Hey folks,
I'm new to the GM world from Ford :surprise: I searched for a while for an answer but don't see any threads pertaining to my particular question.
I just ordered an EFI Live Autocal with "off road only" tunes along with a downpipe back exhaust that deletes the DPF. The problem is the exhaust is backordered and won't be in for a couple weeks but my Autocal will be in tomorrow and I'm going on a 700 mile round trip this weekend so I'd really like to run the tunes for better fuel mileage.
Question is, has anyone run a DPF delete tune with the stock exhaust still on? I don't think it'll cause any issues initially but I'm not sure if the DPF will clog enough in those 700 miles to prevent exhaust flow.
I know the smart thing to do is to wait until the exhaust comes on but everyone knows how us big children are with new toys, we have to use it as soon as we get it and can't leave tings be oke[1]: buuuuuut if it's going to cause a lot of issues I guess I could wait until the exhaust finally comes in to install the tunes
