Does anyone know if the ECU being "locked down" potentially hurt their sales? I'm not saying that's the case, more just generally curious. I know I would never buy a truck I couldn't delete.

People who buy a truck with the direct intention of deleting are probably less than 1% of their market sales so no I seriously doubt it hurt them one bit

I agree, but a lot of people will be happy with stock until they have emission problem out of warranty. It then becomes an easy choice to delete, or am I giving people to much credit to think that far ahead?

I would say a good 80% of trucks I see around here are deleted. Except for fleet rigs. Then again I live on the MS gulf coast. AKA the land of the redneck with no emissions test.

Lol pretty sure this is #Fakenews:happy2:
I really hope it’s not because the L5p is sweet and would love to trade the Lly for one but unless I can hear that turbo scream and shut down a mustang it’s not going to happen :thumb:

How keep their trucks past 100k any ways josh? I'd say more than 50% of trucks sold are flipped for new before 100k mark



Maybe so, but someone is buying those trucks.

I fit the keeping emissions crap to keep warranty category myself. Even though I would love to delete. It’s a cost vs risk thing for me. As I no longer use my truck for work downtime is a manageable price to pay as long as the repairs are covered by warranty.

If I still have it when it’s off warranty though that crap is coming off.
