Any oil dripping from exhaust connections? Might be turbo seal and leaking out of the cobra head? When my turbo let go, it put oil in the exhaust and there was oil on top of the transmission as well as dripping from where the connection is made with my delete pipe.

In all honestly I would bet it's my turbo.. Early build 11' with 133K on the clock.. and supposedly the previous owner "had the updated bearings put in" so I don't trust that at all.. I will try to find where it's coming from on Saturday when it warms up.

You can see in there pretty well removing the wheel liner on the passenger side, especially if you remove the tire.

Deleted at ~800 miles, at 55,000 now. Just a blown stock turbo.

Stangr8cr · Feb 26, 2015

And as far as tuned miles go, tuned at 3.5k, deleted at 7k, and now sitting at 23k with the only problem being blown turbo as well. It's hard to be mad about the turbo when it runs the way it does with the retro kit though!!

Deleted at 136k, just turned 211k. Only complaints need more fuel!

That's great Buck. Now I've got to decide whether to do lift/wheels/tires or deletes. Can't do both! Decisions, decisions....

You might as well do the lift, wheels and tires. Because if you go delete first, then you'll be looking at turbos after that, then fuel......etc.

I'd say just the opposite. I guess I've always been go before show. But that's just me...

Another vote for go before show ^^^ Anything can look pretty.. But does it perform? My mentality anyways

Deleted mine at 15k now at 60k with no issues. Will be replacing the turbo soon just for preventative maintenance.

Are you gonna be replacing it with the same thing or upgrading to a 15 style?

Upgrading to a 15 turbo

Powerstroke_fan · Feb 27, 2015

I would defitenly upgrade to a 15 turbo if ur in there. It was one of the best upgrades I've done.

Tom@BigTimeKustomz · Feb 28, 2015

Great responses in here guys. Considering the stock crappy Michelins are almost toasted at 30k, tires have to come first. I'll get it looking good then moving down the road faster. I appreciate all the insight!

Anyone have tranny issues that are deleted?

I had some tranny issues before I deleted. Got a brand new tranny at 98K under warranty lol

Tom@BigTimeKustomz · Mar 1, 2015

PSD John, what's your mileage with your suspension setup and deletes?

Randy_270 · Mar 1, 2015

I don't have a lift Tom but I can tell you I get better highway mileage with 325/65r18s and deletes than I did stock on 275/70r18s. In the 5 months and almost 10k I had the truck stock, I couldn't get over 19.5 on the highway doing 62. Now deleted on 35s doing 68 I get 19-20 and if i slow back down to 62 I've seen 22 almost 23mpg.
