 truck was "exhaust modified". The truck needs an EGT probe now. I installed my EGT probe at the back of the exhaust manifold to work with the Edge CTS3. The truck will display 302F as the default temp when it can't read the EGT data anymore from the stock sensors. Great video!!!!
I have the same truck but crew cab, I travel a lot for work and it’s also my work truck, on the highways and interstates in the states here I average about 22mpg at 70-75 MPH, and I haven’t even gotten the delete set up yet. Im excited now.
Remember to measure at the pumps, ECU tunes can program the fuel usage gauge too, if they want to. I am a bit skeptical about the fuel millage, it is within 20% difference of my 4 cylinder stationcar for a truck that is twice the weight, twice the wind resistance and twice the wheel rolling resistance. The throttle response difference can easily be the ECU giving you 20% throttle instead of 15% throttle your foot tells the car to do. It could also be giving you 100% throttle shortly if you press the throttle quickly between 0 to 50%, that would explain the idle smoke. Try and test if the last 10-20% on the throttle pedal even does anything, it could be removed by the ECU.
I have the 2020 Cummins 3500 tradesman.. already drove 140,000miles lol it really does 24mpg with out any delet stock rims and when deleted 29mpgs. On (straight roads) no wind maybe minor
Need help/info, it's been years since I had a diesel last one was on a 99 Ford F250 so I have been educating myself via various videos. I now understand all the new emmision bs that involves deleting. That being said I am in the process of purchasing a 2019 Ram 3500 that has been deleted. It should arrive at my local dealership in the next few days coming from Dallas Tx. Question is knowing that it has been reprogrammed for the delete that was done are there issues when bringing into a dealership for service. If the dealership connects it to their system will it wipe out the delete program, will this cripple the truck? I have a superchip programmer on my 5.7 hemi and I know that I have to return to stock before going in for service. Just need help in understanding Thanks in advance.
I have been your subscriber as i always liked diesels. I was a bit afraid going that route, but finally making up my mind to go diesel. We do about 2 winter trips to the NWT/Yukon and I am hoping i get the truck equipped to fight those extreme temps
I'm really curious if you are allowed to mention where you get your EFI Live tunes from, it seems almost impossible to find someone reputable anymore to do them
What are your thoughts with leaving the exhaust brake on 24/7. I keep my 5th gen Jake brake on all of the time. If nothing else, to reduce wear and tear on my brakes
Check out ATS. They make a BOLT ON kit for the allison transmission for Cummins. No cutting grinding fabrication nothing. Just bolt the bitch on. Cummins Allison unstoppable.
Have you got chance to delete any of the new half ton diesels? I have a 2020 Silverado with the 3.0 duramax. Just curious what it would sound like deleted.
Can you enlighten me on the tune you used, as well as getting around the factory gateway firewall? I manage a government fleet and my scan tools wont even allow me to program my aftermarket tpms sensors..aargh! Great video
Nice channel man, subbed. I actually have a friend who had bought a truck with deletions and added them back on and then processed To make his truck super quiet with more insulation. To each their own, I like the loudness more. He had a charter buiness so he picks up his clients and doesn’t want them to get that trucking feel when bringing them to the docks, but he has a tune on it and said the back pressure is even better with the exhaust plugged up, does this sound right to you guys??

i was gonna say something about the soot coming out but you motioned it ..... no smoke don't give the epa ammunition to screw up our diesels nice truck .... these truck run amazing with no filters .... NO FILTERS NO DEF BLUE WATER ... JUST CLEAN TUNING
Just picked up a 2020 with 94000km, definitely watching what you do with these trucks. Ok so why are we still using DEF when the engine is obviously more efficient without it? Keep it up! Mark @ Mannisto Cay
Good video. I have a 2011 2500 and it came deleted. So unfortunately I have no idea the tune, studs anything except for what I see and don't see. I love how it sounds like a race car! I agree about the smoke with anything newer than a 97 anyway. Sadly my exhaust brake quit and I'm hoping it's a censor or the actuator. I miss it! I'll be upgrading to a fifth gen after someone else puts 200k on it first. Then I can afford it! It'll be my third one.
awesome info, i did the delete . EGR and exhaust. I removed the def tank and cross over brace it sat on. I also installed a banks monster ram intake .

Brother, I have a 2021 ram 2500 6.7 that I am getting deleted/tuned on Friday. The truck has 950 miles on it. I am so ready for the delete but at the same time I am sick to my stomach about my warranty. Uhhhhhhh, I guess the sick feeling will go away when I hear it, and see the mpg increase.
