By far the most informative video I have found. Everyone else just says unplug everything and put the pipe in which was not enough detail for me, so thank you.
Jon Ganzer, thanks so much for this video. I did my 14’ 6.7 about a month ago, and your video really made it easy. The biggest takeaway was not fighting with the welded bolts. You also do a great job with identifying sensors. With that, my 14’ had at least 10. That was by far the hardest part. That or getting the downpipe flange secured. That was a challenge with the tools I have. Great video though. Thanks again!
Hey John, just completed my delete on my 2011 F250. I replaced the DPF with a ProFlo SS delete pipe and programmed it with the Punchit programmer. Took me about 1 1/2 hours to do everything in my garage thanks to your video. I referred back to your video several times which made everything so easy.. Thanks again...
Jon, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. I haven"t the delete on my 2016 Super Duty as of yet but this video will definitely save me some headaches. Thanks Paul
Hi Ryan, I did delete the EGR and install an AFE airbox. As far as tuners, I already owned the SCT, and had tuned my 2005 6.0 with it. I was able to re-install the stock tune on the 2005 before I sold it, update the SCT to current specs (there was something like 168 updates available, which I was able to download for free from SCT) which made it compatible with the 2011 6.7. For free. So now I had an interface with the truck, and I just needed tunes in a file format that the SCT device would understand. I called a couple of places, but Bill at Sinister Diesel seemed to really know what he was talking about. They offer 1 tune for $150, four for $500. The "Load First" tune is included at no charge. These are just software (files) that I retreived via email, and then used the SCT software to load on to the SCT device. Long answer, but the important thing is that I don't have any experience with the Spartan. I would say the four tunes (Tow, Street, Performance, and Extreme) are, or follow closely, Bully Dog tunes, which are just re-sold by Sinister. I've installed each. If you look at dyno charts for these tunes, (available on line) the first three make more power and torque above 2,000 rpm, but the differences are marginal and the profiles are almost identical. Each of those increased my fuel mileage from around 14.5 to around 16. Disappointing. I was a little concerned about the Extreme tune (I am, after all, an ex-6.0 owner) but when I saw that the Bully Dog Extreme torque profile was just a "Street" tune from H&S, whose Extreme profile adds another 150 foot pounds, I figured it was safe. The Bully Dog Extreme torque curve does not follow the profile of the other three tunes, in that it delivers a LOT more torque a LOT earlier (like 100 ft/lbs more at 1500 rpm). At first, I was a little careful with the throttle - and in the first couple hundred miles, I was actually averaging over 21 mpg! At this point (about 700 miles on this tune now) I have reverted to my normal get-out-of-my-way driving style and the mileage has settled around 20. That is really a GOOD thing.
***** Thanks for the reply - nice to know I helped some folks out. Before I did my delete, I really couldn't find anything that covered all the details, so I figured it might help if I shared the experience.
Jon, just wanted to take a moment to thank you, my dpf system is giving me problems but I didn't want to make my truck louder or blow smoke. You literally answered all my questions, thanks again! 👌
Absolutely amazing video! About to take off the dpf on a 2016 and take it to a shop to get it cleaned and reinstall. Exact same dpf, all cables and connections I need to undo. And great tips!! Saved me hours and headaches! Can’t thank you enough!
Excellent, excellent video! Easy to follow, excellent instructions. You should be an instructor! You tell it in a manner that is easy to understand and follow. A lot of videos, guys talk to fast and are interested in just telling the information. But you talk in a manner that I can follow. Thanks alot for the video!
Bro, great video. I will do this as soon as the warranty is out on my new 2019 6.7 Lariat. thank you for taking the time to put this together. Supper funny about the welded nuts :)
MrDacaimmel Thanks Mr. D, There didn't seem to be a lot of useful info on TH-cam when I was scheduling my job, so I thought I might help out by contributing.
Thanks for the video man. I used this today when doing mine and it helped a lot. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to get the dpf injector thing off. Took my wife and me about 6-7 hours to get it out and put the replacement pipe in, but I’m a weakling, so....
great video, that helped a lot! I wish instructions were that helpful. The one thing ill add for anyone else who sees this, i have a 2013 and it has an extra o2 sensor at the front and two hoses at the back that can be disconnected easiest, i thought, next to the hanger. Thanks for the video.
It took me about four hours, but I was not in a rush and I was not familiar with all of the connections (which is why I made this video). The truck makes a LOT more power in Extreme tune, and the fuel mileage has increased about 30%. It also puffs black smoke - not a lot - at more than 1/3 throttle, which I don't like.
