2012 F250 opinion
My youngest daughter and her husband just bought a 2012 250 Lariat 4x4 with the 6.7. 24K miles and the truck look's new. He traded in his Z71 Chebby and a '09 Harley Rocker to get this truck. Question is would it be worth it to do any mod's to the engine while in warranty that would void emissions or basic engine warranty. I say leave it alone because all they pull with any weight is a 8K pound 30ft travel trailer. He's being advised to chip it and eliminate the urea pipe exhaust. Truck is so quiet compared to the old 6.9 and 7.3's I'd hate to see them screw that up plus they need to keep it a long time.

I haven't been following the 6.7L's real close as I'll prolly never buy one since they are all automatics, but EGR/Cat/DPF deletes are pretty much a requirement for the 6.4L if you want to keep the truck forever. Emissions just castrate these motors and put a tremendous heat load on the top end. 10 years from now you will not see stock 6.4L on the road still running.

Thank's...I'll let them know. Sound's like a pain in the butt with these new eco friendly diesel's. When I drove semi truck's in the early 70's we had no problem's other then getting water in the fuel sometimes!

Thank's...son in law uses it to pull their 30' travel trailer for his hunting camp and still can fit his atv in the bed with the tailgate up. They also have 2 boat's that they use quite a bit in the summer so a dependable tow vehicle was needed. He traded in a worn out Chevy Z-71 and a nice '09 Harley Rocker to get this truck.

Shes a beaut
Why wouldn't you get rid of all the emission stuff on the pipe and put a straight pipe in there? Then they don't have to fill with fluid
Don't know if that will void the warranty as it is after everything and as long as they are not running a hot tune wouldn't that not void the warranty?
The only issue with that would be the green police or the DOT
