    Tune for Delete

    So I've decided to delete the EGR and DPF/DEF and have all the parts ordered. After watching the install online, it's super easy EXCEPT I don't have a good grasp on the tune/programmer. I can install the parts but here are my possible routes for tune/program, but questions for each...

    1. Buy a program/tune and do it myself. I'm doing this for truck longevity and not racing, so as far as I'm concerned I only need to do the programming once.
    --- Which programmer and tune can I look into that's cost effective just for the sake of removing EGR and DPF?
    2. Rent a programmer, tune it and send it back
    --- Same as above, which programmer?
    3. Take it to a local shop that's willing to install all the parts and have them program it.
    --- Can I install all the parts and then drive to and have the shop tune it? Or does it all need to be done at once?

    Thanks in advance for the help, really looking forward to learning from everyone!

    Tell us more about your truck. You can rule out renting a programmer as I’ve never heard of that and 99% of shops won’t or don’t have the know how to do it.

    Sorry about that, completely forgot! I have several places that will loan me(with core charge) a programmer but I'd still need to do the tune. I have a 2014 Ram 2500. I bought an EGR Delete Kit(https://www.ppei.com/shop/2009-2018-...r-upgrade-kit/) and a Turbo Back Exhaust System(https://www.ppei.com/shop/2013-2018-...uffler-no-tip/).

    First for me, what are they wanting to charge you to rent the programmer minus the core and what platform is it?

    It's a number of different ones and fully refundable. Heck, I can even go to Amazon and get one, tune it and send it back... the only one I felt comfortable buying was the RaceMe tuner because it seems pretty straightforward.

    And to answer your platform question, I don't know. I can do mechanical and physical labor but when it gets into the realm of programming, I'm newer to that hence option 3 coming into fruition

    Sounds dishonest and anyone will know you tuned the truck because the tuner become vin locked.

    Makes sense. So then my options are 1 and 3. Thoughts?

    I'm really not opposed to buying my own and doing it that way, but if it's easier and CONSIDERABLY cost efficient then I could bring it to the shop

    Welcome, I would recommend option #1. Install the parts and tunes yourself. Keep the tuner to monitor and record parameters, change power levels and clear any DTC’s you may encounter. You will also be able to reinstall or update your tune or return to stock tune if necessary in the future.
