I have not, it's only on its 2nd oil change, I was debating whether or not to. It has 3,500 miles currently, added about a quart, and it's very black. Who else does them other than Blackstone or Polaris?Very interesting. Does the engine oil come out looking like it's all used up? Do you get a oil analysis done?
Okay, Gotcha. These emissions laden engines make oil black quick. Have you thought about also doing a oil Bypass filtration system to help clean the soot out of the oil?I have not, it's only on its 2nd oil change, I was debating whether or not to.

I'm still torn as to whether or not to put a DPK and a CCV Bypass. I want to, but I don't want to have to worry about warranty BS.
But at the same time, waiting on the entire fuel system parts plus labor could be worse. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

I like the S&S DPK better, I'm not a fan of the plastic filters. But it requires a cut line which I'm not a fan of. I like SPEs CCV setup.Okay, Gotcha.

Blackstone is the only one I know of.
I here you about not wanting to mess with the warranty. But, in order for them to say they will not cover something under warranty they have to prove what you added caused the problem. That's my understanding. But I could also be wrong.
If you do do a DPK, SPE makes a nice one. There's is 100% bolt on. Plus it has a built in filter to keep debris from entering the return side incase of a pump failure. Also, you can monitor the health of the CP4.2 by the filter since it catches the debris coming out of the pump.
A CCV Bypass or just a filtering setup would be nice. Keep as much junk out of the engine as possible.
Another that would not hurt is a better fuel filtration setup. One that takes all the air and water out of the fuel. This is key to a healthy CP4.2. Also proper priming of the fuel system after a filter change.
Okay, The SDP DPK has a reusable metal filter and requires no cut lines. The S&S with the spin off filter would be nice.I like the S&S DPK better, I'm not a fan of the plastic filters. But it requires a cut line which I'm not a fan of. I like SPEs CCV setup.
My big worry is in the event something big does go, so they gotta do us play ****-****... "your aftermarket filter created too much pressure on the CP4.." or "your oil bypass caused a restriction that caused a spun bearing" is all they need to say and now I need a lawyer. I might win in the long run but it's a risk, and not a small one.

Did you get torque numbers as well as HP with this last dyno run?I ran my totally stock '23 tremor (HO is the only diesel option) on they dyno last month when it had like 300 miles on it, and 80% DPF soot load. It still made 495 RWHP. It has 37's now, and a banks dpf back exhaust. Next dyno event I'm at, I'll be sure to have a clean dpf and see how that shakes out. I'm actually tempted to put stock tires back on for the run though for a more unmanipulated number. I'll post here if there's anything noteworthy.
The 2017 and newer 6.7s seem to punch above what's expected.

Why wouldn't they?I wonder if they put a keyway in the crank/gear...
THey hadnt up to now...and has been an issue on bigger power buildsWhy wouldn't they?
Seriously?? Its a press on? Like the ole 7.3s that needed welded?THey hadnt up to now...and has been an issue on bigger power builds
