How to Safely Delete Your 6.7 L Powerstroke
Deleting a 6.7 Powerstroke is a common way to boost performance and fuel efficiency, but it’s important to know how to do it properly. In this guide, we’ll explain how to delete your 6.7 Powerstroke safely and efficiently, while integrating products from Tuner Depot to help make the process easier.
Why Delete Your Powerstroke?
When you delete your 6.7 Powerstroke, you're removing parts like the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), and Urea Injection System. Doing this can increase power, improve fuel economy, and extend the life of your engine. Many people choose to delete a 6.7 Powerstroke for these reasons, but it's important to be aware of the consequences, such as voiding the warranty and potential service refusals from some dealerships.
How to Delete a 6.7 Powerstroke the Right Way
If you're wondering how to delete a 6.7 Powerstroke, the process can be broken down into three easy steps:
1. Install a Tuner or Programmer
Before removing any emissions controls, you’ll need a tuner to ensure your truck runs smoothly without the DPF and EGR systems. Tuner Depot offers the Powerstroke Tuner Pro, which is designed for the 6.7 Powerstroke and helps prevent engine codes or drivability issues after the delete.
2. Install a DPF & EGR Delete Kit
Once you’ve got a tuner, it’s time to install a DPF and EGR delete kit. At Tuner Depot, we have both the 6.7 Powerstroke DPF Delete Kit and the 6.7 Powerstroke EGR Delete Kit with step-by-step instructions. These kits make it easy to complete the job, whether you're doing a full DPF delete on a 6.7 Powerstroke or just removing the EGR system.
3. Reprogram the ECU
After deleting the emissions systems, you’ll need to reprogram the ECU (Engine Control Unit) to avoid error codes and drivability issues. Our Powerstroke Delete Kit at Tuner Depot simplifies this process and ensures everything runs smoothly once the delete is complete.
Considerations When Deleting a 6.7 Powerstroke
It’s important to understand the risks and benefits before deleting a 6.7 Powerstroke. While it can increase performance and fuel efficiency, it will void your factory warranty and may limit your options for getting your truck serviced at a dealership. Additionally, some states have emissions regulations that prohibit deleted vehicles from passing inspections.
