Give the truck back...I think?

Guys,



I tried to share what I did to remove all the exhaust on my 6. 7 and just how well its been doing on the DTR forum and had it all deleted and was told that I was not to do that on their forum. I didn't see any problem since all the guys was talking about straight exhaust and stuff, so it left me a little uncertain LOL...



I started all this when their was no fix for some of the trouble I was having with CEL's and the truck would just not go through a complete regen cycle as it should.



I don't have a problem sharing this stuff I have made and how I made them, long as I don't do so and get into trouble with the site here too???



I will say that my truck now runs way better now, than it ever has and does get a little better fuel mileage from doing this also. The fuel mileage is still not what I was told and feel it should be, but I am still working on the truck also:)



I have had all the flashes and even the brandy new AU flash as of this past Friday... I hope to get my new straight piped intake finished and working this week-end. Its going to use the OEM filter housing as I am not a big fan of the filter's you can wash and re-use on any of my diesels.



I need the room where the OEM filter housing uses this large tube to transfer the cleaned filtered air to the intake of the turbo. So, I am making a straight pipe setup for this as well. It will allow more of the turbo whistle or whine when running than the OEM tube but, I like to listen to the talk-back from the turbo anyway. I am also sure my straight pipe intake tube will flow the incoming air much more smoothly for the turbo to feed on too...



Would love to share what I have been making as well as the how I do all this with art work(PIC's) long as its not against forum rules...



I want my truck getting the best fuel mileage and be able to tow whatever I see fit to haul off and run a hole in the wind if need be, doing so... It can soot the side of my truck and/or trailer doing so too:)

... determines this (repeated) "opinion"-

Not to mention I don't need to have to deal with all the EPA nazi's either:)



Those guys as well as the Al Gore clowny's need not poke around and expect much from me on the quest they are all about. I think they are all about a good cause, just that they are way off track and going about all this the absolute wrong way JMO...



That little dab of black smoke all these motors emit is not that big a deal, its just a little dirty thats all. Oh, yes I forgot to mention the 6. 7 will huff and puff guys LOL. Least mine does now!!! Drive 'um like you stole'em, as mine is now does result in a very nice plume of it:)Keep the EPA nazi's and the Al Gore clownys from killing them with all the crap that doesn't work!!! Focus more on less fossile fuels used. But gee thats JMO



The best way not to have to "deal with" people who have different opinions (and likely different knowledge), is to avoid calling them inflammatory names while repeatedly introducing controversial topics into a discussion of truck mods.



I imagine the "EPA Nazis", and "Clownys" might know less than you about fabricating ductwork, ... but more about some other things.



You, of course, are free to consider yourself a master-of-all-trades (and sciences), but I for one would appreciate your dropping the political "inserts" in your posts. You are stirring a pot that smells up the forum, and is better left alone. Then I won't be prompted to do the same by engaging you, which I do this time with great restraint.



You are also "free" now, to put your truck on a barge, and take it through the ice-free Northwest Passage,... which is a whole new situation. (... but of course you knew that. )



BTW, I find your idea of using "less fossil fuel" interesting, in a "manly" sort of way,... as I picture you cruising at 95 with 27' gooseneck in tow. I take it you mean it is a good idea for "other people".



The "quest" regarding the "good cause" you mention is many faceted,... and unfortunately for those who wish freedom from all restraints(and responsibilities), every one of us has a part in it.



If you don't think so,... we disagree.



My opinion. I don't know about the "just" part.

What does this post have to do with "Can I get rid of my DPF on my 6. 7l 07"?:confused:
 
OK! the man has a point, while we may not agree with the political lingo, currently we are all fighting a battle to get our favourite TOY to get the milage it should. We do not hear anything POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE from Cummins or DC
We do hear a lot of SILENCE or "we are working on it". Where is the action!!
The TOY works BUT it is a long way from the promises.
Nuf Said!!
 
Ouch





Mr. Wolfy,



Sorry dude for affending you and leading you to think I was a master of anything. Never once wanted to start a problem with anyone here dude, and yet I guess I did.



I will go and edit my past post here so as not to affend you and others I am sure now I may have... Was just sharing my warpped idea's on what I have working on my 6. 7 and what I think about the so mentioned parties...



Please keep in mind here the mentioned parties I hoped to affend is just the group as a whole and not so much as a single person or two. I know there are people in these parties that are sure enough a stand up sort of guy, and I am certain are quite the rocket scientist about their said field.



Its just that the group as a whole and what they are putting out as a whole group doesn't work so well for me and mine dude, thats all... Heck I am to the point that I don't trust much if anything our Gov't does anymore. Yes I voted and I vote everytime, but the groups I mentioned here are way out in left field which is fine and all if they bring down the home run!!!



Past track records I seem to remember, was their stuff was lame and didn't work... They take certain bad situations and made them even worse yet. Then we are expected to pay for all this and swallow it like bait. Maybe these groups should give us the products for free and then allow us to help work all the bugs out??? It would sure be a lot easier to swallow all this...



I have repeatedly asked for a new EGR valve as well as the new DPF system for my truck in order to see if I could not make all this right on my truck. The dealer can't as Dodge won't hear of it. The Groups above I have mentioned are so quick to make things an unlawful act, before we have people in the field that can fix all this...



I will in future try to be more tackful about what I put on this forum or maybe just not put it out here at all. I was just going to share what I have working on my truck and how well it does, and what I was going to try next... Sorry

To get back to the main question here and what I have done to my exhaust, do I dare post PIC's of what I did and text of how it works???



