Note: The Power Level ratings listed may not be exact for your particular vehicle. The listed ratings apply to the out-of-the-box tuning that H&S tuning devices are shipped with. Any custom downloads may result in different ratings and can be found Here.
DPF Selection
The DPF or Diesel Particulate Filter is part of the factory exhaust system on the 6.7L Powerstroke. H&S offers tuning that allows the DPF to be left in place, or removed completely.
If you are planning on leaving the exhaust system stock with the DPF in place, you will select PRESENT.
If you have already removed the DPF or if you plan on removing the DPF immediately after installing your H&S tuning device, you will select REMOVED. If you select REMOVED, you must Accept our DPF Disclaimer in order to continue with the Install Download process.
DPF / Exhaust Sensors
When running DPF PRESENT tuning, it is required that all sensors located in the exhaust system stay in place and plugged in, otherwise you may experience a Check Engine Light (CEL) and even a loss of power (limp mode).
When running DPF REMOVED tuning, it is recommended that all sensors located in the factory exhaust system be unplugged from the electrical harnesses. These sensors can also be removed completely with the factory exhaust if desired. On the 6.7L Powerstroke, there are usually 3 EGT Sensors, 1 NOX Sensor, 1 UREA Injector, and 1 Pressure Sensor.
Note: The vehicle will not run with sensors removed unless DPF REMOVED tuning is installed.
UREA / SCR System
On the 2011-2012 6.7L Powerstroke, there is a UREA system that can be unplugged or removed completely when running DPF REMOVED tuning. The UREA system may also be left plugged in with no ill effects.
EGR Unplug / Delete
If you are installing H&S DPF REMOVED tuning, you must unplug the EGR system on your 2011-2012 6.7L Powerstroke if not installing an EGR delete. Failing to do so may result in damage to your EGR parts.
Please follow these instructions carefully to unplug and disable the EGR system:
- Unplug Orange EGR harness found on top of the EGR cooler assembly. The yellow lock tab must be slid out before the harness can be unplugged.
- Unplug the EGR Butterfly Valve located near the radiator fan shroud.
Speed Limiter
This option allows for the adjustment of the factory speed limiter. Most 6.7L Powerstroke trucks have a 98 MPH speed limiter from the factory. The limiter can be changed to 75 MPH or removed completely (this may change so be sure to visit www.hsperformance.com for product updates). This option can only be changed during the Install Download process.
Tire Size Calibration
This option allows for the re-calibration of the factory speedometer to adjust for non-stock sized tires. For the most accurate speedometer reading when using non-stock sized tires, it is best to measure the diameter of the tire using a tape measure rather than going by the printed tire size. In additon, using a GPS is a great way to dial in your factory speedometer. Entering a larger tire size will cause the factory speedometer to read higher while entering a smaller tire size will cause the factory speedometer to read lower. The tire size can be adjusted from 31 inch to 34 inch (this may change so be sure to visit www.hsperformance.com for product updates). This option only takes a few seconds to change and can be adjusted at any time from the Tire Size Calibration menu.
TPMS Adjust-ability / Disable
Many 2011-2012 6.7L Powerstrokes are equipped with a TPMS or Tire Pressure Monitoring System from the factory. This system is designed to alert the driver of a problem with the vehicles tire pressures but is often a nagging inconvenience for those individuals wanting to run lower pressures or get rid of the TPMS sensors altogether.
With your H&S tuning device, you have full control of the TPMS. Front and rear tire pressures are independently adjustable from 0-120 PSI as well as the option to disable the TPMS completely if removing the TPMS sensors from the vehicle. This option only takes a few seconds to change and can be adjusted at any time from the Tire Pressure Calibration menu.
Note: TPMS adjustments will not take full effect on a stationary vehicle. Once adjustments have been made, it can take up to 5 miles of driving before changes take effect.
Transmission Tuning
Did you know that your H&S tuning device also has the capability of tuning your transmission? Our transmission tuning for the 6R140 automatic transmission is custom tailored to mate with H&S engine tuning. Some features include: boosted line pressures, modified full and part throttle lock/unlock strategies, adjusted full and part throttle shift points, adjusted full and part throttle shift firmness, and modified torque management tables. All changes are designed to keep more power directed to the road instead of wasted in heat and friction. On our test trucks, we have seen 0.2 to 0.3 second quicker 1/4 mile times JUST from the addition of H&S transmission tuning! An additional unlock fee may apply, see www.hsperformance.com for details.
Transmission Relearn
The 6R140 automatic transmission on the 2011-2012 6.7L Powerstroke has what is called Adaptive Memory and is constantly learning and adapting to different horsepower levels, temperatures, driving habits, etc. If you selected to tune the transmission during the Install Download process, the Transmission Adaptive Memory is automatically reset when the download completes. We highly recommend performing a Transmission Relearn procedure after installing H&S transmission tuning to help the transmission perform correctly with the added horsepower. The 6R140 automatic transmission will eventually learn over time on its own, but the relearn procedure gives a good baseline for the adaptive learning and helps to speed up the learning process. To perform the relearn procedure, please follow these instructions:
When re-training the transmission, ALWAYS follow posted speed limits. Do NOT attempt runs in adverse weather conditions such as snow, ice, rain, wind, or any other conditions that may affect your vehicles traction or impair your visibility
After H&S tuning is installed, perform each of the following 0-80 MPH runs while in the HOT power level. During this relearn process, you may experience hesitation during shifts, hard shifts, or defuel patterns, all of which are normal:
- 0-80 MPH @ 25 percent throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
- 0-80 MPH @ 50 percent throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
- 0-80 MPH @ 100 percent throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
The Transmission Relearn procedure is complete.
Note: On any vehicle using 3 inch or larger lift blocks under the rear leaf pack, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to install traction bars. With any added horsepower, failure to do so may result in harsh shifting and may cause premature transmission and/or drive line damage.

EGR Unplug / Delete
When running H&S DPF REMOVED tuning, it is not required to unplug or block-off the EGR system on your 6.4L Powerstroke to disable it. The EGR system is already disabled in the tuning and will not function under any conditions. If desired, the entire EGR system can be unplugged, blocked-off, or completely removed when running H&S DPF REMOVED tuning.
Speed Limiter

This system is designed to alert the driver of a problem with the vehicles tire pressures but is often a nagging inconvenience for those individuals wanting to run lower pressures or get rid of the TPMS sensors altogether.
H&S Performance has a designed solution for those individuals. By using your H&S tuning device and a 6.4L Powerstroke TPMS Adapter (Part #709913), you will have full control of the TPMS. Front and rear tire pressures will be independently adjustable from 0 - 100 PSI as well as the option to Disable the TPMS completely if removing the TPMS sensors from the vehicle. All changes to the TPMS must be done with the 6.4L Powerstroke TPMS Adapter in place and the Adapter must be removed after changes are made to resume normal tuner function.
Transmission Reset / Relearn
The 5R110 automatic transmission on the 2008,2009,2010 6.4L Powerstroke has what is called Adaptive Memory and is constantly learning and adapting to different horsepower levels, temperatures, driving habits, etc. After completing the Install Download process on the 6.4L Powerstroke, the Transmission Adaptive Memory is automatically reset.
