Tools and Preparation
Before starting, gather these common tools:
- Ratchets, sockets, and wrenches (various sizes, including a torque wrench)
- Screwdrivers (flathead and Phillips)
- Pliers and wire cutters
- Jack stands for lifting the truck
- Gloves, safety goggles, and WD-40 or penetrating oil
- Coolant drain pan
- Truck tuner/programmer (essential for ECU recalibration post-install)
- Basic shop tools, like a pry bar for heavy components
Preparation tips:
- Park on a flat surface and let the engine cool completely.
- Disconnect the negative battery cables to prevent electrical issues.
- Drain coolant from the radiator.
- Remove the passenger-side inner fender liner for access.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
1. Remove the EGR System (EGR Delete)
The EGR delete eliminates recirculation of exhaust gases, reducing soot buildup and improving performance.
- Disconnect components: Remove heat shields, turbo intake horn, PCV hose, and coolant lines from the EGR valve and cooler. Unbolt the AC compressor bracket if needed for access.
- Detach wiring: Unplug sensors and harnesses from the Y-bridge, throttle, and EGR.
- Remove EGR cooler and pipes: Loosen bolts on the EGR cooler, exhaust manifold, and thermostat housing. Pull out the cooler and large coolant pipes—be prepared for coolant spillage.
- Install block-off plates and plugs: Fit the kit's steel block-off plate on the exhaust manifold and torque to spec (check kit for values, often 20-30 ft-lbs). Install billet plugs with O-rings in coolant ports.
- Replace hoses: Swap hardlines with flexible hoses (e.g., 5/8" diameter, 20" long) from the kit, connecting to the heater core and turbo.
Reassemble: Reinstall any removed parts, like the intake assembly, and check for leaks.
2. Remove the DPF/SCR System (DPF Delete)
The DPF delete removes the filter that traps particulates, freeing up exhaust flow.
- Access the exhaust: Lift the truck and support it securely. Start from the tailpipe and work forward.
- Disconnect sensors: Unplug the DEF injector, SCR, DPF sensors, and pyrometer probes. Secure wiring out of the way.
- Remove stock exhaust: Loosen clamps and unbolt flanges connecting the DPF and SCR. Lower the heavy assembly carefully (it can weigh 50+ lbs)—disassemble underneath if easier.
- Install new pipes: Slide clamps onto the new downpipe, extension pipes, muffler (if included), over-axle pipe, and tailpipe. Attach the downpipe to the turbo using the stock band clamp, then connect sections sequentially.
- Align and secure: Insert hangers into factory rubber isolators. Adjust for clearance (e.g., relocate isolators near the rear axle on some models). Tighten all clamps evenly from front to back.
- For extended models: Use specific pipes like 50012 for MegaCab/Short Bed or 50022 for CrewCab/Long Bed.
3. Tuning and Final Checks
- Tune the ECU: Use a compatible tuner (e.g., for delete tunes) to disable emissions codes, clear faults, and optimize fuel/timing. This is crucial to prevent limp mode or check engine lights.
- Refill and test: Reinstall fender liner, refill coolant, and reconnect batteries. Start the engine, idle to burp air from the cooling system, and top off coolant as needed.
- Inspect: Check for leaks, unusual noises, or vibrations. Test drive to verify performance gains like better throttle response and reduced regens.
- Monitor: Keep an eye on exhaust temps and fuel economy initially.
Tips and Considerations
Year-specific notes: For 2007.5-2009 models, focus on EGR/DPF; 2013-2018 often include DEF deletes; 2019+ may require more advanced tuning.
Common issues: Heavy components can be awkward—use help if needed. Ensure all sensors are properly capped or deleted to avoid codes.
Maintenance post-install: Change oil more frequently initially; expect improved longevity, but monitor for overheating.
Professional help: If you're new to this, a shop install costs $500-1,000 but ensures safety.
