Opinions on mods

Farmed Out · Jul 2, 2013

So I'm looking for everyone's opinion on something. I just picked up a 09 F450 that has a brand new 6.4 from the factory. The motor had about 300 miles on it when I got it, the motor has a 3yr unlimited mileage warranty that comes with it. My question is do I do dpf/egt delete now and risk voiding the motor warranty or wait until my 3 yrs are up and then mod it. Also I only use this truck to pick up feed and tow our horse and hay trailers it will probably only get about 6 to 9 thousand miles in a year.

IMO its better to delete them from the get to avoid oil dilution. I dont see you having any issues if you go ahead and delete it.

Ide give it a couple thousand miles.. if something bigs gunna let go it should happen right away. Then Ide delete. Might also ask the service wrighter how he feels about doing warranty work on a modded truck. Then you'll know!

I planned on doing that I've actually heard good things about the service manager at this dealership

I think it depends on how many miles you put on it. If you put less than 20,000miles a year leave it alone until your warranty ends. But if your like me and put on 30,000+ a year I would delete it.

Delete it, and keep everything you take off

WHS

Delete the exhaust and keep it in case of something. These trucks really like to run without that crap. Leave the EGR coolers though, you can turn it off with a tuner and most seem to not have problems with it turned off. Then remove them after the warranty is over.
