Its only an 8 hour drive to the border for french fries and gravy so not an issue. The engine is the same 3.0 eco diesel that has been in the ram pickups, cherokees and other dodge/jeep offerings for the last 5 years or so and nothing has changed on the engine itself. After spending a few hours in the forums and on youtube I have seen properly geared drivetrains on 40's putting out more than 320 hp on the dynos.
Sounds like you're on top of it then. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of the fairly recent issues with deleting. I still see quite a few people inquiring without realizing the headache it's become.
Been waiting for the tech to prove itself before jumping in. always tuned every diesel I have owned and never had any issues.

Banks has stuff on the way. Shouldn’t need to delete anything.
Since I will be flat towing this beeeyotch behind the Coach I will prob haul my 2019 BMW GSA and the 2019 KTM 500 EXC-f most of the time. They are the two bikes I use the most anymore.
If it doesn't have a delete, I dont want it. The whole point of the process is to get rid of the pointless and useless garbage EPA mandates. The whole EGR/DEF concept is merely a band aid on a broken leg of poor metrics and an after thought of engineering to appease oversight. The whole concept is actually worse for engine reliability and longevity and service managers will even tell you that but cant do it themselves.
50K trouble free miles on my Cummins, but I am aware of the headache and expense the emissions related equipment can pose in the future. Fingers crossed it doesn't bite me, but I'm not tuned and can't delete, so its not really an option anyway.
I'm with you. My Sprinter has been deleted for the past 4 years. Under warranty Mother Benz has put $10k in repair on my emission system. Last event was out of warranty and they wanted $3500 to fix emission once again. I went with the $800 tune and DPF removal. We have no emission testing up here in Qc.
I wonder if he can get the hybrid powerpack in the new engine to charge itself by towing behind the bus...
defeats the point of building a crawler
I only had two trucks that I played it safe with on keeping it stock and using the warranty and both of them had major issues in the 50k to 90k mile range and needed complete engine replacements due to the EGR system. Every diesel I have owned since then has never lasted a week before getting the whole delete and tune treatment. My last 6.7 lasted 400k without a single issue before I sold it and its still running strong towing skidsteers everyday. Its not a matter if, its when. The earlier EGR rigs without DPF and DEF will last longer but will still have issues at some point, and can almost always promise turbo issues first.
They need a few more hashtags, I think. #makesnosense #whatthefuckiswrongwithpeople
I think it would be fun....better than bags and 24's...
Thoughts and prayers to me then, cause deleting isn't an option.
No on the 24's but bags are almost always the answer. A NASCAR truck would be fun as hell.

Ha, I am trying to talk someone out of buying a SWB one of these at the moment, I get that they look cool but in pretty much every other way they suck compared to something more modern.
Nice truck. There is a motorcycle thread, have at it.
That's really quite ugly.Why is it so hard for car companies to actually make use of their car's real estate and build an actual wagon? So tired of these pseudo crossovers with sloping rooflines.
Fingers crossed that Kia just makes a longer version of the Ioniq 5. My hope of the VW ID6 being an electric Passat were dashed by this abomination:
I always wanted the CC as a wagon with a V8/6spd manual....my hope of the VW ID6 being an electric Passat were dashed by this abomination:
They do make the successor Arteon as a wagon, but alas, only four pots and DSG transmissions.
As mentioned, the Arteon is the successor and with a hatchback...it's 75% of the utility of a wagon IMO. I was trying to decide whether to pick one up last year. Supposedly they are a bit "soft", despite more power than the Audi A5 sportback. Bigger interior though.
There's a petition currently to bring the M3 Touring to the US. Pretty much ain't going to happen. The best we can do is S5 and RS5 sportbacks and 440M grand coupe with their hatches, but those new BMWs are an extra dose of beaver-toothed ugly. I don't consider the E63 or RS6 Avant real alternatives, since those are just sky-high supercars that option out to around 130K with normal selections.
Y tho?
Because redneck. NTTAWWT.
