2010-2014 6.7L Dodge Ram Cummins EGR & Cooler Delete Kit
Unlock the true power and reliability of your 6.7L Cummins Diesel with this all-in-one EGR & Throttle Valve Delete Kit. Engineered specifically for the 2010–2014 RAM 2500HD and 3500HD, this kit provides a complete solution to remove the soot-heavy EGR cooler and the restrictive intake throttle valve.
By bypassing these factory emissions components, you stop abrasive carbon deposits from entering your intake manifold, significantly lowering operating temperatures and extending the lifespan of your turbo and internal engine components.
Key Performance Benefits
-
Complete Intake Optimization: Eliminates the restrictive throttle valve and EGR cooler, providing a "straight-through" airflow path for the turbo.
-
Instant Throttle Response: Deleting the throttle valve butterfly removes intake turbulence, resulting in sharper acceleration and reduced turbo lag.
-
Stop Carbon Buildup: Prevents "soot-clogging" of the intake valves, ensuring your engine breathes only clean, fresh air for peak combustion efficiency.
-
Lower Operating Temperatures: By removing the EGR cooler, engine coolant is no longer subjected to extreme exhaust heat, leading to lower overall coolant and oil temps.
-
Improved Fuel Economy: Owners typically see an increase in fuel efficiency by up to 20% by optimizing the engine's breathing and reducing "regen" cycles.

Why Choose This Complete Delete Kit?
The 2010-2014 6.7L Cummins is a workhorse, but the factory EGR and throttle valve systems are prone to clogging and mechanical failure. This kit replaces those "weak links" with durable, high-flow components. It is the most cost-effective way to avoid the thousands of dollars in repairs associated with failed EGR coolers or stuck throttle valves while simultaneously boosting your truck's torque and towing performance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will I need a tuner for this kit?
A: Yes. This kit requires an EGR-delete capable performance tuner to prevent Check Engine Lights (CEL) and to ensure the engine runs correctly without the factory sensors.
Q: Is it a direct bolt-on installation?
A: Yes. Every component is designed to fit factory mounting points. While no instructions are included, the bolt-on design allows for a straightforward installation for those familiar with the 6.7L Cummins platform.
Q: Can I monitor my exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs)?
A: Absolutely. The exhaust manifold block-off plate is pre-tapped to accept an EGT probe, making it easy to monitor your truck’s vitals while towing or racing.
Performance & Engine Reliability
Q1: What are the key benefits of installing an EGR delete kit?
- Engine Longevity: Stops abrasive soot from entering the intake, preventing carbon "caking" on the grid heater and intake valves.
- Lower Operating Temps: Since hot exhaust gas is no longer recirculated, your overall coolant and engine temperatures remain more stable.
- Improved Efficiency: Many owners report an MPG boost of up to 20% and significantly sharper throttle response.
- Reliability: Eliminates the risk of a cracked EGR cooler—a primary cause of mystery coolant loss and "white smoke" in Cummins engines.
Q2: How does the throttle body delete improve performance?
- The factory throttle body (butterfly valve) creates a major airflow restriction. Deleting it allows for maximum fresh air volume to reach the cylinders, resulting in faster turbo spool-up and enhanced mid-range torque.
Q3: Will this kit help extend my engine's life?
- Yes. By reducing internal carbon buildup and lowering thermal stress on the engine's cooling and intake systems, the kit helps extend the overall service life of your 6.7L Cummins.
Q4: Can this kit solve the "Grid Heater Bolt" failure issue?
- No. This kit focuses on the EGR and intake airflow systems. If you are concerned about the "fatal bolt" dropping into the engine from the factory grid heater, you should look into a dedicated Grid Heater Delete or a "Wiggle Wire" replacement.
Technical Fitment & Installation
Q5: Is this kit compatible with my specific Ram model?
- This kit is precision-engineered for 2010–2025 Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with the 6.7L Cummins.
- Note: This kit is NOT compatible with Cab & Chassis (C&C) models.
Q6: What makes this EGR delete kit unique?
- Our kit features CNC-machined billet aluminum with a high-polish finish and exclusive engraving. It includes an integrated DDC base pipe bracket that eliminates the need for exhaust studs, making the installation faster, more secure, and visually superior in your engine bay.
Q7: Does it include a mounting location for the transmission dipstick?
- Yes. We have integrated a secure mounting point specifically for the factory transmission dipstick tube to maintain a clean and organized engine bay.
Q8: How long does the installation take?
- A professional or experienced DIY installation typically takes 4–6 hours. The kit is designed as a direct-fit solution and includes all necessary gaskets, hardware, and instructions.
Tuning & Legality
Q9: Do I need to tune my truck after removing the EGR system?
- Yes, absolutely. You cannot run an EGR delete on a 6.7L Cummins without an "EGR-Off" tune (such as EFI Live or EZ Lynk). Without proper tuning, the truck will immediately enter "Limp Mode" and trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL).
Q10: Is removing the EGR valve legal for road use?
- No. OFF-ROAD / RACE USE ONLY. Removing emissions control equipment violates U.S. EPA federal regulations and most state laws for vehicles operated on public highways. This kit is intended for competition, pulls, or dedicated off-road builds.
Q11: Will installing this kit void my vehicle’s warranty?
- Yes. Modifying the emissions system is almost certain to void your factory powertrain warranty. We recommend consulting with a diesel-friendly shop or waiting until your warranty period has expired.
Troubleshooting & Support
Q12: What is included in the full kit?
- The comprehensive kit includes: EGR block-off plates, throttle body delete components, a cooling bypass plate, all required gaskets, high-strength hardware, and a transmission dipstick mounting bracket.
Q13: Is there a solution that works with the factory probe?
- Yes. This kit is designed to be fully compatible with the factory sensors/probes to ensure a seamless integration with your tuning software.
