What happens here

Alex details the modifications made to his previous 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty. These include a 3-inch exhaust, a 175 horsepower engine tune, an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) delete, and a crankcase ventilation reroute. He explains that these modifications significantly boosted the truck's performance, transforming it into a 'beast' compared to a stock truck, especially for towing. He clarifies that while these 'delete' modifications are technically illegal due to environmental regulations, the DOT (Department of Transportation) currently focuses more on shops installing them rather than individual owners. He emphasizes that removing the EGR system prevents carbon buildup in the engine's intake, which extends the engine's lifespan and allows it to 'breathe better'. However, he acknowledges that such modifications void the manufacturer's warranty.

Goal: Explain common performance modifications for diesel trucks and their effects.

tell tell me about the Adaptive Driving what do you know about I don't know much about it other than the fact that the truck and transmission itself gets used to the way you drive it you know your acceleration and how how you hit the gas pedal and then it the transmission shifts to how you drive it is what I am told and I believe now on our other truck that one has been deleted yeah on yep on the white crew cab yeah my old one on the white one how does that handle tell me about what you did tell me about what that changed in it and how you feel about that truck in comparison to the absolute stock here uh so we did we did a 3-in exhaust on it uh 175 horsepower tune EGR Delete crank case ventilation reroute on it and the thing's a freaking Beast I mean you this thing is slow compared to it like you know I mean I could probably have a skid steer on a trailer behind that white truck and still beat this one in a race like that's I'll so that made that much of a difference huge I mean like totally transformed the truck woke it up you know really woke doesn't is it at it is but we were just talking to a shop a guy that works at a shop not going to mention the shop name but he claims that right now the do is mostly after the people that are installing them you know not after the little guys that are using them you'll catch a fix it ticket or or a a muffler uh Delete uh ticket you know for like a noise compliance type deal but I don't think they can come specifically after you for one truck but I I'm also unaware you know it is il legal you know but but it it should be illegal what these people are doing these trucks now when they deleted it did they remove the ability the need for the death 100% yeah so you don't need any DEA anymore no de at all whatsoever yeah and you said it did 175 horsepower so is that additional horsep y on top of what it's already generating yeah so it was we were guess mating probably like 550 horsepower so for you to go back to a gas there would be no way for me driving this around I'm going damn I'd really like to delete it now you know but you got to drive it and make sure it's a good solid truck before you do that and make sure that cuz that voids the warranty right it does yeah yeah definitely voids the warranty but it definitely increases the longevity of your truck because we took the intake off of that white my old truck and it
