Mechanical DOD delete without the ECM DOD delete

I recently had my 2017 Silverado 5.3 engine rebuilt with a DOD delete kit. The shop did the physical delete, but did not complete the tune of DOD delete. My question is would that cause damage to my catalytic converter if I drove it?

They usually don't run right in the first place. If all the DoD parts were removed it's probably going to run on 4 cylinders only until you tune out the DoD and all the trouble codes along with it.

The reason why I'm asking this is that they released my truck to me thinking that all of the delete was complete but it wasn't after a 100 miles I was throwing cat codes and the engine was noticeably shifting at a coast.

I'd like to know how they deleted it.

 

I already know they make a non DoD camshaft replacement and then you use 16 standard lifters. But if the valley plate with the DoD brain was removed, it wouldn't run at all. So maybe they left that in place.

 

The computer still requires a tune to turn off the DoD and to stop it from evening trying to enable it. If you're getting codes P0420 and P0430 those seem odd with just a DoD delete.

The cam, lifters and valley plate where all replaced and the truck ran, but when it shifted from v8 to v4 I would have no power even with my foot on the gas. So my thought was that it was sending unburnt fuel through and that’s what damaged my cat. What are your thoughts? 
The reason is I need to make the shop pay for a new cat for there mistake of not doing the tune.

Wow, what a mess, the AFM also turns off the injectors, but you need to get a HPTuner system (or something) and learn how to use it (alot of YouTube videos are there) cause you will need it!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