Jon Ganzer any truck is gonna coal with no emissions on it. Dumping all that diesel in flooring it the trucks not gonna be able to burn it all right awau
Thomas Slocumb Not yet!!! Because I live in the middle of the pacific Hawaii, we have a waaaay harder time getting our good and they kill us with the shipping! Still planning it though just need some time.
Ah, right. The program (tune) is actually written to the trucks computer, so even if the battery died or you completely disconnected the computer, the tune does not go away. It's just like your home computer - you can unplug it, and disconnect everything, but when you connect it all back up and plug it in, everything is still there. To get the latest info, do a Google search for "diesel truck tuner" or "diesel truck tunes".
It really is a shame you have to go through all this crap just to get the truck to be reliable. I was thinking of getting one of the newer diesels but having seen all the issues with all the new emissions crap the Government is forcing upon them I am thinking the 6.2 gas will be better for my needs. Good luck with your truck.
Great video. Did my dpf delete today. Used a mini maxx tuner. Had to turn off defuel function because of inaccurate pyro readings. Other than that it runs great. Thanks for the video.
Yes they do suck. Sorry no video. I had to google a couple of things. Key has to be on to program. You have to disable Pyro gas temp if you do not have means of measuring. I did not delete EGR and the pyro was putting mine in defuel mode. After I disabled this it ran great.
Thanks so much for the video! Best DPF video by far! Thanks god:) So down to the questions Did you end up deleting the EgR as well? And if not, why not? And if so do you happen to have a video on that? Thanks again sir
"i spent 20 minutes Hammering on deez nuts here...." 🤣 Best part of the video! @jonganzer7478 felt like you were laughing with me at the same thing the way you giggled through the next few sentences lol. Good stuff. 👍
Great comment about not wanting to “roll coal”. I’m guessing it’s the EGR delete that creates the black smoke? I have no desire to bellow a black cloud everywhere. Very informative vid... thank you!
Hi James, Removing the EGR and DPF increases the exhaust particulates, but some guys then install a very rich tune, which creates a lot of black smoke when they accelerate.
DEF connection is actually very easy to remove. Push the hose connection down before squeezing. Don't even have to squeeze it that hard if you push it down.
Great job Jon. I'm in the process of acquiring the programmer and at the same time installing a Amsoil by-pass oil filtration system. This will allow me extended synthetic oil drains. I've used the same system on two other diesels I've owned with proven results.
Removed the monstrosity yesterday. DId not have the hanger pliers - no tool suppliers had any either. So, I simply unscrewed the hanger hardware from the left frame rail (8 nuts) and pulled the monster out with the hangers still on the monster. Piece o cake getting the single rubber hanger off the monster, and onto the truck. BTW what the heck is that round black tube for?? Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for the vid. Very informative. Did you delete the EGR? How would you compare the SCT tuner with say the Spartan? Do you mind me asking what you paid for tuner and custom tunes?
Torch works good but people seem to heat the bolt instead of the nut or where the threads are. Your trying to expand the hole the bolt is in not the bolt its self
approx how long did the entire process take you. Didn't seem to difficult, but more tedious. Also, have you done any significant towing with this set up? Of course tunes will have an impact on this, but what have you noticed most? Throttle response..lower egts..?
Well, this stuff is recreation for me, so I take my time with it, slow and careful. Do it once, do it right and all that stuff. Probably a good six hour Saturday. The thing you notice most is the power differences in all the different tunes. Once everything's installed its easy to change the tune, so I probably tried 5 or 6. The crazy power ones are fun but make me worry more about the drive line and engine life, they're that strong.
nice. Paying thousands of hard earned dollars for the truck and paying again for removing it. What a great idea they have us to. I understand emissions but they are killing engines and on top of that dpf filters needs to be replaced another great idea that cost $2000. I rather stay with my 99 ford with 7.3 v8 diesel with no egr.
