It will set a code if it is removed and not eliminated in the ECM programing by a programer.
2.) Which tuner to use? is the bully dog Triple Dog GT tuner any good?
Spartan has been the popular choice for the 6.4 crowd for the DPF delete, exhaust and tuning.
3.) Which intake to use? what are people using to get the most outta there truck? have always had k&n but tired of paying for it
If you are not going to make over 500hp leave it alone
4.) The trucks ECM, will chippin this truck cause warranty issues?
Yes it will void the warranty if the dealer catches you. Ask your dealer if they are mod friendly because if you take it to them with out a DPF on the truck you will be SOL.

If you cut out the DPF and leave it as-is, your truck will go into a constant regen mode.
Bully Dog is crap.
Go with a K&N if you'd like to dust your turbos.
For the warranty, anything other than STOCK FoMoCo parts on that motor will void the warranty, unless you either have a good friend in the service department or return the truck to stock before taking it in for ALL service.

any modification of the exhaust from the back of the turbo to the tail pipe is considred a federal offense. you can thank those stupid EPA bastards for ruining the diesel motors. my dad has a 2008 6.4 and were lucky of we can get 12 MPG out of it.
