You can do away with the egr valves in the earlier duramaxes without having to retune the ecm.

Ross,
This may have been asked in a different form and I didn't catch it but here goes..
Say I have existing deleted tune files and I modify those existing deleted tune files with this new release, add duration, change timing or whatever I do. Will it automatically implement emission control functions in the tune when it is loaded back onto the truck? Basically making it a non deleted tune file. I read these statements by you Ross and this question came up.
*For any existing tune files you have, the tuning changes will remain untouched, all new tune files created with the next update will not have access to the DPF related functions for USA customers*
*The changes will not affect existing tunes, we can't wind back or undo what has already been done to a file prior to this new update*
Also although it is not a wise decision and should not be done, will it be possible to delete trucks with another tuner, while leaving all other parameters stock, read that file and tune with Efilive? Will the emission control be automatically implemented in the tune when its loaded to the truck. I know the risks involved with reading and modifying "dirty" files. Even of this works I feel all the other tuners will be shortly following these regulations as well.

I doubt this will happen. A good example would be the LB7, it was available in both EGR and NON EGR equipped from the factory. If teh software enabled the emissions equipment automatically, then it would enable emissions controls in tune files that never had them from the factory.

If that's the case then this will only affect trucks that tunes are built from this new release and all existing trucks will be able to stay deleted and still get all the benefits of future updates? Trucks with existing tunes modified with future releases wont be affected. This wood be great. It would prevent me from having to buy another v2 to tune current deleted customers. I'll just not tune deleted trucks from here on out. Doesn't affect me at all, I don't tune for a living nor do I have plans on owning anything with emissions anytime soon.
Jake, you've quoted the answer....
The changes will not affect existing tunes, we can't wind back or undo what has already been done to a file prior to this new update
With what other product? (Please don't answer that) I believe we were either the last or almost the last to remove this functionality.
As quoted above "The changes will not affect existing tunes, we can't wind back or undo what has already been done to a file prior to this new update"
The only change we've made to our software is we've removed specific parameters for certain locations. No other operational changes have been made.
Cheers

This is good news thanks. Existing deleted customers will be happy.
I believe one large company still has there tuner to do deletes(at least they still have it on tehre website), and somebody who sells H&S says they will still offer delete tunes(but require an EPA waiver stating it is going on a competition truck that is not road registered).