Tahoe0512 Nice we have a 2006 Duramax none of that EPA stuff too 2007 was the last year they were able to produce without all that Stuff 7.3 is awesome would never touch a 6.0 or 6.4 might try the 6.7 cause eventually all these old trucks will be gone
DEF systems don't kill engines. . . LOL! They barely if at all hinder any performance. Your literally just spraying some def into your exhaust as it passes through a light filter. There is very little back pressure and what is produces is actually good for the engine. People just hate it cuz its extra parts. Oh nooo you got to buy DEF. Oh nooo once every once in a while you got to change out the screen on your doser. awwww. Get over it lol.
xxpr0nag3xx read California report on diesel emission control.....CARB admit that dpf, def, egr on diesel engines cause damage... even catastrophic..... reduce fuel mileage, raise engine temps, reduce oil life, and dpf regens release the pollution anyways
xxpr0nag3xx ok troll first off..light filter? did you not just witness that 7ft bomb of filters that he removed..the filter is so restrictive it cloggs and has to be burnt out...are you dense? have you not wondered why older diesels with no emissions crap on them get better fuel economy? ..no one is complaining out buying g Def fluid you twat..we're complaining about paying 6grand to replace one of these filters when they get so clogged you need a new one and the restraint it puts on performance....back pressure??? lol it's a diesel funny how all performance diesels run a stack straight off the turbo out the hood..not much back pressure on that..I would say.....go home
I pull one boxes out of Freightliners all the time. I have seen the inside of them quite often. There is barely any restriction. Even the SCR system isnt that restrictive. And yes, you need back pressure for proper performance.
What about the rubber hoses connected to the dpf. What are they for because there are about 4-5 maybe on it. The plugs are undone all i lack now is the hoses and brackets.
This was a fantastic video, great job! I just bought a 2016 and have been researching ways to do a delete. I have the same motor but it's on a 350 dually. Did you end up getting rid of anything under the hood to clean things up after you did this or was it just all underneath? I will probably look to get this done on mine the minute it's out of warranty but it's so tempting to just do it now after the first oil change. lol
+Rule 44 Also, forgot to add that I live in a county in Indiana that doesn't Emission test and I'm not commercial so there is no way I'll get checked out on this unless down the road I sell.
Very informative! Thanks for taking the time. The welded nuts would have been sure to fool me too! Btw what rims do you have on your truck? I only caught a glimpse but looks like machined black? And Terra grappler? How do you like those?
how important is it to unplug that 3rd connection.orange throttle plate plug.i have been running for over a month now with just the 2 plugs on the cooler out and that's it.truck runs fine and really strong and no engine lights or nuthing.
what did you do with the other end of all of the plugs? Bag them and tie them up? Just curious? Also why did you decide to just do the delete and tune rather than the complete system with the Blocks? Are you planning on reinstalling it at some point? Thats what I would have to do as I live in a state that has emission checks.
ADK Alpi Hey Buddy, My truck has 100,000 miles, out of warranty. But I did keep all the parts in storage just in case I need an emission inspection and it doesn't pass.
Emissions equipment is only under warranty until 50k miles. It's in the fine print. Just found out and I was pissed. If the emissions stuff fails and takes out the engine between the 50 and 100k mark, you're not covered because the failure was not under warranty. It's BS and I didn't know when I bought my truck.
so i need to buy a sct tuner then buy dpf delete tunes? where and how do you get the tunes onto the sct? also what happens if battery dies on truck? do u lose everything?
Well, there are several tuners that will work with this truck - SCT has a good background with Fords, and would be a good choice. The tuner, or "programmer" downloads updated software to the computer in your car or truck - kind of like different versions of Windows. Windows XP and Windows 8 will both load on your home computer and allow it to run, but the computer will behave very differently with the different operating systems. You can buy different tunes for your particular truck online - just do a search - the tunes are downloaded or emailed to you as files. When you plug your tuner into the computer you used to download your tuning files, (using an interface cable) you can transfer the files (tunes) to your tuner. Hope that helps.
Jon Ganzer thank you so much. What happens if your truck battery dies. Do you need to put the delete tunes back in? Also what website sells the downloads?
Well, you don't need an SCT - there are other tuners available, but SCT seems to have a good handle on the Ford vehicles. You can google "Diesel Tunes", and several different manufacturers will come up. They sell you files that can be loaded to your device, so be sure they are compatible.

Quick question, what did you do with your DEF tank? I've heard people are filling the tanks and leaving them full so not to crystalize.
I love the way you teach. Please make more videos on anything.
Very helpful, saved a lot of time in removal to see this ahead of time. Front bolt next to frame was the hardest part.
Jon, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. I haven"t the delete on my 2016 Super Duty as of yet but this video will definitely save me some headaches. Thanks Paul
This is the best 6.7 dpf delete video online. Thanks.
