FAQs
Q1: How much does it cost to delete a LMM Duramax?
A1: The cost typically ranges from $900–$2,500, depending on whether you buy a full delete kit (DPF, EGR, tuner) or just partial components. Professional installation can add another $500–$1,000.
Q2: How much HP can a LMM Duramax handle?
A2: Stock bottom end Duramax LMM engines are generally safe up to 550–600 horsepower with proper tuning. Beyond that, supporting upgrades (transmission, fuel system, turbo) are recommended.
Q3: How much HP does a DPF delete give?
A3: A DPF delete alone can add 30–50 horsepower when paired with tuning. Combined with an EGR delete and performance tune, gains of 60–100 HP are common.
Q4: Are DEF or DPF delete kits illegal?
A4: Yes. Under U.S. federal law, tampering with emissions equipment is illegal for on-road use. Delete kits are typically sold for off-road, racing, or competition use only.
Q5: What is the lifespan of an LMM Duramax?
A5: With proper maintenance, the 6.6L Duramax LMM can last 300,000–400,000 miles. Deleting the emissions system can reduce soot buildup and stress on the engine, potentially extending reliability.
Q6: What are the cons of deleting a diesel truck?
A6: Downsides include legal risks, voided warranty, higher upfront cost, and potential resale issues. On the other hand, many owners report improved fuel economy, power, and lower maintenance.
Q7: What tuner is required for a LMM delete kit?
A7: A custom tuner (EFI Live, MM3, or HP Tuners) is needed to recalibrate the ECU after deleting DPF/EGR. Without tuning, the truck will throw codes and run poorly.
Q8: Does deleting improve fuel economy on a LMM Duramax?
A8: Yes. Most owners see a gain of 2–5 MPG, especially under towing conditions, since the engine runs more efficiently without frequent regens.
Q9: Can I daily drive a deleted LMM Duramax?
A9: Technically yes, many do. However, it’s not road legal in most regions. For daily use on public roads, the legal risk should be carefully considered.
Q10: What supporting mods are recommended with a delete kit?
A10: Common upgrades include 4”/5” exhaust, upgraded transmission tuning, lift pump, and intake. These help maximize performance gains and maintain reliability.
