F350 No smoke

Hey there, I have a 2008 F350 6.4L and I have done the DPF delete and hollowed out my cat. I am wondering if it is normal not to have any black smoke?

Stock tuning? Yes. Also, if you're on stock tuning you will eventually throw codes and go into permanent regen.

You might just have not gutted the cat. You might have to have it along with the dpf one day if it has to go back to a dealership for warranty work. If you don't have all the emissions stuff on the truck they can deny you the warranty.

Should have not hollowed out that cat. Hope you kept that dpf and didnt hack it up also

Stock tunning wont give you any smoke and as stated before I hope you have a program that will turn regen off or that truck is gonna be sick soon and some money will be coming out of your pockets

Sorry I forgot to mention that I am running an Edge race tuner. By removing the dpf and the cat, I have better fuel mileage. Also, no issues with the warrenty since the service guy is cool.

Good to hear that. I was getting worried for you.

I had a six position bd chip and until you turned it all the way up it wouldn't smoke at all. Must just be the tuner hp level
