Stock SWR 2017 3500 68RFE with around 18,000 miles on it. I have a factory extended warranty on it until 2024/100,000 miles.

Questions:

1. Why is EGRLess tuning not for trucks with over 50,000 miles on it?
- from what i read, it is because the half life of the exhaust parts (DPF, and Exhaust system) is already at 50% spent or more, and doing an EGRLess will put more soot into it and quickly kill the downstream components?
- if that is true, then if i put a EGRLess on my truck now, then does that mean when I hit 50,000 miles i am at risk of... ??

2. I haul a 20 foot 16,000k trailer, and a 32 foot travel trailer, and i DD this truck. Towing at 30HP, (the recommendation) will I be hurting/killing my truck? I don't understand what implications are here with this..

3. Warranty - basically I am voiding my warranty?

I think that's it for now. Thanks so much for you patience.

Cheers
Here is my two cents.

Yes EGRless is hard on the DPF if you try to hot rod around all the time on high settings.

Turning off the egr was cause less soot. The egr causes a less complete burn hence causing more soot. Without the egr you will have a more complete burn and less soot(when on low setting)

Now the more complete burn will cause more Nox gasses causing the higher use of DEF.

As for the 68RFE. If you keep you power settings down and don't beat on the truck the tranny will go 100k with no problems.

Like I said just my 2 cents from having several diesels and knowing the engineering that goes into the exhaust systems. These systems get even better in the coal industry. Haha
