- Detailed installation video of off-road exhaust pipe and custom tunes for the 6.7 Powerstroke Diesel
FOR OFF-ROAD USE ONLY!
In this video we remove a DPF system from a farm & ranch pickup, showing you just how simple it is to swap out a "race pipe" and install the 100hp ECM/TCM tunes from GDP with the EZ Lynk Auto Agent programmer.
This pickup has a drop-in filter, leveling kit, 37" tires, and was getting just over 13mpg prior to the DPF delete and tune install. The first full tank of fuel netted almost 20mpg!

Have y'all deleted your diesel pickup? If so, what was your mpg gain?
19 ram 23mpg
18 towing
Went from 13.5mpg to 15.5mpg on my 2019 f250 with 37s. Definitely not a 50% increase by any means, but still better
@jessyfew9631
Not towing very much for 18mpg
I’m not saying it’s much or through the hills of Pennsylvania. But from Frederick md to ocean city md. Almost 4 hours I pulled my 8,800 empty camper….hand calculated 17.8 truck said 18.7
2500 ram 2015 6 speed 4wd. 23 mpg
Great video and insight...helped a few local farmers out too, feom reference vids such as this one...
Thanks for watching! Happy to help some farmers make their pickups more efficient
Have a 2020 3.0 powerstroke and now it’s deleted. Best decision ever
Yessir!
I’ve got a 3.2 powerstroke in my Transit work truck I’m trying to delete, where did you get your tunes from for your 3.0
@@hadiquddoos I got my tunes from AMPD, they work great on 3.0 PS and 6.7 PS. AT first, I had a loopy idle for 3.0 during restarts but fixed it with an update; had the tunes for about 3 years. I run mostly +60 HP tune.
What was your mpg gain?
@@abc-ed1nr Stock was getting about 23 - 24 mpg. After the tune about 32.
The 2007+ MY diesel emission systems are insanely stupid and do not reduce emissions significantly. Here is the other dirty little secret: Go look at the typical 2007+ MY diesel ambulance or fire dept. vehicle. Nearly all of them have the DPF deleted. Why? Because those trucks' duty cycle requires them to idle for extended periods and that will easily foul the DPF. Emergency vehicles can't afford to go into "limp mode" or shut down in the middle of an emergency, so most emergency agencies (quietly) delete the DPF and other trouble-prone emission components. If the feds start going after vehicle owners for deleting emission systems, they will find tons of local, state, and federal emergency agencies are top "offenders."
Great points!
Have a look at the us military vehicles, there are genuine parts on there with part numbers from factory with no dpf gets a bit frustrating to be a average Jo
Iv got a 22 F250 in Australia been looking for inspiration around the place to get the job done …
Great Job! Emissions are a scam. 1st corn juice you can't burn, now cat pee in your diesel ??? keep up the good work. There is a younger generation that will need this knowledge
Agreed! DPF delete for the diesels and E85 for the cast cars!
Don’t forget, people!
After tuning your truck, it can take up to a week for your ecm to get back to “knowing how you drive” to give proper fuel economy as well as gives time for all the carbon buildup to be burnt out. 🤘🏽
It definitely gets better after more miles. You’re right, both the ecm & tcm need time to relearn. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2011 f350 6.7 non delete with 353,000+ miles and no problems, and yes I am also a farmer using my truck hauling livestock, hay, car carriers, wagons, groceries.. I'm averaging 13-18 mpg and that's mostly hills and mountains
Ford built a terrific engine with the 6.7 and it definitely does not have to be deleted. However, it runs so much better breathing freely. Watch the turbo oil line, on my '12 6.7 I would get oil in the valley during cold months. It's something Ford later fixed but can cause issues.
I love my farm truck!
The best!
Nice video. Keep helping out the farmers, they are the blood & sweat of out whole country! #FEPA #FJB 👍🏻👌🏻🚜🌾🌽🛢️
Man, that sounds so good! I love it! I gotta get one of these 6.7's someday soon. Still rocking the ol 7.3 w\ a zf6! Diesel for life! Glad that truck can breathe easier now. You better watch your back with this stuff, 'they' don't like this so much anymore..... Unless you're off road in Mexico or Canada! Keep doing what you do tho man, we need more of this around nowadays!
Hopefully this video helps some people interested in doing this. The sound alone is worth it! That 7.3 is a pickup to envy. Thanks for watching!
@tdotw77 keep that 7.3. I have a 99 f450..love it. My 6.7 is a picky fuel bitch. My 12 valve cummins will take any old diesel u throw at it! Not running 20k+ psi that's y! Keep it old school..less bs
I tell my customers to do this as soon as their warranty is up. As long as you aren’t in a epa gestapo state.
Yessir! Let it breathe
So what’s the deal on Emissions? I’m looking at 2014 Ram 3500, that has been deleted, I live in Colorado, and some areas (mainly the city’s) but in Weld county, it’s not got emissions, which I have a map of the emissions areas, If I were to purchase the truck,
What kind of inspection should I expect?
