Cummins ISM DPF Delete: Performance and Efficiency

Cummins ISM engine is known for its durability and efficiency in commercial trucking. The Cummins engine, particularly models like the CM875/876 used in ISM, QSM, and M11 engines, is often the focus of tuning and delete services. But one common issue operators face is the maintenance of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

The DPF system, while important for emissions reduction, often leads to reduced performance, increased fuel consumption, and expensive repairs over time. Allowing the removal or disabling of certain components like the DPF and EGR systems can improve performance and reduce error codes. So many fleet managers and truck owners consider a for the Cummins ISM.

In this article we’ll go over what a is, the benefits and the steps involved and what to consider.

What is a Cummins ISM DPF Delete?

A DPF delete is removing the diesel particulate filter from the exhaust system of your Cummins ISM engine. This system is specifically designed to enhance engine performance by eliminating the restrictions caused by the DPF. This also includes disabling other emissions-related systems like the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems. In essence, the DPF delete restores the engine’s original performance by removing the restrictions caused by these components.

An EGR delete involves removing the exhaust gas recirculation system, which can enhance fuel economy, performance, and engine longevity by reducing maintenance issues related to emissions systems.

For my clients, I have done 100% remote service DPF deletes using tested solutions that can be done without bringing the vehicle into the shop. By using platforms like TeamViewer or AnyDesk, I can do the tuning quickly and one of the major advantages is the engine can always be returned to its original state before programming if needed.

Benefits of a DPF Delete for Cummins ISM

Here are the benefits of a Cummins ISM DPF delete:

Improved Fuel Efficiency

The DPF and related systems make Cummins engines work harder, which leads to increased fuel consumption. Once the DPF is removed, fuel efficiency can improve significantly, offering cost savings especially for long haul operators. Additionally, removing the DPF can improve the reliability of Cummins engines and reduce maintenance issues.

Restored Engine Power

The ISM engine’s power output is often restricted by the emissions systems. A DPF delete removes those restrictions and allows Cummins engines to run at their full potential, which results in better performance, faster acceleration, and improved towing capacity. This also helps the engine to run cooler, enhancing overall performance.

Less Downtime

When the DPF system gets clogged or malfunctions, it can lead to extensive downtime for repairs. A DPF delete minimizes the chances of engine failures and keeps your truck on the road and productive. Owners are experiencing significant benefits such as improved fuel economy and reduced maintenance issues after a DPF delete.

The Process of a Cummins ISM DPF Delete

The DPF delete process is straightforward but requires precision:

ECU Reprogramming

The first step is to reprogram the Engine Control Unit (ECU). The ECU is updated to stop monitoring the DPF system, prevent error codes and keep the engine operating smoothly without the emissions system. Reprogramming the ECU is a crucial step because it ensures that the vehicle’s computer system no longer checks for the DPF, allowing the engine to operate without triggering any warning lights or entering limp mode. This process requires specialized software and expertise to ensure that the engine continues to function optimally. For remote services, I can use TeamViewer to connect directly to your vehicle’s ECU and do the tuning in a matter of hours.

Physical Removal of the DPF

Once the ECU is reprogrammed, the next step is to physically remove the DPF component from the exhaust system. This involves taking out the filter and replacing it with a section of pipe, often referred to as a straight pipe, to maintain the exhaust flow. Many owners opt for a straight pipe to replace the DPF to improve exhaust flow and notice a big increase in performance. The removal of the DPF can lead to a significant reduction in backpressure, allowing the engine to breathe more freely and operate more efficiently.

Optional EGR and SCR Deletes

While not always necessary, some owners choose to delete the SCR systems along with the DPF. These systems also restrict performance and can lead to long-term maintenance issues. The EGR system, which recirculates a portion of the exhaust back into the engine, can cause soot buildup and reduce engine efficiency. By removing these components, the engine can run cooler and more efficiently, reducing the likelihood of issues related to soot and carbon buildup. Removing them ensures a cleaner engine and less maintenance over time. Additionally, with fewer components to maintain, the vehicle’s reliability can improve, reducing the hassle and costs associated with frequent repairs.

In my experience customers often prefer remote services because they are convenient, fast and come with tested solutions that can always revert back to the original setup. I always make sure clients are satisfied with the solution and fully aware of the process.

Is a Cummins ISM DPF Delete Legal?

While the Cummins ISM DPF delete can bring many benefits it’s important to understand that it may not be legal in all regions. In the US for example the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has strict emissions standards and tampering with or removing emissions controls like the DPF, EGR and SCR systems can result to fines or penalties.However for trucks used or in a DPF delete may be allowed. Please check local regulations and consider the implications before doing a delete.

Alternatives to a Cummins ISM DPF Delete

If a DPF delete is not an option for you due to legal reasons there are alternatives to improve your engine’s performance:

DPF Cleaning Regular DPF cleanings can extend the life of the filter and prevent performance degradation. Professional cleaning services can restore the DPF to near-new condition and delay the need for a delete.

Regular Regenerations Stay on top of your truck’s regeneration cycles to prevent the DPF from clogging and maintain performance.

High-Quality Fuel and Oil Premium diesel fuels and engine oils can reduce the amount of soot and emissions your engine produces and extend the life of the DPF system.
