Mean Green Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 its better to fix the problem rather than delete it I see too many trucks coming into work having to reinstall everything after a delete cause they got caught .Better to be in the poor house than the big house 1 1 Quote If your going to be a bear be a grizzly Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69431-dpf-emulator/#findComment-493385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Also to add, your not gonna get any positive info on deletes here. We don’t know anything about them and majority of us are against it because of the problems it creates believe it or not.

2014pinnacle Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 Thanks guys I think I’m going to end up selling it I just spent $2500 to replace the def sending unit the def filter needs to be cleaned and lower dpf housing is cracked theirs another $2500 to fix. I just put a new transmission techu in it that was $2500. I can’t have this thing continuing to break down and I refuse to put more money into an emissions system that’s designed to fail. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69431-dpf-emulator/#findComment-493426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup ALL these New trucks Mack Or Any other make are designed to keep you coming back in one way or the other! and after 5 years they are a crap shoot to own! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69431-dpf-emulator/#findComment-493428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mp8_macky Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Avoid emulators at all cost. You will have lots of issues with them. I did think they could be more cost effective solution than tuning, boy I was wrong... Do a proper DPF delete tuning on your Mack and you will be good. Again, I am mentioning company that saved me from bankrupt almost 10 years ago (a little less). https://truckecmtunes.com/mack-dpf-egr-def-scr-delete.html Direct link to web site https://truckecmtunes.com/ Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69431-dpf-emulator/#findComment-549897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjh Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 So Macky Who does your work now if you have other engine or chassis issues?! A lot of dealers won't touch a deleted truck ! Just sayin ! What happens when you have to plug in to check something other than emission related faults !( example ) Say to do injector cups and change Trim codes ? What happens then? just asking! I get haveing rid of this crap however there are other things to consider , just saying Let everyone see the big picture here! I'm interested! I am Not by any means being negative of your choice to delete just would like to know how you deal with these other issues that arise ! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69431-dpf-emulator/#findComment-549905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heinz Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 We've had some deleted trucks come in, but our service team (of course) didn't realize they were deleted until we looked into them. We didn't do any engine work except one that tricked them (us): the guy's tune killed the ECM and we diagnosed it as such. We didn't replace but instead told him where he could find an aftermarket one and had him buy it. One of our techs installed it for cash on the side after hours if I remember right. I despise emissions systems and frequently talk about the delete process with pickup friends, even deleted the EGR on a 2011 6.7 Cummins, but I can't approve of doing it to a semi. I'd love to see an MP8 running as efficiently as possible to bring back some of the reliability Mack used to be known for, but the amount of trouble you get in for getting caught is horrible. Local guys have declared bankruptcy because of it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69431-dpf-emulator/#findComment-549973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
