Do you think they are more or less dependable than the models that weren't equipped with it.

In my honest opinion they are less reliable. The early ones were problematic. The EPA shutdown the sale of tuners to do a DPF delete, so if buy an older pickup unless you can find a shop that will do a DPF and def delete tune for the truck. -

I have a '97 F250 and a '03 F350. Both 7.3 and great trucks. They're not for sale and I intend to drive them until I just can't keep them together. (that should be a long, long time)DrtyDiesel and silver dollar Thank this. -
DEF and DPF delete is illegal here, but usually no one check it. CEL off - truck is OK
DrtyDiesel Thanks this. -
I had a 2007, 2008, and 2010 GMC with the duramax and now have a 2011 and two 2012. One is my 2012 3/4 ton GMC that I run around in personally and the other 2 are one 2011 and one 2012 one ton dumps. The 2007 truck was great but it was time to send it down the road. The 2008 and 2010 sucked down fuel like crazy. Some problems with the 2008 and 2010 but all were fixed under warranty. I got the 2011 one ton to replace the 2008 first because we plow with them so I dump them at 150,000 miles. It was the first truck that I have had with the DEF fluid and we love them. Only way they could make them better is to dump all the junk on them but if we have to have it I would take a 2011 or newer over a 2008-2010 all day long. My 2011 has just his 120,000 miles and I think we will try and run them all 200K+
DrtyDiesel Thanks this.
