Hello from a Canadian. My 2020 AT4 HD 3500 recently threw a check engine light, turns out it was heater #3 in my DEF tank. Two of my co workers have already had this issue months ago and now it's my turn. Dealership is saying 2 to 8 weeks for a new tank to come in. If it happened once its going to happen again next winter. 

 

I am SERIOUSLY considering getting it deleted and tuned with an Optimized Factory tune. Could someone who has already done this and is willing to answer some questions please PM me? It would be greatly appreciate. There is a few things I'd like to know before I drop $8000.

 

Thanks in advance!

do it in Calgary at Schultz diesel sports , much cheaper and highly recommended, I did my 2017 there this spring ,

If you’re considering a delete kit for your 2018 Duramax, I can tell you from personal experience that it’s a worthwhile investment. A delete kit not only enhances performance by increasing horsepower and torque but also improves fuel efficiency. I found that removing the DPF and EGR components led to a noticeable difference in throttle response and overall power delivery.

Plus, the installation process was pretty straightforward, and the quality of the kit I used was top-notch. If you’re serious about maximizing your Duramax’s potential, I highly recommend checking out a reliable delete kit for the 2018 Duramax. It transformed my driving experience!

Here is some interesting... The Chevron Deference was repealed. So what is the Chevron Deference?

 

"The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned the decades-old Chevron doctrine of judicial deference to a federal agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous statute."

 

What is a Deferance?

"Deference is a legal principle that involves a court or other authority yielding to another legitimate party's judgment or decision"

 

With that being said, the EPA might lost their fangs. Most of the Fed Agencies regs were made intentionally vague with the sole purpose to give the agencies wiggle room to interpret them in any way they want.

 

Now, if a group challenge the EPA so called "Experts" in court, stating the DEF, DPF and all the extra nonesense increase fuel consumption, CO2 levels, and throws Ammonia into the atmosphere, might get a good chance to remove legaly all these pesky crap-o-la devices. Not only that, DEF shortages could create a potential risk to national security (paralizing the trucking industry), due the imports of this "Piss Fluid."

 

This not only apply to the EPA, it applies to all Agencies.

 

Perhaps, we are going to see some changes on the emissions tests (Dieselgate) and the usage of the Exhaust Piss Fluid.

One of the things I like about the L5P is how clean it runs with no exhaust smell.

 

My hope would be to run the reduced setup but still have the cat to help clean the exhaust. Getting rid of the DEF DPF and EGR would be good for engine longevity and reliability.

 

How stinky are those deletes? I am not looking at rolling coal these days, had that with my TDI and those days are behind me now! 😉

    • We have now!  2027 GMC Sierra  Early look, but I'm a GMC guy and so far I think I like the looks of the Chevy better.
    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