@@tonysketch other than transmission pretty much anything that would go down during warranty is going to be emissions related which most likely warranty won't cover anyway
Great video! I noticed your "check gauges" light is illuminated. Is that permanent because of the delete? Also, do you guys do deletes at your shop? I have a '22 Dodge that I want deleted as soon as possible.
Any word on cracking the code on the Cummins 2022s yet, i have a 3500 farm truck that i regullarly haul heavy loads with and could use a little more power and efficiency with, good and informative video, thanks
That is my dream truck, color, wheels, mega cab and everything. I'd be so afraid to lose warranty though, then again I'll probably never be able to afford one new haha so a used one might be out of warranty anyway
SO models with the 68rfe do a little better mileage over the aisin trans. My 19 w/68rfe absolutely does better mileage than my 2016 both with 35’s. Standard output 5th gens have a much higher compression ratio than previous years, “I’ll take head gaskets for 1000 Alex” lol. Time will tell
I tuned and the lie o meter is wrong. I have been hand calculating from brand new and the mpg from the tune is waaaaay off. It said i was getting 21.9 mpg and it was actually 16 (did a lot of city driving for the re learn). Now I’m at around 19 mixed highway/city whereas before I was at around 15-16. Tuner said that when they mess with timing the mpg calculation gets messed up. So yeah, it gets better, but not crazy better.
Hummm?,,,,,my 2017 Ram HD dual rear wheels, Aisin trans, 4 door, 4x4, one ton dead stock with a light load (aprox 2000lbs total) gets 18-20 mpg on the freeway at 70mph and about 15-16 city driving. Pulling a little trailer weighing 14,000 lbs is effortless but mpg is down to aprox 13-14 on the freeway at 70 mph and with a 25,000 lb gooseneck trailer is about 9 mpg. Truck has lots of power, very high towing capacity with 4.10 gears and is super dependable,,,,I doubt I would bother to do a delete as slow as you guys drive up north because my mpg would be even higher.
Would love to see a before and after on a new duramax. This video makes me want a Ram now. Would you get the aisen or the 68rfe. I like the feel of the 68rfe just unsure of the durability. Can it handle 75 hp tune long term? What about towing? Thanks. Great vid
@@bradyfereday6483 The Aisin is nowhere near as good as an Allison. The Aisin in the first 2 gears is pathetic. If you ever drive unloaded then it's a terrible transmission. Doesn't shift quick through all the gears like the Allison.
@@kernmw10 I have a 19 with it. It is smooth and shifts really well under loads above 20k. I would get an AISIN any day of the week over the Allison. Plus AISIN and Alison share tech.

@@nathanperez7559 my truck was in the shop 6 times for particulate filter problems so they finally replaced the whole system. 2 weeks later I deleted it. Best money ever spent. Better response, mpg, and no more $ on DEF.
Exactly why I keep my federal emissions standard 03 Lb7 no cat or EGR from factory banks big hoss bundle six gun,super scoop intake, 4" all the way out. 35" BFG CCLB 20 mpg to Vegas smog legal in CA.
That thing sounds SWEET.
Fantastic video. You brought up a lot of (like minded) points along with pros and cons. I don't want to roll coal, I just want to keep from trashing my engine.
I'll be looking for a ghost delete for my 2020 Ram 3500. I know the fuel economy would pay for itself pretty quickly
Have you had any luck finding one?
@@usmcgregalunas yeah an outfit in Indiana does it. At least if the rumors are true
@@TruckerMike089 yes, it is true. Shop in Goshen, IN
@@ВсёОбАмерикеИНеТолько good to know thank you
I did my full delete on my Ram 3500 MC Dually truck,wow night and day ,fuel mileage is much better ,my truck sounds amazing now
So exhaust gases are bad for the environment but does the fuel efficiency increase of these deletes offset the difference?
It's because of nox, causes asthma, really bad to breathe in
Doesn't your programmer / monitor allow you to adjust the tire size ? The Edge program I had in a previous truck allowed me to change when I did the lift and went up to 38" tires.
Great video! Answered all of my questions and concerns. In Ontario and considering a delete on my 19 3500 5th gen. I am sold!
This video is at a higher level than in the past. With better content
Sound of the truck on video while driving just sounds like a gas truck with flowmasters
It literally sounds nothing like a gas job
5th and 6th are both OD grears. 4th is the highest direct drive. If you're in a long hard pull you should use 4th when you tune these trucks with the 68rfe.
