New to fords. Looking for any and all advice

I recently purchased a 2010 f250 lariat with 60xxx miles. Other than oil changes at 5000 and doing a dpf/erg delete. What are things I should know. I've heard of cavitation and how detrimental the whole emission set up in general is. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.some of these horror stories have got me a little scared

Deleted it and run it. Depending on how big of a tune you run will determine how long the head gaskets last. So plan on doing those sooner or later

What your running for a tuner

It's bone stock as of now. Haven't touched it. Would like to find a used spartan and dpf delete. I believe those would save me the purchase of a erg delete correct? Only thing it's got so far is 6" lift on 37-12.50r20's

Are the issues the '08,'09's had as prominent in the 10's?

And honestly I hadn't heard much about the head gaskets on the 6.4's. More so the 6.0's

Cause everyone's already done them lol.. Trust me they are just as bad as the 6.0's


Stud it delete it and have fun with it!







Just don't crack a piston:blah:






Or destroy the motor like I did

Yeah the pop hg, not so much in stock form. If you tune it you will pop the head gaskets. Just a matter of time so be ready for it. Yes if you tune it it should shut off the egr system. But it's still good to get rid if the hardware

Regular egr delete or a delete w/ waste gate? I've been told that if you do an egr delete and don't get one with a waste gate built in, you'll run too high of cylinder pressures and have issues. Is this true? Should one leave the hardware in place and just shut it off with the tuning? I also have a 10 that I'll be doing some work with.

IMO a waste gate is a waste until you add bigger injectors or start to spray no2

be religious on maintenance like fuel filters and oil changes. basic tune and egr delete and rock out!

i personally would custom tune it using an SCT device (very affordable) or an H&S Mini maxx (more expensive but has safety defuels, shift on the fly, etc)

the 10's had less hpfp harness issues, less injector issues, less head gasket and trans issues. also the 10's came with microsoft sync

not a waste. many people crack uppipes, blow head gaskets and float valves for this reason. what you must remember is that a stock truck opens the egr valve slightly at full throttle so that relieves a chunk of drive pressure.
