Ahhh, that fresh Houston air! Let your kids breathe it!
I deleted my 6.4 at 18K on the clock and never seen any fuel/oil dilution after that. Seriously the truck was in mint condition until I seen a drop of coolant and got nervous. It was just a coolant hose at the back of the horizontal EGR cooler after pressure testing but my go to diesel guy said to get rid of it asap as it could be a ticking bomb. He got me all nervous. I was going to wait on the 7.3 gas but I never want to buy anything that is a 1st year production so that nixed that and then the 2020 6.7 is getting a significant redesign on the fuel side with even higher (36k psi) injection pressures and a vvt so that made me nervous too.
Yes, deleting eliminated the fuel dilution on my 6.7. And my oil does not become black as coal instantly anymore. And wear is lower. And engine is much more reliable and will probably last twice as long. Steward of reality.
