Choosing the right delete kit for your diesel truck is crucial to ensure you get the best performance, reliability, and fuel efficiency gains. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make the right decision based on your truck’s needs and your goals.

1. Truck’s Year and Make

Not all delete kits are universal. Kits are designed specifically for your truck’s make, model, year, and engine type. Whether you’re driving a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram, a Duramax-equipped Chevy or GMC, or a Ford Powerstroke, ensure the kit is fully compatible with your vehicle. Make sure to see our "INFO" section on each kit to double check it works on your truck. If you have questions, shoot us an email 7 days a week.

2. Decide What Stage Delete Kit Works Best For You

Stage 1, 2 or 3 Delete kits typically will delete all of the below:

  • DPF Delete: Removes the Diesel Particulate Filter, improving exhaust flow, horsepower, and fuel efficiency.
  • EGR Delete: Eliminates the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system, reducing soot buildup and improving engine reliability.
  • DEF Delete: Disables the Diesel Exhaust Fluid system, saving on DEF costs and simplifying maintenance.

    If your goal is maximum performance, Full Delete Kits includes everything you need to remove all emissions systems in one package and can be bought in stage 1, 2 or 3 depnding on budget and needs.

3. Tuning Information

A proper delete tune is essential to ensure your truck runs smoothly after removing emissions systems. Look for kits that include custom delete tuners or allow you to choose horsepower levels and performance settings tailored to your needs, such as towing, daily driving, or high-performance applications.

4. Budget For Delete

  • Daily Drivers and Work Trucks: A DPF delete with a moderate tune is often sufficient.
  • Enthusiasts or Heavy-Duty Users: Consider a full exhaust replacement with advanced tuning for the best performance.

Conclusion

The best delete kit for your truck depends on your vehicle, driving habits, and goals. Whether you’re after more power, better towing, or improved fuel efficiency, the right kit will transform your diesel truck.
