Alright so I see a lot of mention of tuning these things, both to increase power and fuel economy. I’ve also seen mention of bypassing emissions systems.
What I can’t seem to find is what exactly is being bypassed, and what the side effects are. I’ve seen the DPF delete pipes and tunes, and have read that the EPA can fine you $2500 for doing that, along with no shop ever being willing to touch it again.
I definitely don’t want any fines/trouble, but what is out there to improve reliability of these things? The biggest concerns I’ve seen have been related to emissions equipment. A buddy of mine is planning on having “everything” deleted off his big Cummins, but I don’t even know what that means.
Thanks for any insight!