Unless I had my own army and air force, I would save all that old stuff, and seal the wiring on the vehicle with plastic bags to keep water & dirt from getting inside them. You never know what the future might bring.
The dummy ends I was referring to in the video are a clean & easy way to keep them clean for future use. I just didn’t have them at the time of filming. Thanks for watching
take your new truck from unreliable to reliable by deleting all that EPA garbage which is actually worse for the environment than a deleted truck, They just dont test for those emissions caused by DEF.
So true!
I don't know how true this is but I heard their is evidence popping up linking Def to the Death of wild life along the side of highways along with that I think John dere isn't using Def for the 2025 models according to another commenter I could be wrong
I honestly belive if we want to lower emission output in today's cars efficiently burning the fuel is a good idea it is why I think speed of air gas something if it works soot Is Sunburnt feel what if we were to use less fuel and make a set of pistons like speed of air that keep the fuel close to the heat to completely burn the fuel wouldn't that be smarter then creating something like for say a D.P.F. and a handful of other expensive parts that will break and cost a fortune to either fix or replace
They put the DEF crap on farm equipment now it’s called communism
Playing with fire. Good luck bud.
This actually is a farm/ranch pickup. Video is for educational purposes only
Why do you say he is playing with fire?
@@hlspraying7614 epa chasing individuals down for doing this these days
@@hlspraying7614 a tree hugging democrat
The supreme court has just ruled that any rules enacted by beraurocarat are not laws they were not legislated thru congress so they are void
With the new decision from the supreme cour they said the epa cannot enforce rules that were not legislated into law
That is promising!
I've been watching videos on weight reduction other people have been unplugging the EGR. Is that required or just personal preference?
With these tunes, the EGR is shut off so no need to unplug anything. Super simple!
Thanks for watching!
You can also run off road diesel fuel as well since you're on the farm...
I sure wish it was an option for highway use. Much better for engines and the wallet
@@tonysprojectgarage There is no difference today between off-road diesel fuel and highway diesel fuel except the red dye in the off-road diesel. Off-road diesel used to be allowed higher sulfur content, but that ended about a decade ago.
Less tax is the only difference I'm aware of, at least in TN
I have a check engine light for the "reluctant def fuel line heater" will that code disappear after I delete and run easy link tune?
Yes, you’ll clear codes with the EZLynk and the non-emissions present tune will turn off anything related to the DPF/EGR
Great video man, where do you order the pipes and all? Also, I’m unfamiliar with the tuning aspect. Does the ez link come with the tunes? Or I’ve heard someone has to program it or something. Any feedback would help a lot. Got a 2017 king ranch looking to make it a farm truck.😉
I don’t have links, unfortunately. A google search will yield multiple exhaust pipe options between $250-$400 depending on material. For the tunes, you get the EZLynk and then purchase a “support pack” with all the tunes accessible through the cloud. When you have it set up, it’s a fast and easy download to select any of the tunes you want to load into the truck. Very simple and straight forward.
Thanks for watching!
Like the vids one question where did you get the front bumper thanks
That is from Ranch Hand. It is the full bumper replacement and is as solid and well built as I've ever seen. Highly recommend this one if you're looking to add to your pickup. Here is a link
amzn.to/4buJ652
Thanks for watching!
@@tonysprojectgarage The Ranch Hand is a great bumper, however, the are very heavy. Even on a 3/4 or 1-ton truck, adding the full Ranch Hand bumper may require beefing up the front springs. I had to do that on my Super Duty.
Great video! My 7.3 was tuned but havn't done anything to my 2015 6.7. how hard is it to put the tune back to stock?
thanks,
~jw
Putting the tune back to stock takes about the same amount of time as you saw for me to load the 100HP tune. The EZLynk stores the stock tune so you can switch back easily
Great video! Was that 4” pipe? Sounds great!
Thank you! It sounds even better in person. This is the 4” race pipe
for my 2022 6.7 would i need a different ecm or can i just use a easylink
I think you can send your ECU off to be flashed or use an EZLynk, but I have only done '18 & '19's. Check out www.youtube.com/@coltsway he has a video on the '20+ and could help you out with what you need
Thanks for watching
Great content and work!! Questions:
1. I may have missed, but what about the EGR and other Gov Crap in the engine bay?
2. Does the programmer deal with the communications and signals from the main computer?
I appreciate that! The tune turns it all off so you don’t have to mess with clips or block-off plates, etc.
Yes, the tuner handles everything after you load that TCM/ECM file of your choosing
Super simple!
Have had many diesels and programmers. All have been Duramax. Going to look at used 6.7s and Duramaxes.
Thanks and God Bless!!
I wouldn't mess with the engine compartment at all. Sometimes they raise the hood, even in states like Louisiana where they don't do emission exhaust testing except in a few counties, just to see if anything has been changed or modified from the stock set up. They did that to me one time.