I've always wondered if you were able to do an actual emissions comparison between stock and a deleted truck with a tune set for fuel economy, not to roll coal at every stoplight, and accounting for the increase in fuel milage would the emissions be substantially different? We know the EGR/SCR/DPF setup increases wear and tear on the motor and decreases fuel milage so I wonder if when you account for the increased fuel usage is all of the mandated emissions junk really making that much of a difference on the total emissions per tank of fuel or are the EPA numbers based purely on the instantaneous emissions. Does that make sense?
Getting better fuel mileage increases emissions because you're burning the fuel more efficiently, creating more fumes. Modern cars are a balancing act between good mpg and low emissions. Basically, they lower emissions by passing unburnt fuel through the exhaust.
I tuned my gas truck and got better gas mileage. The trade off is that I create more emissions. Not a problem for me because I live in a free state. Another issue is that my o2 sensors and catalytic converter will probably need replaced sooner than usual.
deleted my diesel two weeks ago, you put it just right when you said "its like a wave pushing you". im just running a 65hp tune and the fuel economy is unreal im getting 7-8L/100km.
What vehicle?
2018 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel
I miss my 6.7 so much. That's a nice unit my man
My freaking dream truck man
It’s nice to see a straight guy driving these. Thanks for leaving the mirrors down. Nice truck!
My company had to delete their Duramax Chevys working on the solar fields with them going 15 mph at the most for days on end they would gunk up. When deleted, their mpg and horsepower went up astronomically. They were fun to drive off the field
I’m curious if you hand calculated your fuel economy to see if the truck gauge was accurate after the delete?
I have a 2003 LB7, 30%, LBZ Sportsman regulator, stock/S475, 6-speed conversion. Longer gears starting with 1st is very helpful.
Had the same issue for the EGT temps when my 2018 truck was "exhaust modified". The truck needs an EGT probe now. I installed my EGT probe at the back of the exhaust manifold to work with the Edge CTS3. The truck will display 302F as the default temp when it can't read the EGT data anymore from the stock sensors. Great video!!!!
I was going to say the same thing. On my 2017 I had to install their EGT probe to get a reading once the truck was "cleaned up".
I have the same truck but crew cab, I travel a lot for work and it’s also my work truck, on the highways and interstates in the states here I average about 22mpg at 70-75 MPH, and I haven’t even gotten the delete set up yet. Im excited now.
Remember to measure at the pumps, ECU tunes can program the fuel usage gauge too, if they want to.
I am a bit skeptical about the fuel millage, it is within 20% difference of my 4 cylinder stationcar for a truck that is twice the weight, twice the wind resistance and twice the wheel rolling resistance.
The throttle response difference can easily be the ECU giving you 20% throttle instead of 15% throttle your foot tells the car to do.
It could also be giving you 100% throttle shortly if you press the throttle quickly between 0 to 50%, that would explain the idle smoke.
Try and test if the last 10-20% on the throttle pedal even does anything, it could be removed by the ECU.
I always tell guys to measure actual distance per tank. This guy in particular is getting about an extra 250km per tank.
@@darkirondiesel Doesnt that do away with your factory or extended warranty. It looked like you only had 19k miles on it?
I have the 2020 Cummins 3500 tradesman.. already drove 140,000miles lol it really does 24mpg with out any delet stock rims and when deleted 29mpgs. On (straight roads) no wind maybe minor
@@tmonei4597 That's insane
@@tmonei4597 what gears?
Need help/info, it's been years since I had a diesel last one was on a 99 Ford F250 so I have been educating myself via various videos. I now understand all the new emmision bs that involves deleting. That being said I am in the process of purchasing a 2019 Ram 3500 that has been deleted. It should arrive at my local dealership in the next few days coming from Dallas Tx. Question is knowing that it has been reprogrammed for the delete that was done are there issues when bringing into a dealership for service. If the dealership connects it to their system will it wipe out the delete program, will this cripple the truck? I have a superchip programmer on my 5.7 hemi and I know that I have to return to stock before going in for service. Just need help in understanding Thanks in advance.
14k subs wow look at you go ! Been here since like 300 haha
Hey thanks buddy! Appreciate the support 👊🏻
Same
I have been your subscriber as i always liked diesels. I was a bit afraid going that route, but finally making up my mind to go diesel. We do about 2 winter trips to the NWT/Yukon and I am hoping i get the truck equipped to fight those extreme temps
That’s awesome!
Thanks for the video. Can you add a link to all the parts you installed please?
@Caleb Wright lolol
Parts list PLEASE!!
