    I have 3 trucks 2010 Petebuilts with cummins PAX8 engine,

    The running in Africa imported from USA, I am having problems with DPF system, we can not get Def all the time and thinking about removing this system,

    I have read you can get a reflash on the ECM to disable the DPF system,
    now does this affect the EGR system and SCR system ?

    Will I have to remove them, we have no restrictions on emissions out here so no worrys.

    Can i modify all the above items and still have a decent truck its a 2010 but less then 5000 miles got a good deal.

    Can i get the ECU remapped with out the performance like the ecu PDI sales

    If I get the EGR blanked off will I need to replace the turbo and exhaust manifold

    thanks for the help

    Pdi can reflash to eliminate that stuff without bumping the power up. Most guys see no sense paying for a retune without bumping the power atleast a little bit for easier drive and better economy

    yeah it makes sense but where the trucks run there will not use all that power

    Hi Shaunp05's

    If your going to do anything all get rid of all the emission stuff and have them tune it for Economy. You'll still get a bit more power then what you have now, but you'll improve on MPG big time.

    We have had many engines done by Diesel Spec with excellent results.

    Thanks for the reply guys, I have called Diesel Spec and there have told me there do not have a map yet ready for the truck and the year should be out in a few weeks.

    Called ecm performance and there told me that the can remap the ecu and I dont need to do anything els mech to motor, carry on using the turbo and exhaust manifold.

    Spoke to PDI and the told me that the can remap the ECU but I will need to replace the Turbo and manifold as its the VTG Turbo ??? over 10K ???

    No do I need to do all the work ? all I want is the remap done to get rid of the DPF, dont need a performance upgrade,

    Been told the EGR can just be disconnected and the will be no EML on the dash ?
