Unlock the full airflow potential of your 6.7L Cummins Diesel with our high-flow EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit. Engineered specifically for 2007.5–2024 RAM trucks, this EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit replaces the restrictive factory throttle valve assembly, which is known for creating intake turbulence and collecting thick soot from the EGR system. By removing the "butterfly" valve restriction, you allow your engine to receive a consistent, high-velocity stream of fresh air. This EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit results in faster turbo spooling, increased throttle response, and improved overall engine efficiency for both daily driving and heavy towing.
Improve Air Intake with the EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit
The factory throttle valve on the 6.7L Cummins is a frequent failure point that can become "stuck" due to heavy soot buildup. Installing this EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit replaces that moving part with a solid, high-flow aluminum pipe. This EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit is an essential reliability mod for any 6.7L owner looking to simplify their intake system and maximize engine life. By eliminating the restrictive internal butterfly valve, this EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit significantly reduces intake turbulence and allows the turbo to breathe more efficiently than the stock configuration.
Key Performance Benefits
-
Maximum Airflow: This EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit removes the obstructive butterfly valve, smoothing out the intake air path.
-
Stop Soot Accumulation: Prevents carbon buildup at the throttle junction, a core advantage of using a quality EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will I need a tuner for this EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit?
A: Yes. Removing the factory valve requires an aftermarket tuner to disable the sensor codes and prevent the vehicle from entering limp mode after installing the EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit.
Q: Is the installation difficult?
A: No. This is one of the easiest modifications for the 6.7L Cummins. Using the EGR Throttle Valve Delete Kit typically takes less than 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
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.
