I've only been a member on this board for a week, and one common denominator I see is "You have to PAY to PLAY".

There are a lot of guys with tuned trucks, and have been that way for several thousand miles. However there is risk obviously, and you have to ask yourself. Do you want to take that risk?

If this truck is your daily driver, and after you tune it something breaks and you can't afford to fix it, like a transmission or HPFP then I wouldn't tune it.

Well what is a warranty? In simplest form it is an insurance policy. A warranty like all other insurance policies may or may not pay for itself in the long run.

If you really want to tune the truck then why don't you pay yourself for that insurance policy. Put the money in a bank account and if the truck ever breaks you've got some money sitting there to fix it.

It is anywhere from $1200 ish - 2000 ish to tune, DPF delete, and air intake. Depending on how crazy you get with things. The H&S mini will run about $900, but the Spartan is $1249. You could get an AFE CAI for around $309 or the S&B for $289. Then there is exhaust, it could be as cheap as a couple hundred bugs to just delete the DPF/DOC or as much as $600 for a full exhaust not including the down pipe. Prices vary per brand.

My vote it to tune and delete the DPF, but you have to accept the risk that you may have tranny problems or head gasket problems because of the mods and how hard you run the truck. You just never know. Of course if you tune it, then there is no point spending your money on the warranty because they are just going to void it if you ever have problems.

JMHO!

Doss,

I just bought a tuner (spartan)/5" MBRP exhaust/S&B CAI from PTP, they have a sale going on for MBRP parts. I sent a PM to Nate, he was very quick to respond and answer some questions I had.

Obviously I haven't installed anything yet, but can't wait until I do!!!