Very informative videos! I just bought a 2017 cummins. I have been told to delete it. So these videos help alot. Thanks
Do it! If you have a 68rfe tranny try not to run tires bigger than 33’s and you’ll be good to go. 👍
Great video from a Duramax owner. I wanna get a Cummins 3500 for my future work truck. Thanks for the great content bro
I just ordered my delete and I'm also getting a tune and I also purchased a ram air intake system with some pipes, looking forward.
Wow sounded pretty bad ass exhust note with the deletes and fuel economy went up and throttle response 😁👍
That's awesome man! My 12v doesn't even get that mileage!
I'm really curious if you are allowed to mention where you get your EFI Live tunes from, it seems almost impossible to find someone reputable anymore to do them
Yea I have a truck needs deleted and can't find anything
Looking for same info
Good video! Thanks for going over that bracket, I have the same one.
What are your thoughts with leaving the exhaust brake on 24/7.
I keep my 5th gen Jake brake on all of the time. If nothing else, to reduce wear and tear on my brakes
I always have mine on
Same
*Great video and information. These really makes me want a diesel truck. Its getting the same mpg as my daily driver sedan.*
Check out ATS. They make a BOLT ON kit for the allison transmission for Cummins. No cutting grinding fabrication nothing. Just bolt the bitch on. Cummins Allison unstoppable.
That would be awesome!
Have you got chance to delete any of the new half ton diesels? I have a 2020 Silverado with the 3.0 duramax. Just curious what it would sound like deleted.
Just bought one aswell I’m curious
Can you enlighten me on the tune you used, as well as getting around the factory gateway firewall? I manage a government fleet and my scan tools wont even allow me to program my aftermarket tpms sensors..aargh! Great video
You need a obd bypass.
I just found your channel SUPER helpful thank you. I wish I could get that exhaust sounds amazing
Nice channel man, subbed. I actually have a friend who had bought a truck with deletions and added them back on and then processed To make his truck super quiet with more insulation. To each their own, I like the loudness more. He had a charter buiness so he picks up his clients and doesn’t want them to get that trucking feel when bringing them to the docks, but he has a tune on it and said the back pressure is even better with the exhaust plugged up, does this sound right to you guys??
ROLLING COAL all day! I can’t wait till I can get this done on my truck
just imagine it with stock tires
I own a 2022 3500 ram ho cummins i havealmost all banks stuff on it except their intercooler. It runs great hope last truck i ever buy. Put pacbrake oil filter relocation due to banks tubs to bigbto remove filter out rt front wheel well.
So I take it, that truck is no longer under warranty ?
i was gonna say something about the soot coming out but you motioned it ..... no smoke don't give the epa ammunition to screw up our diesels
nice truck .... these truck run amazing with no filters .... NO FILTERS NO DEF BLUE WATER ... JUST CLEAN TUNING
Now alll he needs is a true manual drive
Said the non manual drive person
Just picked up a 2020 with 94000km, definitely watching what you do with these trucks. Ok so why are we still using DEF when the engine is obviously more efficient without it? Keep it up! Mark @ Mannisto Cay
Good video. I have a 2011 2500 and it came deleted. So unfortunately I have no idea the tune, studs anything except for what I see and don't see. I love how it sounds like a race car! I agree about the smoke with anything newer than a 97 anyway. Sadly my exhaust brake quit and I'm hoping it's a censor or the actuator. I miss it! I'll be upgrading to a fifth gen after someone else puts 200k on it first. Then I can afford it! It'll be my third one.
awesome info, i did the delete . EGR and exhaust. I removed the def tank and cross over brace it sat on. I also installed a banks monster ram intake . I think i must have left someting unpluged somewhere. I now have a code U0102 4x4 transfer case module not comunicating with ECM. any ideas where i could have left something unplugged ? something close to the work i was doing? thanks for any help. (2019 ram 2500 4x4 6.7 tradesman model)
Awesome video it's great for comparison before and after 👍
God bless you and stay safe in these troubled times 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Best delete video I could find. EPA needs to pull their heads outa their ass with making these trucks run so inefficiently
That is funny. When you made that right turn I knew exactly you were as I live in the next town over to the left of that turn haha. Glad to know you are local as my daughter is looking into getting a diesel and so am I.
Haha that’s awesome
Brother, I have a 2021 ram 2500 6.7 that I am getting deleted/tuned on Friday. The truck has 950 miles on it. I am so ready for the delete but at the same time I am sick to my stomach about my warranty. Uhhhhhhh, I guess the sick feeling will go away when I hear it, and see the mpg increase.
