Hi Todd,
Well I love how it drives & the fuel economy I think is excellent if you're prepared to remove the DPF & EGR valve. Most folks aren't willing to lose their warranty & so that's really the issue.
The DPF & EGR cause huge problems with these trucks which we've discussed before but to sum it up...if your 6.7 exhaust is stock & you still run the EGR valve, you will have expensive problems in the future.
I love the reliability & power of the 12V still though. It's just tough taking the old bone shaker out on a long haul after riding around in the 2011 for a few days...you follow? :)