The bracket removal tool was a life saver. Thank you 🙇♂️
Cracked me up about the welded flange nuts. Great video!
Banging on deez nuts
Hi Ryan,
I did delete the EGR and install an AFE airbox.
As far as tuners, I already owned the SCT, and had tuned my 2005 6.0 with it. I was able to re-install the stock tune on the 2005 before I sold it, update the SCT to current specs (there was something like 168 updates available, which I was able to download for free from SCT) which made it compatible with the 2011 6.7.

Is there any chance you can send me the tune file you used for your truck?
What a terrific video with insightful commentary.
Jon, just wanted to take a moment to thank you, my dpf system is giving me problems but I didn't want to make my truck louder or blow smoke. You literally answered all my questions, thanks again! 👌
Absolutely amazing video! About to take off the dpf on a 2016 and take it to a shop to get it cleaned and reinstall. Exact same dpf, all cables and connections I need to undo. And great tips!! Saved me hours and headaches! Can’t thank you enough!

A lot of videos, guys talk to fast and are interested in just telling the information. But you talk in a manner that I can follow. Thanks alot for the video!
Thanks, Rodnie. I AM an instructor. How'd you know? :o)
I did this job Saturday. Your video was great. I referred to it several times when it came to unplugging all of the sensors on the DPF.
If you’re still on this account on TH-cam, wondering how your truck is doing after this time with the delete? Any big problems?
@@bradytonne908 I sold it a year ago. It was running great at the time but haven’t seen it since.
Bro, great video. I will do this as soon as the warranty is out on my new 2019 6.7 Lariat. thank you for taking the time to put this together. Supper funny about the welded nuts :)
Super information! Thanks for all the tips, I using a different tuner H&S but all the removal tips are a big help. Thanks again
MrDacaimmel
Thanks Mr. D,
There didn't seem to be a lot of useful info on TH-cam when I was scheduling my job, so I thought I might help out by contributing.
Thanks bro, that connector with the red tab had me stumped. Thank you and thank youtube!
This is a very good video. I’m doing dpf delete on my 2016 f350 and this makes everything so much easier.
I wish all instruction videos were done this Good awesome job
Thanks just waiting till I'm done with California then I'm deleting. Great vids
Your video is extremely informative and I am also looking for a stainless 5" exhaust pipe and maybe a muffler. I also love the sound of a diesel.
The details you give are excellent. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
My friend, wonderful video. So informative and helpful prior to adding my first high flow dpf system. I feel more comfortable
Great video bro..probably prevented a lot of people headaches taking on the same task.
Nice job with this video. They aren't easy to do, I know.
You should consider doing another.
Thanks for the video man. I used this today when doing mine and it helped a lot. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to get the dpf injector thing off. Took my wife and me about 6-7 hours to get it out and put the replacement pipe in, but I’m a weakling, so....

Thanks Jon ganzer, perfect video and very good details , made my job very easy.
It took me about four hours, but I was not in a rush and I was not familiar with all of the connections (which is why I made this video). The truck makes a LOT more power in Extreme tune, and the fuel mileage has increased about 30%. It also puffs black smoke - not a lot - at more than 1/3 throttle, which I don't like.
"rolling coal" is just wasted unburnt fuel. Back down the programming a notch.
Jon Ganzer what kind of fuel milage do you get?
Jon Ganzer any truck is gonna coal with no emissions on it. Dumping all that diesel in flooring it the trucks not gonna be able to burn it all right awau
Jon Ganzer at the time you made this video did your truck only have the dpf delete?
Awesome video, very helpful to find everything to disconnect.
"Well, in fact they are!" 😂 lol Thanks for the video dude very informative details!
Hahaha! Crazy, right?!
Awesome video!! Tackling my 2011 in a couple weeks! Thanks for this!
I have a 2011 I plan to delete as well. Have you done it yet? How’d it go
Thomas Slocumb Not yet!!! Because I live in the middle of the pacific Hawaii, we have a waaaay harder time getting our good and they kill us with the shipping! Still planning it though just need some time.
Nice video bro. I’m actually waiting for my kit to come in today!!! 🇺🇸
Where did you get your kit from? Are you happy with it
Great video man! I’m getting everything together to do this to my new to me 2015 F250.
video was definitley helpful... thanks a lot man!
Wow - excellent video! this will save me a ton of time. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great video. I will be bookmarking this video. Also thanks for not being into "rolling coal", I personally think it is really dumb.