If its going to start a problem for a few to understand what I did and how it affects things, I will drop it all together... I got to go an edit my first post on this thread as I said I would too:) Back later'z



Please understand I am not affended at all by this and I certainly don't want this to get in a heated mess. This is a great forum and Wolfy was right in what I posted to be affensive. I should have never posted all that stuff and just asked if I can put up what I have working and how well it does or not...
 
#@$%!WOW#@$%!:confused:



My 07. 5 is doing great.

I am towing 25,000#s plus and the DPF is DPFin'. And it aien't cummin off.



#ad




I am going to limit myself to maybe six words I can spell on this one.

I definitely would like to know. As many problems as I have been having maybe I can take the DPF off until they get the kinks worked out.

Give it a rest! tired of hearing the enviro crap! This thread is not about the enviroment, it's about taking the all the BS parts off the truck that don't work right!

Jeb,



My two (more) cents:



I think your truck modification reports are appropriate and many members will be interested in what you accomplish. Please do not hesitate to post what you are doing and learning.



I appreciate your willingness to drop the name-calling.



Remember that I am not a moderator,... only another member with an opinion.



Best wishes ;)
 
Jeb,



Lay it on us. The whole reason I frequent this site is for info. I don't have the ability or desire to experiment on my own at the level you have so I rely on pioneers like you to help me see the possibilities. Dang (word modified after my sensitivity training) I am curious about your mods. Say whatever you want however you want... the basis of freedom is the ability of individuals to ignore what we disagree with or are offended by. If you are not comfortable posting pics and info publicly because of legalities please send me a pm!! Keep up the experiments and keep us posted.
 
Jeb,



Just PM it to me and i'll post ... :)



then i'll be the hero of the 6. 7 straight pipe crowd ...



we'll call it the 2broke straight pipe mod ... :-laf



seriously though ...



i've got a freind who will do it next weekend on both his trucks if you can straight pipe it with no problems ...



i'm asked at least once a week if i could straight pipe someones 6. 7 truck ...
 
My DPF's were just replaced. Two days later the light is back on. Wish they would have a recall to take all this crap off that don't work! Love to do it myself but need more of what some of you already know.
 
Jeb, lay it on us. Some People get offended really easy over others "opinions" and guess what? Oh well! You cant make everyone happy and that just how it is. If they are not interested in the thread they don't have to read it. No need for you to apologize IMO to overly sensitive people. Keep up the good work.
 
If your posts arent welcomed here, you can go to a number of other forums that will welcome your posts with welcomed arms (including your political views [funny how that's not a problem if they agree with your views, and is a big problem if they think differently]).

Just let us know where you want to go...
 
Mr. Wolfy



I would have addressed this the same if you was a moderator here or not really. It always best if we all can work together and through things like this. So after the fact, it was the least I could do by just removing all the stuff so offensive...



Guys I will make a few posts here of PIC's with what I have working right now. You do need to understand I just got the new "AU" flash and not at all sure how this will affect my truck with it being so different. By the end of this next week I should have those questions answered also.



The first PIC is a view from the front looking back, you can see the flange up to the OEM downpipe, which I have all the stuff to change it out also, just wanted to go in steps here and not just shotgun the whole system at once...



#ad




The next is the other side showing some of the taps for the ECU...

#ad


Next is looking forward from the flanges at the downpipe. I do plan to keep all the flanges so that everything is easy off and on, I actually plan to put another set of flanges at the back to help the axle roll over and tail pipe section come in and out easier... Just have not got to that yet either LOL... My working gets in the way of all this LOL.

#ad


Here on this next one is the spool out section of the first filter that was in line. Shows some more of the taps for the ECU...

#ad


The next three PIC's are of the working part that allows for the system to see a difference in exhaust pressure and temps at the different taps... Its a rifling vein that puts the flow in a spin... The one shot in the PIC's I made as a mock up to show what I used to get the task done. There is many other ways to do this in pipe work for different things you would be flowing.

#ad


#ad


#ad


These show what I placed in serval places to get the differences needs to make everything somewhat happy with itself. At least enough so that no safe mode, limp home or whatever you want to call it...



I plan to get the BullyDog PMT system for this 6. 7 if they will ever release it. It would surely help to be able to see what the codes are and reset things working on all this stuff. Its been somewhat a challenge to say the least.



I have a working intake tube on the truck now to also give a test this next week. I removed the transfer tube between the air filter box and the turbo. Once this all gets worked out I plan to remove the oil draft hose that funnels the plume of blow by from the top of the head right straight through the turbo. I want this to puke into the down pipe to be burned off. I hate all the oil residue in the turbo intake as its a bad place for this to gather...



The extra room I also gained by removing the OEM intake tube here will allow me to lateral in the flow from the intercooler to the cooler-bypass valve. Which in turn feeds the EGR valve. This will be a clean air and not the plume from the exhaust manifold that feeds the EGR system now.



Want know if this will work as I hope, but its something I plan to try out. Its on down the list to do, but its on the list also:) Any and all idea's are welcome here also, as I have no idea what works on this till I try it:) This is the first 6. 7 I have messed around with, for that matter its the first Dodge I have ever owned also. Always been a Ford Guy and have helped more than a few Ford guys with the different trucks as they came along. So this Dodge 6. 7 and one other will make my second, so any idea's are more than welcome...