Another problem might be a dealer not being able to repair a vehicle which has been modified. I would keep that in mind, especially while the vehicle is still in warranty. I would keep those very expensive parts, and protect the wiring and connectors under the vehicle. You never know what the future may be like. Crazy laws could be passed.
Can you recommend any other tuners besides GDP ? & Why do you use GDM ? TIA good video
There are a few other companies but I’ve only ever used the GDP/EZLynk combo so I can’t recommend any others. I will say the GDP tunes/updates/support are amazing and I’ve never had an issue, which is why I’ve never looked at other options. Thanks for watching
Have you done a 2020 or newer gmc/ chevy L5p w/ 10 spd trans ?
I’ve actually only ever done ‘18 & ‘19 Ford Powerstroke pickups. The pipe should be similar but I believe tuning requires removing the computer and mailing it off. You may find a video of someone doing it here. Thanks for watching!
Hey there, I'm new to diesel quick question? What brand of diesel additive would you recommend? If I go ahead amd reduce weight to my truck. Does the tuner that comes with kit have to stay connected to the obdIi plug?
Great question! I use this Lucas Oil Fuel Treatment and have been happy. There is a noticeable fuel mileage increase. The tuner does not have to stay plugged in after you install the tune but you can run the bluetooth app and display all of the temperatures/pressures on your phone if it is plugged in.
Here is the fuel treatment link
amzn.to/3zxdZbe
@@tonysprojectgarage wow you are great, thanks for the response.
Can you post a link to parts or model numbers of what you ordered for your Farm Truck?
I don’t want to get anyone into trouble so best bet is search “powerstroke delete pipe” and you’ll see options between $200-$400 depending on the material. I’ve always used stainless steel pipes but you can save a few bucks with the others.
As for tuner, you’ll search Auto Agent EZ Lynk for Powerstroke and likely have to email the company selling to speak about the support package with tunes for no emissions.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Tony
Only thing I gained when I did my old LML was glorious sound, absolutely zero difference in fuel economy.
The sound alone is worth it
My 2022 RAM only has 25000 miles on it and already has emission problems .Farm truck here we come.
Who was the tuner? I have PPEI and am looking to try something different for my off-road truck
GDP Tunes. I’ve now installed this pipe & GDP tunes on 3 different 2018 & 2019 Powerstrokes and they’ve been flawless. One with switch on the fly and two with single tune. I prefer the single tune. Just load the 100hp tune and it’s perfect for daily driving or towing in our experience
Did you have to uprgarde the cold charge pipe.. Keep hearing they will not last after rhe delete
Never had an issue
@@tonysprojectgarage Have you heard of them busting ?
I’ve seen some tear online but maybe since I never go WOT it’s never been an issue in one I’ve owned or driven
Where did you find the parts
I don’t want to put that out because the companies could get in trouble but you can find the pipe with a quick google search and send some diesel parts retailers an email to see who will sell the tuner. Especially Canadian shops
This is a 20-21 model? Need my 22 done but need a 21 ecm
This is an '18 so thankfully I didn't have to send off the ecm, that's annoying with the newer pickups
Just curious why more people dont do this? I have never been checked when pulled over so how would anyone know? I haven't done this but i want to.
I think it’s the availability of parts and the fact that a diesel shop can’t do it for a customer so you have to do the install yourself. That’s why I made the video, to help people who want to delete/tune but don’t want to mess something up
More so a problem when getting your vehicle inspected for your registration sticker. If you are in a state they don’t inspect? Slim chance of problems.
Most people aren’t keeping them on the farm
Honest question, what if you travel to other states where they check more often?
where did you get the equipment from?
Can’t say but a google search will get you in touch with companies that sell. Email them
I think with forscan you can calibrate for 37"tires
I’ve heard conflicting arguments but it’s worth me getting Forscan to mess with tire size and other settings for videos
This is great but you can’t go to California Texas Oklahoma Missouri or 30 other states the fines are astronomical experience
Be the change you want to see in the world
Good thing Im a farmer..lol !
My sentiment exactly!
I swear it’s like night and day with a truck that’s tuned right a 6.7 power stroke will throw you back in the seat
The difference is unreal!
I need my 2019 ranch truck done, let me go visit you, where you at?
I can’t do that but this video should make it a simple swap for ya!
Do a delete you do not gain hardly any mileage other than you don’t have the upkeep or the maintaining the the smog device trust me I did it. I loved it, but I didn’t gain mileage.
That’s odd. Last 3 have all picked up significant mpg. Either way, even with no mpg gain, this is so much better for the engine. Thanks for watching!
@@tonysprojectgarage I totally agree, but I didn’t gain any mileage
You possibly did not have a good quality tune
@@cgc86crock had ezlynk but I had a tune where we didn’t have any smoke because we live in California
I would say yes delete it but mph maybe 1/3 more max
That seems to be the increase for mixed city & highway driving. Definitely worth it!
The tune is the “delete”
For the EGR, yes. But you still need to swap the pipe for everything to work properly
