Powerstroke Delete in Edmonton
DPF, EGR and DEF Delete
Ford Powerstroke owners in Edmonton mostly land here for one of three reasons: a check engine light, limp mode from a clogged DPF/EGR, or their DEF is freezing up on cold job sites and costing them a day's work.
Dealerships will perform a forced regen, hoping it cleans your DPF. EGR valves fail and EGR coolers clog. You can replace these parts, but we remove them, so your problems don't come back.
What’s included
- DPF, EGR and DEF removal
- Stainless exhaust (not aluminized steel, so it won't rust out like other setups)
- 24 hour turnaround time
- Delete tune or custom tune
- Labour for removal, install and tune
What happens after the delete
- Increased fuel economy: the engine isn't wasting any fuel on the DPF regen cycles.
- More power: without the emissions equipment and with a delete tune, anywhere from 0 up to 200 extra horsepower plus torque gains, depending on the custom tuning.
- Lower temperature: hot gases flow freely without a clogged or restrictive filter.
Why customers delete instead of repeated cleanings
DPF/EGR cleaning is a temporary fix. If it was clogged the first time, it's going to clog again. A delete removes the problem.
Long-term it's cheaper than repeat cleanings plus the downtime of having a truck in limp mode.
FAQ
Does deleting my truck affect the warranty?
Yes, it does affect the warranty if the cause of the problem was the delete and tune. Check with your local dealership to see where they stand on warranty work for a deleted truck.
How long does a Powerstroke delete take at your shop?
We take 5-6 hours to finish a full delete: removal, install of the kit, and tuning.
Will this affect fuel economy?
Yes, on average you are going to get better fuel economy because the truck isn’t using diesel on DPF regens.
Will my truck be louder after the delete?
It depends on the tune and on whether you choose a delete kit with a muffler or without.
