2013-2023 6.7L Dodge Ram Cummins Cab & Chassis EGR Delete Kit
Maximize the work-ready reliability of your 6.7L Cummins Diesel with our heavy-duty EGR Delete Kit, engineered exclusively for Cab & Chassis models. Unlike standard pickup kits, this system is tailored to the specific engine bay and cooling configurations of commercial RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 trucks.
By eliminating the restrictive factory EGR valve and cooler, you prevent abrasive soot from recirculating through your intake, leading to significantly lower engine temperatures, improved fuel efficiency, and a drastic reduction in maintenance downtime.
Key Performance Benefits
-
Designed for Commercial Use: Specifically built to handle the high-demand duty cycles of Cab & Chassis trucks (3500-5500 series).
-
Advanced Coolant Re-Route: Includes a dedicated high-temp re-route hose to ensure consistent coolant flow without the risks associated with simply blocking off lines.
-
Stop Carbon Buildup: Prevents "limp mode" and power loss by eliminating soot accumulation in the intake manifold and valves.
-
Integrated EGT Port: Exhaust manifold plates come pre-tapped, allowing for the easy installation of an Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) probe to monitor engine vitals in real-time.
-
Thermal Management: By removing the EGR cooler, your engine coolant runs significantly cooler, extending the life of your seals, gaskets, and internal components.

Why Upgrade Your Cab & Chassis Cummins?
For owners of 3500-5500 work trucks, downtime is lost revenue. The factory EGR system is a frequent failure point that leads to clogged valves and overheating under heavy loads. Installing this 6.7 Cummins EGR Delete restores your engine's breathing efficiency, potentially increasing fuel economy by up to 20% and ensuring your truck stays on the job longer between service intervals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Do I need a tuner for this kit?
A: Yes. This kit must be used with EGR-upgrade capable tuning to prevent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and ensure the engine operates correctly without the emissions hardware.
Q: Does it include everything needed for a full install?
A: Yes. The kit includes laser-cut steel plates, a billet block plug, a billet standpipe cap, and all necessary gaskets and fittings.
Q: Why is the coolant re-route hose important?
A: Many basic kits simply block off coolant lines, which can lead to localized hotspots. Our kit re-routes the flow to maintain optimal cooling system balance, which is critical for trucks that tow or carry heavy equipment daily.
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.
