Here is what to do with which sensors after deleting your 2.8.
These two connectors under the engine cover you will need to unplug.
As for the full turbo back exhaust kits(I know for certain the AFe kit is this way and I am about 99% sure the Flo Pro is too), there are not any places to plug back in any sensors in the exhaust, so everything gets unplugged. There were 2 sensors/injectors that were not easily unplugged so I just zip-tied them up out of the way and did not take pictures of them. One of them I know for sure was the really big plug right off the downpipe. But there are two sensors/injector that needs to stay plugged in.
This one is about under the passenger floorboard. Unplug it, but leave the injector attached to it. then I just zip tied it to the frame, like so.
The next thing that needs to stay plugged in, is the barometric pressure switch. It is located at the front of the bed close to the cab. Just leave the sensor plugged in and remove the rubber hoses from it.
Finally the connector for the DEF tank gets unplugged. It is the only connector running to the def tank from the truck's body harness. It is located near the spare tire and you have to remove a plastic shield to get to it, if I remember correctly.
After unplugging the ones listed and all the other ones along the exhaust(except for the ones mentioned that stay plugged in) the deleted truck stays happy and doesn't throw up any funky emission related messages on the DIC. I received a continue driving, in regen mode message on mine shortly after tuning/delete and once I had followed these steps, I have not seen an error message or CEL since the 5k ago whenever I installed all of it.
