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!
