Gehl DPF and EGR Delete: Unlock Peak Performance Gehl Skid Steers and Track Loaders with TM AG Tuning
September 24, 2025Peterbilt trucks are built for performance, comfort, and long-haul reliability — but even the best trucks can be sidelined by DEF, DPF, and EGR emissions system problems. While these systems meet government emissions regulations, they often cause downtime, lost productivity, and costly repairs for truck owners and fleets.
TM AG Tuning offers remote DEF, DPF, and EGR delete tuning for Peterbilt trucks equipped with Cummins engines. This means you can eliminate emissions-related issues without removing your ECU or shipping it to us — we tune your truck remotely, wherever it’s located.
What Are DEF, DPF, and EGR Systems?
To understand why removing them can improve your truck’s performance and reliability, here’s a breakdown of each system and its common issues.
- DEF – Diesel Exhaust Fluid
DEF is a urea-based liquid injected into the exhaust to break down nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions into harmless nitrogen and water. The system includes:
- DEF tank
- Pumps, injectors, and sensors
- Heating elements to prevent freezing
If any part fails, especially in cold climates where DEF can freeze, your Peterbilt may go into limp mode or even shut down.
- DPF – Diesel Particulate Filter
The DPF traps soot and particulate matter from exhaust gases. Over time, it fills up and must be cleaned through regeneration, which burns off the soot.
In heavy trucking, regeneration cycles can fail due to:
- Extended idling
- Stop-and-go driving
- Heavy loads
When this happens, the filter clogs, causing loss of power, high exhaust back pressure, reduced fuel efficiency, and costly DPF replacement bills.
- EGR – Exhaust Gas Recirculation
The EGR system recirculates a portion of exhaust gases back into the intake to lower combustion temperatures and reduce NOx emissions. However, this process:
- Causes carbon buildup in the intake and valves
- Reduces engine efficiency
- Increases the risk of overheating and accelerated wear
Why Peterbilt Trucks Experience Emissions-Related Downtime
Peterbilt trucks with Cummins engines are workhorses — but emissions systems are prone to failure, especially for:
- High-mileage trucks with worn sensors and injectors
- Cold-weather operations where DEF freezing is common
- Heavy-haul applications that push the engine to its limits
When these systems fail, they can trigger derates, limp mode, or complete shutdowns — leaving you stranded and costing you money.
Benefits of Remote DEF, DPF & EGR Delete for Peterbilt Trucks
When TM AG Tuning removes these systems via custom remote ECU programming, you get:
✅ No Downtime for Shipping
We tune your truck remotely using your laptop and a diagnostic adapter (Nexiq, DPA5, etc.).
✅ Improved Reliability
No more limp mode or shutdowns from clogged DPF filters or failed DEF injectors.
✅ More Power & Torque
Free-flowing exhaust and optimized engine mapping restore lost horsepower and throttle response.
✅ Better Fuel Economy
Without DPF regenerations and EGR flow, your Cummins engine burns fuel more efficiently.
✅ Lower Maintenance Costs
No DEF fluid to buy, no DPF replacements, no EGR cleaning — saving thousands annually.
✅ Extended Engine Life
Reduced exhaust back pressure and lower soot contamination protect your engine.
Our Remote Tuning Process
- You connect your laptop to your Peterbilt using a Nexiq or DPA5 diagnostic adapter.
- We remotely access your ECU via a secure connection.
- We apply custom tuning to disable the DEF, DPF, and EGR systems while maintaining engine safety parameters.
- You’re back on the road — with more power, better fuel efficiency, and no emissions-related downtime.
