I just bought an '08 with Mini Maxx and I was wondering if they also removed the DPF to install this. Is that done every time when installing one?

the tuner can be used with or without removing the dpf. If your wondering if the dpf is still there. look under the truck. The dpf looks like a huge cat converter. You can't miss it

Turn your programmer to the highest level and romp on the gas pedal. Black smoke= dpf removedNo black smoke= dpf not removed. It does not have to be removed for the programmer to work and add power. It just won't add as much power to the truck if the dpf is not removed

1st family tune is basic, you do not have to do DPF delete, or EGR delete.2nd and 3rd family tunes you will need to delete the DPF, new exhaust systemEGR is final delete upgrade.Best thing for you to do is research diesel forums, or goto a local shop that handles these upgrades and ask them.

If your buying used better make sure the previous owner unlocked the tuner from his truck. It does have DPF present or removed capability. Highly recommend dpf delete.

I've got a 2008 2x2.26 dual intel and it works great. Everyone seems to have problems finding the wires though.

No, you have to buy a programmer called Race ME in order to delete the EGR/DPF

For my 2008 with a 6.7 and 68rfe it works great. I have never set it above two mode, if I set it higher I think things would fail. My truck is all stock with DPF still in place. I tow 16,000 to 18,000 pounds weekly......

Same here. Its a simple install. Plug and screw in. If you try to reset the DTC it will only come back on. Bosch o2 sensors fixed the issue. Don't know what the deal is with these. Some kind of defect I think.

Brian - Sorry, I really didn't track it before and after that closely. I wish I could answer, but can't. I can say that you should be able to install it on your own. It also sounds great!

No you don't have to have the exhaust delete done, in the tuner you would just select no to that.... But I would recommend doing it, makes a big difference. FYI this "race tuner" is just a jail broken XRT street which allows you to do the race mods. I was a little disappointed when I gave the serial number to H&S; and they told me it was actually the street tuner. Hope this helps

this thing does not work as well as it should, it's basically a bandaid. I suggest buying a new 2014 MB like I did to remedy this as the interface in the new vehicles works amazing and I have not been happier. Hope that helps and it's being very honest.

Yes for the EGR for sure, DPF also as far as I am aware, but I too have a 6.0L so have not done DPF first hand.

Youtube shows that for 2012-2014 you can run a LED DRL but no confirmation on the 2015s. To be honest I don't think it can run both at the same time

It improves power definetely but little on the fuel mileage. Maybe 1 to 2 more mpg. I noticed more fuel mileage as I did the egr delete. I'm glad the dpf is gone the truck runs so much better.

That's a good question. I know a lot of the later vehicles are integrating the display with controls, like the AC, etc. I'm not qualified to answer that but perhaps someone who knows the GM vehicles inside and out does. There should be some web pages , Forums to be exact, that encourage Q & A that could answer your question. That's where I would go next. I usually get my answers too. Best of luck to you.
