Hello everybody, this won’t be a terribly exiting post as I came here for information rather than to enlighten others. That being said, I intend to actually follow your suggestions.
I have a 2011 6.7 fully locked 4x4 riding on Kings and with custom work protecting just about anything that’s vulnerable. It’s a real brute that will go just about anywhere.
Here is my immediate goal:
I will soon depart to travel through South America and then ship it on over to Oz and back.
I need to bullet proof my rig in a very real way.
My priorities:
1. Be able to run on high sulfur diesel without so much as a hiccup.
2. Remove EGR (its already caused me to run to the dealer on multiple occasions)
3. Remove DPF, eliminate regeneration cycles, eliminate the necessity for carrying DEF and possibly utilize the DEF tank as a spare fuel tank.
4. Remove the speed governor, although I have nothing against possessing a RPM governor if such a thing would prevent engine damage.
5. Replace or remove ALL of the EPA related sensors / temperature / NOS / O2 etc… that brings the engine into limp mode the very minute they are faulty.
6. I realize that I’ll need a programmer, but really don’t care to monitor all the **** that’s going on nor do I care to shift from one tune to the other; in short, I don’t want a display but if I must have one then I’ll end up mounting it under the rear seat or some such thing.
7. I DO NOT WANT MORE POWER. I need this thing to be robust even if its detuned and at the expense of performance.
Yes, I chose the wrong vehicle for the application as its far too sophisticated a machine for touring many of the developing lands I intend to visit. That being said, I’ve poured everything I’ve got into a truck I am proud of and would need your help to do this right.
I’ve seen that H&S at one point or another offered a high sulfer tune but required that I fill out a form approved by the EPA with my VIN detailed on it, etc… yea, that’s totally going to happen. Has everybody discontinued these programmers? Is everything I see on sale previously manufactured equipment?
Finally, is there anything truly weak about my turbo that YOU would consider replacing before such a trip?
I appreciate your help.
Keep in mind that I’m talking about traveling outside of the states but do not intend to give my detailed information to any government agency.
Kind regards, BRUTUS
