CATERPILLAR Delete Kit – DPF & DEF (SCR) Emulator

Basic mechanical tools are all that will be required. Socket wrench, screwdriver and pliers will be enough in order to install the CAT Delete Kit. Supplied with the kit comes a detailed diagrams and step-by-step instructions. Furthermore you can contact our tech department should you require assistance with the installation.

The installation of the CAT Delete Kit is very straightforward thanks to the plug and play technology. The only thing required will be to locate and gain access to the sensors that will be replaced with the Delete Kit’s wiring harness. Professional installation should take up to 1 hour while people with basic mechanical skills should be able to complete it in between 1 to 3 hours.

Most of our customers report a noticeable increase in power and torque. The exact value varies depending on the engine but the estimate of expected power increase is in between 15% to 30% more power. The result depends on the machine’s condition as well as operating environment, however improved throttle response and reduced engine strain is definitely expected.

The emulator is designed to work with machines that already have experienced emission system faults. The codes should disappear post-installation. However, if the condition of the machine became critical it might be necessary to erase the codes for the device to begin operation. 

Installation of the device does not void warranty as it does not make any changes to the original software of the ECU. Physical filter modification can void the warranty however the device itself does not have any effect on the original programming of the machine and does not void the warranty.

CAT DPF Delete Kit is meant for off-highway, non commercial use which makes it legal to use in the USA. However we highly recommend to always verify your local regulations and follow them to stay clear of being in violation of any laws. Many machines and certain construction or mining operations are exempt from emission requirements.

It depends on local inspection requirements. In most places off-highway equipment is subject to different emission regulations than on-highway vehicles like cars. We suggest to consult local authority for precise instructions and guidance. 

With proper maintenance, excavator with deleted emission system can last longer than machine with original emission systems. Deleting DPF and/or DPF/DEF systems will reduce the risk of costly failures and improve operating conditions of any machine, not only excavators. 

The DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) no longer requires cleaning or replacement, DPF regeneration and downtime it causes becomes the song of the past, DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) refills are no longer necessary, DEF injector maintenance or sensor replacements are also to be forgotten and any maintenance required for the emission system components are no longer required. 

All engine systems including but not limited to oil pressure or coolant temperature will remain fully functional. The only systems being bypassed are the emission systems without making any changes to the original software. The device is completely safe and will not affect the engine in any negative way.  

If the device seems to not run properly it is most likely that some installation point had been skipped or misunderstood. In such case we recommend to always contact our technical support team and they will help you with the installation. Most installation issues are easily resolved with proper guidance of our technician.

Our kits support most of Caterpillar machines and engines. We also support the newest iteration of CAT ECU (Engine Control Unit) including but not limited to: ADEM4, ADEM5, ADEM6 A6E2, A6M12, A6E4, A6E10, A6E11, A5E2V2, A5E12, A5M12, B6M5. If you’re not sure if your machine is supported contact us and we’ll confirm compatibility for you.

No. The device is safe and will not cause any damage to your machine. The device does not make any changes to the ECU it simply communicates with the ECU, without any modifications. It is designed with built-in safety features that will not allow it to cause anything problematic.

Should you encounter any problems during the installation, please contact our tech support and consult your case. Each case is different and the problem with your machine might not necessarily be related to the emission system. This is why if in doubt we always recommend to contact and consult our technician who will be happy to answer your questions and provide assistance.