Mee too man, I got 22 thousand miles on mine...I'm sick of 13mpg
@@tonysketch other than transmission pretty much anything that would go down during warranty is going to be emissions related which most likely warranty won't cover anyway
Imagine if the diesels came like this from the factory!!
Wow that was awesome thankyou for sharing . I have a 2021 dodge 2500 6.7 im wanting to do this upgrade . Was this difficult to do ?
Do you have any contacts in Alberta, Edmonton area.
To do deletes?
In-line auto and performance. Good prices and knowledgeable
With the straight pipe, is the cabin pretty quiet still? I feel these trucks are pretty well insulated
Great video question is it Worth putting a cold air intake and a 5 inch exhaust or should I just stick with a 4 in exhaust and no cold air
That’s a good question. I’m interested as well.
I got a s&b cai , i can tell it breaths better , and the turbo wistle is so much louder , kinda like 2nd gens
Great video! I noticed your "check gauges" light is illuminated. Is that permanent because of the delete? Also, do you guys do deletes at your shop? I have a '22 Dodge that I want deleted as soon as possible.
"I'll tweak these tunes..... I mean get them tweaked" lol
Any word on cracking the code on the Cummins 2022s yet, i have a 3500 farm truck that i regullarly haul heavy loads with and could use a little more power and efficiency with, good and informative video, thanks
That is my dream truck, color, wheels, mega cab and everything. I'd be so afraid to lose warranty though, then again I'll probably never be able to afford one new haha so a used one might be out of warranty anyway
You just need a mechanic that has his own shop and they'll help you out. ;)
HOLLLYYYYY MOLLYY 😱 just bought a ram 2021 2500 and now I want to delete 😍😍
yup... me too... its the real version of the truck
SO models with the 68rfe do a little better mileage over the aisin trans. My 19 w/68rfe absolutely does better mileage than my 2016 both with 35’s.
Standard output 5th gens have a much higher compression ratio than previous years, “I’ll take head gaskets for 1000 Alex” lol. Time will tell
Just picked up a 2024 Rebel 2500 yesterday. Cant wait to do a delete on it but better wait for awhile for warranty reasons lol
What does all the parts cost? Pipe, egr plates, tuner, etc.
He wont tell you.
Thanks. It don't hurt to ask.
@@chriscauthen3958 np. You can Google jt
He replied further down in the comments. Roughly what i figured.
He replied to someone else's comment
I tuned and the lie o meter is wrong. I have been hand calculating from brand new and the mpg from the tune is waaaaay off. It said i was getting 21.9 mpg and it was actually 16 (did a lot of city driving for the re learn). Now I’m at around 19 mixed highway/city whereas before I was at around 15-16. Tuner said that when they mess with timing the mpg calculation gets messed up. So yeah, it gets better, but not crazy better.
Ughhh I shouldn’t have watched this... so tempting on my 21. Warranty or awesomeness lol
Awesomeness for sure
Speak to dealers. I’ve heard of very cooperating ones.
Awesome deleted my 2021 already has 500 miles on it
You won't need that warranty if you delete it. These trucks are unbelievable!
I agree with the others my 2019 had parts fall off around 500 miles on the Odo, my dealer honors the warranty.
Hummm?,,,,,my 2017 Ram HD dual rear wheels, Aisin trans, 4 door, 4x4, one ton dead stock with a light load (aprox 2000lbs total) gets 18-20 mpg on the freeway at 70mph and about 15-16 city driving. Pulling a little trailer weighing 14,000 lbs is effortless but mpg is down to aprox 13-14 on the freeway at 70 mph and with a 25,000 lb gooseneck trailer is about 9 mpg. Truck has lots of power, very high towing capacity with 4.10 gears and is super dependable,,,,I doubt I would bother to do a delete as slow as you guys drive up north because my mpg would be even higher.
Would love to see a before and after on a new duramax. This video makes me want a Ram now. Would you get the aisen or the 68rfe. I like the feel of the 68rfe just unsure of the durability. Can it handle 75 hp tune long term? What about towing?
Thanks. Great vid
Just wait on a ram if you are buying one. 2022 you can get the Allison you so love.
Get the AISIN it’s on par or better than Allison now. My 19 with the AISIN pulls like a dream and is smooth under load!
@@bradyfereday6483 The Aisin is nowhere near as good as an Allison. The Aisin in the first 2 gears is pathetic. If you ever drive unloaded then it's a terrible transmission. Doesn't shift quick through all the gears like the Allison.
@@kernmw10 I have a 19 with it. It is smooth and shifts really well under loads above 20k. I would get an AISIN any day of the week over the Allison. Plus AISIN and Alison share tech.
