That depends on what you consider "all that crap"? It happened in phases (and don't quote me on exact dates)
Early 3rd gens 2002-2006 had a "in Cylinder" EGR event
2007-12 added a EGR valve as we know it today and a DPF
13+ was EGR, DPF, and DEF/SCR
It happened something like that but I'm sure an "expert" will have the exact answer, we have plenty of them on here Lol.

Sounds about right. I think starting in 03 model year they had cats. But no sensors no real monitored emissions. Late 07/first 6.7L had egr (blue something was a badge on the tailgate basically saying it had emissions).
Pre 07 offered 2 versions of the 5.9L. 12v and 24v. 12v 89-97 24v 98-07. 12v is mechanical and 24v is computer controlled.
So 5.9L cummins are desired and easy to modify. I think 06/07 5.9L were a little more computer controlled so you'll find more "modern" tuners for them but not 03-05. I think around late 97-02 5.9L cummins can be tuned, quadzilla I believe is the most popular and offers "custom" tuning. 94-97 are probably the most desired 5.9L. They are the "p pump" motors. Mostly mechanical and easily modified. 89-93 offered 2 versions of the 12v 5.9L VE pump. Non-intercooled and intercooled. 89-91 were Non-intercooled. The Non-intercooled you are limited on how much power you can make due to the fact you don't have a intercooler to help out. You can add one but you end up being limited by the VE injection pump.
