We are all burning off range grass the last couple of weeks (controlled, and on purpose, no DPF involved) and one of the local volunteer departments shows up with 2008 F350 4x4 brush rig, auto, pto option, bright red!!! Nice truck.
Exhaust tip looked different. I crawl underneath. NO DPF!!! NO CAT!!!! They said it came that way! What the heck??? Mr. Firetruck builder take it off? Ford sells fire trucks with out them (they cause brush fire)??? How ironic would that be?
It sounds like a Detroit and a 747 mixed together. When they high-idle it for pumps it sounds like it is going to take off straight up.. Very cool. I want that.
What gives? Anyone see this also?
Also worthy of mention it had an alternate air intake that runs on outside of truck up the A-post and gets air at top of cab level. Wonder what other mods under that hood there be??? Arrrrrrrr

im guessing it was designed for "off road use only" thereby allowing them to get a truck without a DPF. Just a guess...someone will come along shortly with a better answer
Did it have a factory looking delete pipe? This might be away of using factory parts to get rid of the combo.
It would be funny to see the dealers face when you tell them it's all stock.

No doubt the truck has been "upfitted" by an aftermarket "upfitter". They buy a stock truck off the assembly line and modify it as needed. We had many trucks in the military that were modified this way, we ran JP-5 jet propellant in our diesel Ford pickups that were used on the flightline. The intake snorkel is a great option for off road travel, had it on a Jeep CJ-7.

It was a departments that is about 45 miles away. I do get through there though, and I know one guy on that department. It will take a little time but I WILL get a picture.
I didn't look close enough regarding the delete pipe. It was dark out and I was using a flashlight. They "thought" it came from Ford that way, but who knows. Man would that people cool or what!
I can see it now: I waltz up to the parts counter, flash my SMX Number for Farm/Off Road Use and then hand him the parts numbers for a no-restriction exhaust system. I'm gonna work some more on this.

After reading this post, I called one of my nephews who is a cop. They have 2 K-9 units that are diesel F350's, both 08's, I'm waiting for the pictures. He has a duramax, knows what a dpf is, and says these Ford units DO NOT have the dpf. This is an interesting thread. Hopefully it won't be locked or pulled.
a fire co. about 15 miles from me just got a 08 f550 psd and that hting has all the emission crap on it. i was at one of my customers body shop and they had the bed off waiting for a custom one, so i looked around thinking that it would be a straight pipe like most of their fire trucks but it had one of these pieces of $#it on it.

i know a few firefighters and their trucks have always had the emmitions removed
the locals got a 90's ford diesel brush truck they say your intake would be to keep it dry (streams) they probaly run offroad as idk about where you are but in my area they run offroad in their rigs (yes its the good stuff over 500 ppm) and those things fly with 4.10 rear and no od unit
they can remove the exhust emmitions and that to create the horsepower numbers needed for a unit like that (dont know why gov lets them)

To my knowledge there are four after market companies that can turn of the rejen. The values that the computer receives from Doc/Dpf changes all the time and must do so all the time. If the computer does not get a change in readings it puts the the truck in a fail safe regen mode. The fail safe mode does not turn it's self until the computer has it's happy values for the dpf. Ford does have a dpf delete kit, you can't buy it at your local ford. Ford only lets those special folks get it.
737tdi, the 800 ohm to 1K load on the feedback loop of pins 1 and 2 on the TDI are a WELL KNOW way to load the feedback for larger signal aka more fuel.
I'd don't believe that EVRY (the founder of this mod) would applicate you taking credit for it.

Westro: If it was the Evry mod. than I would not have taken credit for it and if you read the post I said me and friends . It was very similar (and it's where we got the idea of searching ECU inputs for more power or mileage) but using a different input. Before you chastise somebody, ask a question???? We are just putting a magnifying glass on a way to stop regeneration without accessing the computer (thus no warranty problems). Once that is done then a interchangable delete pipe can be installed. I'm not sure it can be done but at least were trying. Regards.
