2017-2019 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Kit

Why You Need a 2017-2019 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Kit

Common Problems with the Factory Emissions System

• Recurring DPF Regeneration Cycles: The factory DPF forces frequent regeneration cycles that burn extra fuel, raise exhaust gas temperatures, and dilute your engine oil with soot-laden fuel — accelerating engine wear on your 2017-2019 Super Duty.
• DEF System Failures: The 2017 model year introduced AdBlue/DEF to the 6.7L Powerstroke, and DEF pump failures, crystallized DEF lines, and sensor faults are among the most common complaints. A single dealer DEF system repair can cost $2,500-$4,800.
• EGR Cooler Leaks and Failures: The redesigned EGR cooler on the 2017-2019 6.7L Powerstroke is still prone to cracking and coolant leaks, which can cause overheating, white smoke, and even hydro-lock the engine. Dealer EGR cooler replacement runs $1,800-$3,200.
• Lost Power and Poor Fuel Economy: The restrictive factory emissions system chokes your 6.7L Powerstroke, robbing it of 40-120+ horsepower and reducing fuel economy by 2-4 MPG. For truck owners who tow and haul daily, this means higher fuel costs and sluggish performance on grades.

What These 2017-2019 6.7 Powerstroke Delete Kits Solve

Performance and Reliability Benefits

• Exhaust Gas Temperature Drops of 150-200°F: Removing the EGR system eliminates hot exhaust gas recirculation, dramatically lowering EGTs and protecting your turbo, pistons, and cylinder heads during heavy towing.
• Fuel Economy Gains of 2-4 MPG: Without the DPF regeneration cycle injecting extra fuel and the EGR system restricting airflow, your 2017-2019 Powerstroke runs more efficiently — saving $1,500-$2,500 per year in fuel costs for drivers who tow regularly.
• 40-120+ Rear-Wheel Horsepower Unlocked: Paired with an EZ Lynk or Mini Maxx V2 tuner, a full delete kit unleashes the true potential of the second-generation 6.7L Powerstroke. The 4" DPF + EGR + CCV Delete + Tuner combo ($1,347.98) is our most popular choice for maximum gains.
• Eliminate $6,000-$12,000 in Future Emissions Repair Bills: Deleting the DPF, DEF, and EGR systems removes the components most likely to fail — and the components that cost the most to fix at the dealer.
• Cleaner Engine Oil for Longer Intervals: Without soot-loaded regen cycles dumping fuel into your oil pan, your engine oil stays cleaner longer, extending oil change intervals and protecting internal components.

Maximizing the 2017-2019 Upgraded VGT Turbocharger

When Ford updated the 6.7L engine for the 2017 model year, they optimized the turbocharger profile to deliver faster transient response and higher peak boost. However, running a stock restrictive exhaust filter underneath creates severe backpressure right at the turbine exhaust housing.

By installing a comprehensive 2017-2019 combination kit, you drop backpressure to absolute zero. This allows the updated VGT turbo to spool up immediately, resulting in lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), crisper throttle execution, and a measurable boost in fuel economy during severe heavy hauling.

Full Kit Breakdown: Inside the Second-Gen Powerstroke Elimination Hardware

A proper competition package leaves nothing to chance under the hood or the frame rail. Beneath the truck, the bulky factory canister assembly is unbolted and replaced with a continuous, high-flow mid-pipe or a full turbo-back exhaust line utilizing heavy-duty laser-cut flanges. On the top side of the motor, a total Stage 2 cooler extraction is completed. The entire fluid-fed cooler tower sitting in the valley is removed from the block, and the exposed exhaust manifold bridges are permanently capped using our thick, anodized block-off plates.

1. Professional Race-Spec Infrastructure Components

Focus: Elimination of carbon ingestion, clearing the center engine valley, and maximizing exhaust velocity.

• Complete 2017-2019 Delete Bundles: Curated mid-generation packages containing both the underbody bypass pipe and the upper block-off plates.
• Heavy-Gauge Exhaust Block-Offs: Laser-cut, warp-resistant plates that seal the high-pressure exhaust ports under severe track workloads.
• Molded Silicone Coolant Reroute Lines: High-temperature silicone bypass loops that bridge the factory heating lines seamlessly after the structural core is pulled.

2017-2019 Reality Check: Managing the Mid-Gen Sensor Matrix and Fire-Wall Clearances

While general automotive forums present a full delete as a basic driveway project, modifying a 2017, 2018, or 2019 Super Duty F250 or F350 requires deep technical context. Mechanically, the factory exhaust manifold fasteners pose a distinct obstacle. Having endured thousands of intense thermal expansion cycles, these stainless fasteners are highly prone to snapping inside the blind manifold pockets during teardown. Applying premium penetrating fluid heavily for 24 hours prior to installation and utilizing low-profile, tight-clearance tools is vital to prevent an expensive shop extraction repair.

Electronically, the 2017-2019 models feature a highly specific sensor matrix that differs from earlier platforms. Pulling both systems leaves behind multiple active, multi-pin electrical harness connectors dangling beneath the chassis and inside the engine bay (originally reading NOx levels, EGT data, and actuator positioning). Leaving these open wire ends exposed to moisture, road grime, or engine heat is a major risk. Rain and road salt will quickly cause cross-pin moisture short circuits, which can crash your truck's central CAN-Bus communication network, throwing your dashboard into a frenzy of false electronic faults and locking down the powertrain.

2. Severe-Haul Drivetrain Protections & Fluid Management Safeguards

Focus: Weatherproofing dangling wire lines, managing radical torque curves, and ensuring cooling stability.

• Dual-Zone Wire Terminal Weatherproofing: Clean all exposed factory chassis and engine plugs, pack the pins with dielectric grease, wrap them tightly with weatherproofing tape, and secure them high along the upper frame rail away from debris.
• TorqShift 6R140 Transmission Defense: Un-choking your 2017-2019 engine allows the turbocharger to build pressure instantly, unleashing a massive wave of low-end torque. To protect your TorqShift 6-speed automatic transmission clutches during heavy commercial towing, upgrading to high-flow heavy-duty transmission cooler lines is highly recommended.
• Cooling Loop Airlock Purge Sequence: Extracting the factory cooler blocks requires draining and opening the primary cooling loop. Installers must run standard air-bleeding cycles after refilling the fluid to eliminate trapped air pockets that could cause localized hot zones on the cylinder heads.

Q: How do I protect the open electrical wiring left behind after removing the factory components?

A: Removing the underbody filter and top-end cooler leaves several active factory wiring harness plugs open beneath the hood and under the chassis. To prevent issues, thoroughly clean the terminals, pack them with protective dielectric grease, seal them tightly with specialized weatherproofing electrical tape, and secure them safely out of the way along the upper frame rail to avoid moisture shorts that could crash your central CAN-Bus network.

Q: Will a hardware kit designed for a 2011-2016 truck fit properly on a 2017-2019 model?

A: No. While the underlying engine block shares similarities, the 2017-2019 model years feature unique frame configurations, altered underbody exhaust hanger locations, different routing for the cooling lines, and revised electrical plug profiles. Always select a kit built specifically for your exact model year range to ensure a perfect fit.

Q: How does removing the factory exhaust restriction affect transmission cooling during heavy towing?

A: Removing the underbody restrictions allows your turbocharger to build boost instantly, generating a rapid wave of low-end torque. This swift power increase can cause higher operational heat within your TorqShift transmission clutches under load. To keep your transmission fluid running cool and protect your lines from leaking during heavy hauling, upgrading to heavy-duty high-flow transmission cooler lines is highly recommended.
