What happens if DPF is removed?

Ford sold just over 500,000 F-250/F-350 trucks with the 6.7L diesel between 2011 and 2017. If 1% of owners buy a DPF delete kit, you’ve got a market of 50,000 units. That’s enough to bring the cost of them down. I don’t think any tractor manufacturer build enough tractors to make that sort of scale possible.

Anyone that does build a DPF delete for these things is going to be building a one-off unit for themselves.

It’s gonna cost us lost time, more maintance cost and fuel usage. Just saying.
