Hi Every one! I'm new here
My Truck: 2013 GMC Duramax LML, around 90.000Km have check engine light, scanned DEF Heater is the culprit, now as per my GM Dealer she is out of warranty, i will have to pay for all repair cost and truck must stay at Service Bay 3 or more days - (not acceptable, its my work truck)

OK: I found a guy, who can Delete DPF and put a pipe, delete EGR, delete DEF functions from engine computer and re-program with 3 Tunes for $1300.00

It little pricey for me, however, is that a good deal?
Or should i buy EFI Live and email delete/tune the Truck my self?

what else / issues i should watch out for, when they do all that ?


I live in Ontario, Canada.


Any and All inputs: Thank you in Advance.

Emissions equipment is covered under a government mandated warranty that far exceeds the factory warranty.

I can't remember the exact terms but I'm pretty sure it's something like 7 years and maybe 200k miles or something like that.

^^^^Exactly what he said. But if you're looking to delete anyway... $1300 seems pretty high. But up here I see people getting away with it. It boggles my mind. If I was in your situation, I'd buy a V2 and have tunes emailed to you via a reputable tuner here.

Was the 1300$ for a full exhaust and delete tunes or just the delete pipe and tunes?

1300$ for DEF delete, (DPF replacement shorter pipe) , EGR delete (install that blocking plate) then tune.

so yes Just a delete pipe and tunes

Full exhaust $400-$600
EGR blocker plate $20
EFI Live autoCAL with tunes $600


All figures in US dollars and ballpark from last time I noticed the prices

If you have about a hour a ratchet strap and an open end wrench you can do the egr delete yourself. A shop should only charge around $200 to install an exhaust and takes about thirty minutes sitting in the seat of your truck to install efi live. :)

Edit: ratchet strap and wrench worked on my LLY idk about them newer trucks I haven't seen the EGR setup.

I got a full 5" flo pro and auto cal with delete tunes for under 1300$ from a vender here. Im told that a blocker plate isn't needed on stockish lml's due to a stronger valve (someone might verify that?).

Edit: just realized your in canada, maybe shipping is a big factor?

I just did a full egr delete, went 90000 miles with just delete tuning and my intake and heads were still clean so don't think full egr delete necessary on lml

OK DEF / DPF / EGR / CAT deleted, from Turbo all the way straight pipe, yes its little loud, but lots of turbo whooish...whooish

HWY Millage was 16/100L now 11/100L cool
City stop and Go 13.5/100L

i feel, little bit lag at stop light then go, but once going everything is good, may be i must buy EFI live V2 and tune a bit

now you pros guide to buy V2 and some good tunes please

thank you!

You deleted without tuning it? I bet you have one pissed off truck. Eventually you will be in limp mode.

$1300 for everything installed isn't that high but it's not cheap.

No, we deleted everything and he put some HP tunes, everything is running OK so far.

but I want to tune with EFI live, cause I heard good thing about it and trucks runs very good

it that true?

sorry for asking stupid question?
I am new to tuning
