DPF Install

[Vintage Racer]

Curious as to the how difficult the installation of the DPF replacement pipe is. Will be heading to FL soon where I only have basic handtools. Current location has air tools, torch, gobs of hand tools......

Can I wait until I get to FL and get it done with a simple setup or will I need the full kit of tools?

It was kind of a pain...we had to use a torch to heat up the back of the DPF where it was connected to the MBRP adapter, and also i took off my exaust hanger from the frame...dont think you really need it for the 20lb pipe cuz the DPF was like 100 lmao but other than that it wasnt really too much trouble...also make sure u see the bolt on the very top it has 2 nuts on it not just one, theres a bracket inbetween the 2 nuts for a sensor, we messed up and left that bolt in and when we pulled it down bent a temp sensor inside the cat, but i guess its a temp sensor and bending it wont hurt i hope

I thought it was super easy....15mm for the clamp...13mm GOOD wrench for the sensors, and I forget what size for the bolts at the DPF....if your doing a full delete I think the bolts at the downpipe are 13mm or 14mm forget..block of wood to pound on the exhaust to help slide it apart.

Yeah, we are sitting at the house waiting on the rain...its not gonna do anything to us here.


I actually installed my Cat/Dpf today so I can take my truck into the dealer...got an issue that arose.

[OOWeaver68]

whats the deal with your truck, yea me and my buddy just got back, we left friday to katy for a birthday party, didnt look like anything was gonna happen so we just got back earlier, so we are gonna drink and bbq

I got a no start issue...not a dead issue...it cranks for the 10 second deal then fires off but wont start...un cool....seems like maybe a fuel issue...like filters I hope.

I can hear the pump running, but its not starting...and in the process I was going to pull the filter under the hood, so I put the socket on, started to take it off and it went about 1/4 turn, then the damn center, where the socket goes fucking broke off...so now I gotta find a fuel filter cap BEFORE I can even bring it into the dealer...lol...when it rains it fucking pours.

try a ratchet strap, it'll pull the exhaust apart and squeeze it back together.
