Volvo DPF and EGR delete: Revitalize Your Volvo Equipment
March 29, 2023If you own a John Deere 331G or 333G skid steer, you’ve likely experienced the frustrations that come with maintaining the DEF, DPF, and EGR systems. At TM Ag Tuning, we specialize in providing top-tier tuning solutions to eliminate these emissions systems, boosting your machine’s performance and reliability. By deleting the DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid), DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) systems, we can take your John Deere skid steer to an impressive 130HP, all while reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Our process is simple: send us your ECU (Engine Control Unit) and DCU (DEF Control Unit), and we’ll handle the rest with our expert remote tuning services. Plus, we offer high-quality stainless steel replacement mufflers to complement your tuned machine. Let’s dive into what these systems are, why they can be a hassle, and how TM Ag Tuning’s delete services can transform your John Deere 331G or 333G skid steer.
What Are DEF, DPF, and EGR Systems?
Before exploring the benefits of removing these systems, it’s essential to understand what they do and why they’re installed on your John Deere skid steer.
DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid)
DEF is a solution made of urea and deionized water that’s injected into the exhaust stream of diesel engines. It works as part of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system to break down harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions into less harmful components like nitrogen and water vapor. While DEF helps meet stringent emissions standards, it requires regular refilling, precise monitoring, and additional components like pumps and sensors. For operators of John Deere 331G and 333G skid steers, this translates to added costs, potential system failures, and downtime—especially in harsh working conditions where DEF can freeze or clog lines.
DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)
The DPF is a physical filter in the exhaust system designed to capture soot and particulate matter produced during diesel combustion. Once captured, the soot is periodically burned off through a process called regeneration, which requires the exhaust to reach high temperatures. However, for skid steers like the John Deere 331G and 333G, which often operate at varying loads and speeds, regeneration can be inconsistent. This leads to clogged filters, forced downtime for manual regeneration, and costly repairs or replacements over time. The DPF’s restrictive nature can also sap engine efficiency and power.
EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation)
The EGR system recirculates a portion of the exhaust gases back into the engine’s intake to lower combustion temperatures and reduce NOx emissions. While effective for emissions control, EGR introduces dirty exhaust gases into the engine, which can lead to carbon buildup, reduced fuel efficiency, and diminished performance. For John Deere 331G and 333G owners, this means more frequent maintenance and a less responsive machine—issues that can hinder productivity on the job site.
Why Delete DEF, DPF, and EGR on Your John Deere 331G and 333G?
At TM Ag Tuning, we’ve seen firsthand how removing these emissions systems can unlock the full potential of your John Deere skid steer. Here’s why deleting DEF, DPF, and EGR is a game-changer:
1. Increased Horsepower and Performance (Up to 130HP)
By eliminating the restrictive DEF, DPF, and EGR systems, your John Deere 331G or 333G can breathe easier and operate more efficiently. Our custom tuning process optimizes the engine’s parameters, boosting horsepower to an impressive 130HP. This power increase translates to better torque, faster cycle times, and the ability to tackle tougher jobs with ease—whether you’re moving dirt, lifting heavy loads, or working in demanding conditions.
2. Reduced Maintenance Costs and Downtime
Maintaining DEF, DPF, and EGR systems can be a costly and time-consuming endeavor. DEF requires regular refills and functional sensors, while a clogged DPF demands regeneration or replacement, and EGR-related carbon buildup necessitates engine cleaning. By deleting these systems, you eliminate these expenses and minimize downtime. Our customers often report an extra hour of runtime per day since their machines no longer pause for DPF regeneration—a significant boost to productivity.
3. Improved Fuel Efficiency
With the DEF, DPF, and EGR systems gone, your John Deere skid steer can produce the same power at lower RPMs, leading to better fuel mileage. This efficiency not only saves you money at the pump but also reduces wear on the engine, extending its lifespan. For operators running their 331G or 333G for long hours, this benefit adds up quickly.
4. Enhanced Engine Longevity
The EGR system’s recirculation of exhaust gases introduces contaminants that can degrade engine components over time. By removing EGR, along with DEF and DPF, your engine runs cleaner and cooler, reducing the risk of carbon buildup and premature wear. This means fewer repairs and a longer-lasting John Deere skid steer.
5. Simplified Operation
Without the need to monitor DEF levels, manage regeneration cycles, or troubleshoot emissions-related fault codes, your workday becomes simpler and more focused. TM Ag Tuning’s delete service streamlines your machine’s operation, letting you concentrate on the task at hand rather than babysitting complex systems.
How TM Ag Tuning Deletes DEF, DPF, and EGR on John Deere 331G and 333G
Our process is designed for convenience and precision. Here’s how it works:
- Send Us Your ECU and DCU: To perform the DEF, DPF, and EGR delete, we require both the ECU (Engine Control Unit) and DCU (DEF Control Unit) from your John Deere 331G or 333G. Simply remove these units from your skid steer and ship them to us. We provide clear instructions to make this step hassle-free.
- Expert Tuning: Once we receive your ECU and DCU, our skilled technicians reprogram them to disable the DEF, DPF, and EGR systems entirely. We also optimize the engine’s performance, taking it to 130HP with our proven tuning methods.
- Return Shipping: After tuning, we ship the reprogrammed units back to you with detailed instructions for reinstallation. You’ll also need to physically remove or bypass the DPF and DEF components from the exhaust system, which we can guide you through.
- Upgrade with Stainless Steel Mufflers: For the ultimate setup, pair your tuned skid steer with our stainless steel replacement mufflers. Crafted for durability and performance, these mufflers replace the restrictive DPF assembly, ensuring corrosion resistance and a long service life—all backed by a 2-year warranty.
