DPF Regen too often?

The edge tuner will make more soot than the stock tuning no matter what setting it's on, so you will regen more often with it on versus stock. Thats why it's so impractical to tune a truck when it still has the DPF. Like mentioned above, since you've tuned it, your warrany is already gone, so you've got nothing to lose by getting rid of the DPF. Plus your mileage will be way better with the DPF gone.

Nicely said!!! X2!!!

Give the guy a break. His warranty is intact, until it has been violated at the dealer level. It takes a person making a decision to void a warranty. Unless it is on the computer as void, it is still there.

Instead consider what we DO know: When you remove the DPF, you accomplish at least 2 negative things. You pollute more, and go into noncompliance of a federal statute. Optionally, the dealer may decide not to honor your warranty any longer, in some cases, until it is put back on. Since it is usually inspected for most warranty work, and easy to detect (compared to tuning), you may want to rethink how you will proceed.

I just figured these "facts" might matter to how you proceed.

I personally do not concern myself with warranty compliance in my own vehicles, but others might. On a personal level, my freedom is more important than being held prisoner with warranty terms, but YMMV.
