I'm leaving mine alone FOR NOW.
My fuel economy is around 24 mpg on the interstate and 90% of my driving is non towing/hauling lengthy (5+ hours) interstate driving. I'm only using about 5 gallons of DEF every 10K miles. Plus I've got a 10 year / 120,000 miles bumper to bumper which I'll pretty much void if I delete.
Only way I'd consider it is if nuisance emission CELs cause me down time and I've yet to get one through 2 years and 24k miles...

10-4 the thing with the that is I'm going to be using it mainly for work and highway miles. I'm a pilot/escort that moves oversized loads and last year bought a 15' Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 for my girlfriend, that does the same thing, and just over one year we've put 70k on her truck. So in the same two years you put 24k on yours I'll be over the 100k warranty in no time. So I've got time to save up for a delete and find one that'll work for me as I don't really want the power so much just the fuel savings and some more towing capability

Yea I've decided to not delete it for now, because I don't have the money to void the warranty. But I know that it will come with time and with that time I'll be able to have the money saved up for everything I need for it, if I have no problems with the system. Then I'll just leave it be

Hey thanks for the reply primem, I just didn't want my Cummings eating all that soot. My truck is off warranty. I had read on one of these threads that unplugging the egr would stop the soot from being sucked into my engine and would extend the engine life. I live up here in COLD Manitoba and we need our autostart. I thought there might have been a solution but if not I can let it eat soot for the winter.