Jon, nice video. If you ever have the time , a follow up video on your experience would be awesome!
This was very helpful thanks for the video
Ah, right. The program (tune) is actually written to the trucks computer, so even if the battery died or you completely disconnected the computer, the tune does not go away.

Holy fuck this things exhaust is a monster
Awesome video...pointing out all the connections was perfect, that way I can save the DPF in case it ever needs to go back on.
It really is a shame you have to go through all this crap just to get the truck to be reliable. I was thinking of getting one of the newer diesels but having seen all the issues with all the new emissions crap the Government is forcing upon them I am thinking the 6.2 gas will be better for my needs.

Thanks John this was a great video
Great video. Did my dpf delete today. Used a mini maxx tuner. Had to turn off defuel function because of inaccurate pyro readings. Other than that it runs great. Thanks for the video.
Any chance you have a video on the mini Maxx? I just purchased mine and the instructions they sent me suck...
And did yo end up deleting the EGR as well?
Yes they do suck. Sorry no video. I had to google a couple of things. Key has to be on to program. You have to disable Pyro gas temp if you do not have means of measuring. I did not delete EGR and the pyro was putting mine in defuel mode. After I disabled this it ran great.
Thanks so much for the video! Best DPF video by far! Thanks god:)
So down to the questions
Did you end up deleting the EgR as well?
And if not, why not? And if so do you happen to have a video on that?
Thanks again sir
Yup. EGR blockoff plates.
"i spent 20 minutes Hammering on deez nuts here...." 🤣 Best part of the video! @jonganzer7478 felt like you were laughing with me at the same thing the way you giggled through the next few sentences lol. Good stuff. 👍
I did the same exact thing with the welded bolts.... haha great video sir!
Ha! Nice to know I'm not the only one! 😁
Nice and detailed removal video.
Great comment about not wanting to “roll coal”. I’m guessing it’s the EGR delete that creates the black smoke? I have no desire to bellow a black cloud everywhere. Very informative vid... thank you!
Hi James,
Removing the EGR and DPF increases the exhaust particulates, but some guys then install a very rich tune, which creates a lot of black smoke when they accelerate.
Jon Ganzer: do you an EGR removal video for a 6.7L powerstroke also?
👍👍.great video. Very informational.
DEF connection is actually very easy to remove. Push the hose connection down before squeezing. Don't even have to squeeze it that hard if you push it down.
Excellent, thanks!
Great job Jon. I'm in the process of acquiring the programmer and at the same time installing a Amsoil by-pass oil filtration system. This will allow me extended synthetic oil drains. I've used the same system on two other diesels I've owned with proven results.
That would be a yes. As the custom tune is set for the delete
Removed the monstrosity yesterday. DId not have the hanger pliers - no tool suppliers had any either. So, I simply unscrewed the hanger hardware from the left frame rail (8 nuts) and pulled the monster out with the hangers still on the monster.

Thank you for a great video.
Great video appreciate the help!
Nicely done,
Great video!!
great video, very imformative. thank you
“For racing of course”😂😂
Not
Most definitely 😉
Great content.
Is there a video out there showing how to install the block plates on the EGR?
Good job on the video
Don't worry about broken bolts. They break by themselves. Just slot em and drive em out and put stainless bolts and nuts on.
Imagine putting the dpf back on for a inspection 😭
Dude thank you
Thanks for the vid. Very informative. Did you delete the EGR? How would you compare the SCT tuner with say the Spartan? Do you mind me asking what you paid for tuner and custom tunes?
The "canister" is a contra-weight to avoid vibrations at certain rpms !
Ah - very nice. Thanks, Chris!
Nice it actually sounds like a diesel now
Yeah, just zip tie any loose or unused connectors to the frame so they don't get melted on the new exhaust.
Well done.
Why not just use torches to break them exhaust bolts loose?
Good idea. Just not the welded one. :o)
Torch works good but people seem to heat the bolt instead of the nut or where the threads are. Your trying to expand the hole the bolt is in not the bolt its self
I wanted to hear the turbo spool up.
😟
Double and triple check you have removed all connections my 15 has 9 plugs on DpF sys and 1 more on tailpipe if you do full exhaust
Nice job, but a turbo spools up and down it doesn't whine
approx how long did the entire process take you. Didn't seem to difficult, but more tedious. Also, have you done any significant towing with this set up? Of course tunes will have an impact on this, but what have you noticed most? Throttle response..lower egts..?

