Tell me what you think!!!

Ok guys, as I'm sure some of you have read and seen there is a guy on the other forum who has cut off the cat and DPF. He isn't telling anyone how he did it and him and I got into a "pissing contest" and now he isn't selling me his part, so I'll try to make it as short as possible. I'm want to cut off the DPF, now it has two sensors one in front one in the rear. The DPF is just there to "catch" the soot and when it gets to a certain level the truck "burns" it off. This leads to my problem. I'm 99% sure if I leave the sensors out of the straight pipe the CEL will come on and the truck won't run. So now I'm asking what do you guys think the those sensors do? I believe there are two possible answers. The first is that the sensors might measure the soot, but I don't think that because wouldn't the CEL go off when the soot is being burned off I mean there are going to be traces right? The second, I believe is this, all the sensors do is measure airflow and when the rear is reading up to par then it sends the truck in regen mode. So if the truck is reading good airflow there is no regen mode and there are little puffs of black smoke , like on the video. Now the guy claims his CEL isn't on which leads me to believe all the sensors do is measure airflow. I've got a buddy who has a exhaust shop and I'm going to do it sooner or later, I was just want your input. Please don't give me the warranty speech, I know it, I just want to know what you think. Thanks guys

That sucks man. I wonder why he is not willing to share info.

If you were to take of the DPF, I would make sure that you could easily put it back on in case you have to have any warranty work or if you just can't make the sensors cooperate. I saw that video on the other forum. Looks like it would work....

Yeah I was going to take off the DPF as one piece with the flange so I could put it on there if needed.

just out of curiosity, what happens if you take the sensors out and just let them hang in the air under the truck? does it fire the cel?

I'd be willing to take of the dpf but I would rather wait until Banks or MBRP makes a delete system for it. I just don't want to take it off and have problems with engine lights and the computer.

Don't know I was going to try it tonight...

This may not work, but is it possible to find out what voltage/ohm's the sensor sends to the computer? If you can find that out you can probably buy some resistors and stuff at radio shack and rig up a "test box" and splice it into the sensor wire.

Jesus! that doesn't sound complicated, but uhmmmmm any ideas how I find what voltage there is to the sensor?

volt meter??? hehe j/k

My bad! I meant is there a certain number of volts I'm looking for, sorry I've done my share of wiring, but nothing like rigging something like this up....
