Question To do first: EGR or DPF delete?

Since getting the pain in the arse P2262 code this weekend, I've bee doing allot of reading both here and on another Cummins site (not sure if allowed to post link, so I won't) about the DPF and EGR delete kits. Seen where people have manufactured their own and provided pics. I have a few questions that maybe people here can answer:


1. If i only had the time and resources to perform one delete kit at the present time, which one would be them most beneficial without causing additional issues before the other delete is performed. I guess, which would you, the reader, say is the most bang for the buck, yet allows increasing the life of the engine from day one.

2. Read a number of posts about high oil level on the dipstick. Would either, or both, of these deletes stop that from occurring again? I know many have opinions, but if anyone has actual evidence either way, it would be appreciated.

3. Does anyone have any detailed pics / images and instructions on how they installed these kits? I'm leaning towards manufacturing as much as i can locally if possible. I can't see spending $1000 (or whatever it costs) if i can make locally in our shop, or source from different vendors and put together.

4. Took a look at a couple of performance websites for these kits. Looking for more links / sites readers here may have used for these kits as well.

Basically, I am trying to get as much info as i can from those who run the 6.7L regularly, and have first hand knowledge about this problem, and have done these deletes....BEFORE i go off in a wrong direction / decision. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks!