I pull one boxes out of Freightliners all the time. I have seen the inside of them quite often. There is barely any restriction. Even the SCR system isnt that restrictive.
And yes, you need back pressure for proper performance.
What about the rubber hoses connected to the dpf. What are they for because there are about 4-5 maybe on it. The plugs are undone all i lack now is the hoses and brackets.
This was a fantastic video, great job! I just bought a 2016 and have been researching ways to do a delete. I have the same motor but it's on a 350 dually. Did you end up getting rid of anything under the hood to clean things up after you did this or was it just all underneath? I will probably look to get this done on mine the minute it's out of warranty but it's so tempting to just do it now after the first oil change. lol
+Rule 44 Also, forgot to add that I live in a county in Indiana that doesn't Emission test and I'm not commercial so there is no way I'll get checked out on this unless down the road I sell.
Is that black canister solid? I wonder if it’s to soak up engine exhaust vibrations so it doesn’t trace through the exhaust and damage dpf sensors???
Very informative! Thanks for taking the time. The welded nuts would have been sure to fool me too! Btw what rims do you have on your truck? I only caught a glimpse but looks like machined black? And Terra grappler? How do you like those?
The wheels are actually stock Ford 20", nothing fancy, but I like them. The Grapplers are solid, and quieter than I expected - but they're still new.
They're nox sensors not O2 sensors and the ones you don't know about are egt sensors
Thank you!
Where can I get this programmer ?
On the SCT website they say there programmers will not support a delete ……?
Good doc!
how important is it to unplug that 3rd connection.orange throttle plate plug.i have been running for over a month now with just the 2 plugs on the cooler out and that's it.truck runs fine and really strong and no engine lights or nuthing.
what did you do with the other end of all of the plugs? Bag them and tie them up? Just curious? Also why did you decide to just do the delete and tune rather than the complete system with the Blocks? Are you planning on reinstalling it at some point? Thats what I would have to do as I live in a state that has emission checks.
What can I do if I don't have the sensors on the dpf system and I need to add my tuning will it work
My 2015 has a sensor controller. Do I just un hook it like the other plugs and move along?
Can you provide a list of all the parts you used and who manufactures them?
just wondering when you shut it off after about 1min maybe less it sounds like the reductant pump is still comes is this soppose to happen?
Ok its been just over a year, are you still happy with the result?
Jon what size pipe did you use for delete pipe? Also was the pipe installed after CAT? Thanks!
Great Video... did you wait till the warranty was up or you plan on putting it back on if anything occurs?

Hey Buddy,
My truck has 100,000 miles, out of warranty. But I did keep all the parts in storage just in case I need an emission inspection and it doesn't pass.
Emissions equipment is only under warranty until 50k miles. It's in the fine print. Just found out and I was pissed. If the emissions stuff fails and takes out the engine between the 50 and 100k mark, you're not covered because the failure was not under warranty. It's BS and I didn't know when I bought my truck.
Where did you get your kit?
If you have a 2015 or 2016 there are actually 10 connections. And the last one is over the rear axle.
Thanks, Drew!
Drew Gustafson thanks!
Thanks for the video. What did you do with your def tank? I hear people flush them out with distilled water but I haven’t figured out how yet.
Hi Charles,
I left mine in place and just blocked off the hoses. No need to remove it, and it makes it easier to reinstall everything if you need to.
so i need to buy a sct tuner then buy dpf delete tunes? where and how do you get the tunes onto the sct? also what happens if battery dies on truck? do u lose everything?
Well, there are several tuners that will work with this truck - SCT has a good background with Fords, and would be a good choice. The tuner, or "programmer" downloads updated software to the computer in your car or truck - kind of like different versions of Windows. Windows XP and Windows 8 will both load on your home computer and allow it to run, but the computer will behave very differently with the different operating systems.
You can buy different tunes for your particular truck online - just do a search - the tunes are downloaded or emailed to you as files. When you plug your tuner into the computer you used to download your tuning files, (using an interface cable) you can transfer the files (tunes) to your tuner. Hope that helps.
Jon Ganzer thank you so much. What happens if your truck battery dies. Do you need to put the delete tunes back in? Also what website sells the downloads?
Well, you don't need an SCT - there are other tuners available, but SCT seems to have a good handle on the Ford vehicles. You can google "Diesel Tunes", and several different manufacturers will come up. They sell you files that can be loaded to your device, so be sure they are compatible.
