These systems will not ruin an engine. They do however cause problems, the 5.9 cummins did not have. Mainly emissions related.

Delete kits are getting hard to find. Its also against the law. Some dealerships will give you a hard time, if you need warranty work.

Ditch the damn 6.7 and buy a 2nd gen or an early CR Cummins.

the deletes are not hard to find, its the tuner to reprogram the truck is getting hard to find. the 6.7 tuned and deleted is a fantastic motor, and comon rail is the way to go.
