2007.5-2009 6.7L Dodge Ram Cummins EGR Delete Kit
Eliminate the primary source of soot-related engine failure on your 6.7L Cummins Diesel with our professional EGR Delete Kit. Engineered specifically for the 2007.5, 2008, and 2009 RAM trucks, this kit provides a permanent solution to remove the restrictive factory EGR valve and cooler.
By bypassing the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system, you stop hot, abrasive exhaust gases from entering your intake manifold. This results in significantly lower operating temperatures, improved throttle response, and a drastic reduction in carbon buildup for long-term engine longevity.
Key Performance Benefits
-
Stop Soot Accumulation: Prevents carbon deposits from clogging your intake manifold and valves, ensuring your engine breathes only clean, fresh air.
-
Optimized Cooling System: Includes a dedicated Coolant Re-route Hose. Unlike basic kits that simply block off lines, our system maintains proper coolant flow to prevent hotspots.
-
Integrated EGT Probe Port: The exhaust manifold block-off plates come pre-tapped, allowing for the easy installation of an Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor.
-
Thermal Management: By removing the EGR cooler, engine coolant is no longer subjected to extreme exhaust heat, resulting in lower coolant and oil temperatures.
-
Transmission & Accessory Support: Includes a custom transmission dipstick bracket and coolant hose support to ensure a clean, factory-style fitment.
-
Improved Fuel Economy: By optimizing combustion and reducing the load on the emission system, many owners report gains in fuel efficiency of up to 20%.

Why Upgrade Your Early 6.7L Cummins?
The 2007.5-2009 6.7L Cummins was the first generation of RAM trucks to feature heavy emissions equipment. These early systems are notorious for clogging the VGT turbo and intake with soot. Installing this 6.7 Cummins EGR Delete is the most effective way to protect your investment. By removing the "weak links" of the factory emissions system, you avoid the thousands of dollars in repairs associated with failed EGR coolers or stuck valves.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will I need a tuner for this kit?
A: Yes. An EGR-delete capable performance tuner is required to disable the factory software and prevent Check Engine Lights (CEL).
Q: Is the coolant re-route hose necessary?
A: Absolutely. It ensures that your cooling system maintains a pressurized, flowing circuit, which is critical for engine safety under heavy loads and towing conditions.
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.
