Do you think you would have problems getting the insurance company to fix your truck if you wrecked it while having a dpf delete? I guess you just tow it to your house and reinstall everything. What do you guys think?

Geez, I guess if you somehow wrecked due to the fact that your particulate filter wasn't functioning properly then yeah, I guess there is a chance.

Actually the ecm records what you were doing like 5 seconds before you crash. IE speed, how hard you were braking, how hard you pressed on the go peddle.

The questions some people ask....

 

[gregh514]

I understand that, but in what sort of real-world application would apply to this scenario to the degree that your insurance company would order such a test to determine fault? I certainly don't mean any offense but I think that you are trying to pick the fly out of the pepper.

 

[gregh514]

that was supposed to say "pick the flysh*t out of the pepper."

 

[2004duramaxLB7]

id seriously doubt the insurance would care if you removed your dpf, illegal or not, i almost garentee they'd fix it. now it would be a big deal for warrenty work...

 

[2007 cummins 6.7 liter]

Gregh514, they wouldn't order a test like that. I just said that cause it popped in my head. I wasn't trying to put down anything you said.

 

[2007 cummins 6.7 liter]

I guess this is another one of my stupid/pointless questions.::S: Sometimes I think too far into things.

 

[2004duramaxLB7]

lets say you removed the dpf and somehow it caused a fire and destroyed the truck, and the insurance company found out it was illegal to remove it. id say theyd most likely turn you down under those circumstances....

 

[gregh514]

That's what I meant by picking the flysh*t out of the pepper. I think you are trying to come up with reasons NOT to mod. I thought I was the king of overthinking...remember, I'm completely stock right now.

I think most Fires would be started By the DPF or cat's due to the Heat they put out ?

If you removed either it would make the truck/car safer fire wise i would think! by making the EGT lower ...

Far as the Insurance Paying or not they can find all kinda reasons to not pay since people love to mod :~) if they can Connect the mod to the Wreck so that it shows probable cause for said wreck then they wouldn't pay..,And Claim you Made the Truck unsafe and are liable for damage caused by the mod...be it larger tires,Exhaust Modification,Tunners,..ETC.....

It would work Like warranty work,they would have to Prove the Mod caused the Issue at hand Before they could refuse to pay I would Think...

Bump them! Mod On Brother Life is short ....

Now i'm sitting here wondering if you can really tell the difference between Fly *%$ and Pepper LOL :~)

Someone Needs to spend more time on the Truck and Less watching Flys LOL :~)

 

[gregh514]

haha that's probably true, but I'm at the mercy of the dealership at this point. I don't know too much about diesels just yet that's why I'm here.
