I know this might sound crazy but has anybody ever tried to turn off the pilot injection on a 6.7?
Yes and it made the engine a little louder.
Are there any advantages to removing the pilot injection? Any fuel mileage gains? How does it effect performance? Would it effect the connecting rods? What about any changes to injector life? I like my truck quiet, I can go through drive threws without having to shut off my truck but if no pilot injection is beneficial then it might be worth considering.
Does it rise cylinder pressure like what it does on a 6.4? They has big thread on here about pilot injection on a 6.4 and the conclusion was that it rose it some much that you run the risk of blowing head gaskets. Also was there any other negative effects and or positive effects on removing the PI?
If it doesn't I would love to have no pilot injection on a 6.7 the 6.7 it self is to quiet for me LOL.
Thanks for you reply KEM.
I did many months of testing (actually years) with cylinder pressure pickups and pilot injection on the 6.0L and 6.4L (benefit of working with the OEM!). Although it was calibrated out shortly after the 2003 6.0L release due to the inconsistencies of the G2 injectors, pilot injector on a common rail engine is very reliable and beneficial. Unless you have a true competition vehicle, I would not tune it out.

Yes I have now that mcc allows it.
I was happy with the results.
Where does it say it has a 6.7? I read the comments and everything. I love the sound that's for sure
