Tuning: Detroit Diesel Dpf Delete
Diesel particulate filter (DPF) removal, commonly referred to as “DPF Delete,” is a comprehensive modification procedure applied to Detroit Diesel engines to remove the particulate filtration component from the exhaust aftertreatment system. This process involves physical hardware modification and electronic software recalibration to address operational issues inherent to the DPF system, primarily on engines from the DD13, DD15, DD16, and EGR Series 60 platforms.
The primary function of the DPF is to trap soot particles from the exhaust stream to meet EPA-mandated emissions standards (post-2007). As the filter becomes loaded with soot, it must undergo a periodic regeneration cycle. During this process, the Engine Control Module (ECM) initiates a post-combustion fuel injection, either into the cylinder or directly into the exhaust via a dedicated proportioner, to raise the exhaust gas temperature to approximately 538°C (1000°F).
This incinerates the trapped soot in a smaller volume of residual ash. While effective for emissions control, these regeneration cycles are a significant source of operational inefficiency. They consume additional fuel, disrupt vehicle work cycles for up to 40 minutes, and subject the turbocharger, exhaust manifolds, and valves to extreme and repeated thermal stress, which could affect long-term reliability.
The physical removal process involves dismantling and unscrewing or cutting the DPF cartridge from the exhaust system. Typically replaced with a section of straight pipe or a high-performance muffler.The engine control module (ECM) will immediately detect the absence of the DPF and its associated differential pressure sensors, triggering critical fault codes and reducing engine power to limp-home mode.
Therefore, the second crucial phase is the electronic removal of the DPF system from the engine management software. This is achieved by updating the ECM with customized performance settings. This specialized software performs several key functions: it permanently disables all active and passive regeneration cycles, removes the DPF pressure sensor monitoring algorithms, and recalibrates the fuel injection maps to account for the eliminated exhaust back pressure.

Tuning: EGR Delete Detroit Diesel
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) removal is a major modification procedure for Detroit Diesel engines, designed to eliminate the operational and mechanical complications associated with the EGR system. This process, applicable to key engine platforms such as the EGR-equipped Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15, DD16, and later Series 60 models, involves the physical removal of EGR components and a fundamental recalibration of the engine’s electronic control module (ECM). The primary technical objective is to prevent the recirculation of soot and exhaust contaminants into the engine’s intake stream.
The primary function of the EGR system is to reduce the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by lowering combustion temperatures. This is achieved by directing a metered portion of the exhaust gases from the exhaust manifold, through an EGR cooler, and back to the intake manifold. While effective for emissions compliance, this process presents several inherent problems. Recirculated exhaust gases contain soot, unburned hydrocarbons, and acidic compounds.
Over time, this causes significant carbon buildup in the intake system, on the intake valves, and particularly in the EGR cooler and the valve itself. This buildup restricts intake airflow, reduces engine efficiency, and can cause erratic EGR valve operation. Furthermore, in applications with high-sulfur fuel or prolonged idling, the combination of these contaminants with condensation can form highly corrosive acids that degrade the EGR cooler, which can lead to coolant leaks in the intake or cylinders, potentially causing severe engine damage due to hydrolock.
The EGR removal process consists of two stages. The first is physical and involves removing the EGR valve, the EGR cooler, and associated piping. The system is shut down by blocking the exhaust and intake manifold ports with machined block-off plates to keep the system sealed. This physically prevents the rerouting of exhaust gases.
However, physical removal alone is not enough. The engine’s electronic control module (ECM) is programmed to actively control and monitor the EGR system. If it detects the absence of EGR components or an incorrect flow reading, it will log critical fault codes and reduce engine power to protect the system. Therefore, the second, and most critical, step is electronic. The Detroit Diesel engine’s ECM must be flashed with a custom calibration file, often called a “clear tune.” This software removes all EGR-related commands, disables EGR valve actuator controls, and removes EGR flow monitoring parameters from the diagnostic logic.
Tuning: Detroit diesel DEF,SCR Delete
Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system removal is a component removal and calibration modification process for Detroit Diesel engines. This procedure, applicable to DD13, DD15, DD16, and Series 60 engines equipped with advanced aftertreatment, involves the physical removal of SCR components and the electronic deactivation of the DEF dosing system. The primary objective is to eliminate the operational burden, consumables costs, and failure points associated with the NOx reduction system.
The SCR system is the final stage of the modern emissions control process. Its function is to break down nitrogen oxides (NOx), a byproduct of high-temperature combustion, into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. This chemical reaction is facilitated by a catalyst within the SCR canister and requires a precise reductant: DEF. DEF is a mixture of urea and deionized water stored in a dedicated tank and injected as a fine mist into the exhaust stream before the SCR catalyst.
Engine control modules meticulously monitor the quality and quantity of the DEF. If the DEF tank level is depleted, quality is compromised, or any system component fails, the engine’s electronic controls will issue a series of increasingly frequent warnings, ultimately resulting in a drastic reduction that drastically limits vehicle speed and power to ensure regulatory compliance.
Physical removal involves disabling the DEF system. This includes removing the DEF injection nozzle from the exhaust pipe, removing or rerouting the DEF supply lines, and often removing the DEF tank and metering pump.
The second part involves installing a custom calibration file in the engine’s electronic control module (ECM) and aftertreatment control module (if standalone). This “erase configuration” performs several essential functions: it permanently disables all commands to the metering pump and DEF injector, removes the monitoring algorithms for the DEF tank level and fluid quality sensors, and clears the NOx sensor monitoring and diagnostic trouble codes associated with the SCR system.
The software recalibrates the engine to operate without DEF-dependent aftertreatment, avoiding power reduction strategies and ensuring normal engine operation.
The immediate technical benefits of this elimination are the elimination of DEF-related costs, both for the fluid itself and for the maintenance of vulnerable components such as heated lines, pumps, and injectors, which are prone to freezing or clogging. It also eliminates the risk of being immobilized due to a DEF system failure.
How much does it cost to delete a DD15 engine?
The cost of deleting a DD15 engine can vary significantly depending on several factors. One of the primary considerations is the year and model of the Detroit truck equipped with the DD15 engine. Different models and production years may have varying requirements for the deletion process, which can affect the overall cost. Additionally, the software version of the engine’s ECM plays a crucial role in determining the price, as certain versions may require more complex tuning and adjustments.
