Q1: What tools do I need for the EGR delete kit installation?
A: Basic hand tools (wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers) and a compatible tuner are required. The kit includes all necessary components for installation—no extra parts are needed.
Q2: How can I improve the fuel economy of my Cummins engine?
A: You can improve fuel economy by performing regular maintenance, using high-quality fuel, maintaining proper tire pressure, and installing performance upgrades such as an EGR delete kit. Additionally, avoiding aggressive acceleration and reducing unnecessary engine load can also help.
Q3: Will removing the EGR system damage my engine?
A: No—as long as the EGR delete kit is installed and used correctly. In fact, it improves engine performance by reducing carbon buildup and optimizing airflow. However, improper installation (e.g., poor sealing) may cause engine damage. Many truck owners report smoother throttle response and fewer maintenance issues after EGR deletion.
Q4: Will removing the EGR valve cause black smoke emissions?
A: It may if the truck is not properly tuned after installation. Correct ECU tuning balances combustion and minimizes excessive black smoke during normal driving.
Q5: Can I drive my truck immediately after installing the EGR delete kit?
A: Not exactly. After installation, you must pair the kit with the correct ECU tuning program. Without tuning, the ECU will detect missing EGR components and sensors, triggering the Check Engine Light (CEL). Tuning eliminates these fault codes and ensures smooth engine operation.
Q6: Will installing an EGR delete kit void my vehicle’s warranty?
A: It is likely. Removing the EGR system affects the intake, exhaust, and cooling systems, as well as emission-related components, which may void the factory warranty. We recommend consulting your vehicle manufacturer or dealer for specific warranty terms before installation.
Q7: Is removing the EGR valve legal for road use?
A: No—in most regions, removing the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system violates road traffic regulations, as it causes nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to exceed legal limits. These kits are intended for off-road or racing use only. Always check local laws and regulations before modifying your vehicle’s emission system.
Q8: Do I need to tune my truck after removing the EGR system?
A: Yes. Proper tuning is crucial to ensure optimal performance, prevent the vehicle from entering limp mode, and eliminate EGR-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Without tuning, the Check Engine Light will turn on.
Q9: Does the EGR delete kit help extend engine life?
A: Yes. By reducing carbon buildup and lowering engine pressure, the kit helps extend the engine’s service life.
Q10: What are the benefits of installing an EGR delete kit?
A: The key benefits include:
- Improved engine performance and throttle response
- Reduced carbon buildup and lower exhaust gas temperature
- Enhanced fuel economy (up to 20% improvement in some cases)
- Lower risk of DPF failures and costly EGR system repairs
- Cooler engine coolant temperature (since coolant no longer flows through the EGR cooler)
Q11: Can this kit solve the problem of fatal bolts falling into the engine from the heating element?
A: No. This kit only removes the EGR system and cooler, and does not affect the heating element bolts.
Q12: Can this kit completely remove the EGR cooler and valve from the truck?
A: Absolutely!
Q13: What makes this EGR delete kit unique?
A: This kit features a custom CNC-machined aluminum intake block with a finely polished surface and exclusive logo engraving. Its unique design not only enhances functionality but also makes it a collector’s item for diesel truck enthusiasts.
Q14: Why is the compatible vehicle year range listed as 2010–2025 instead of 2009.5–2025?
A: To avoid any customer confusion, we simplified the compatible range to 2010–2025 for accuracy. The kit is specifically designed for 2010 and later Ram 2500/3500 models equipped with the Dodge Ram 6.7L diesel engine. It is not compatible with Cab & Chassis (C&C) models.
Q15: How does the DDC bracket improve installation?
A: The integrated DDC base pipe bracket eliminates the need for exhaust studs, making the installation process faster and easier. This innovative design ensures a precise and secure fit, saving time and effort.
Q16: Is this EGR delete kit compatible with other products?
A: Yes. This kit is specially designed to perfectly match the intake manifold of Dodge Ram 6.7L diesel engines. When used together, they deliver optimal performance, durability, and a seamless upgrade experience for your engine bay.
Q17: Can the EGR delete kit enhance the appearance of my engine bay?
A: Definitely! The polished CNC-machined aluminum baffle with engraved logos is not only durable but also adds a premium upgraded look to your engine bay, making your truck stand out.
Q18: Is there an EGR delete solution that works with the factory probe?
A: Yes—this kit is designed to be compatible with the factory probe.
Q19: Does this kit include a mounting location for the transmission dipstick?
A: Yes, it does.
Q20: What does the EGR plate cooler and throttle body delete kit include?
A: The kit includes an EGR plate cooler, throttle body delete components, a cooling plate, gaskets, hardware, and installation instructions.
Q21: Why should I install this kit on my 2013–2018 Dodge Ram?
A: Installing this kit improves engine performance, optimizes airflow, and reduces maintenance needs by preventing carbon buildup and lowering coolant temperature.
Q22: Is this EGR delete kit compatible with all 2013–2018 Dodge Ram 6.7L diesel models?
A: Yes. It is specifically designed for 2013–2024 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models.
Q23: Can I install this kit by myself?
A: Yes. The kit comes with detailed installation instructions. However, if you have no vehicle modification experience, we recommend seeking professional installation assistance.
Q24: How does throttle body deletion improve performance?
A: Throttle body deletion increases air flow, which improves throttle response and enhances overall engine efficiency.
Q25: How long does it take to install this kit?
A: Professional installation typically takes 4–6 hours.
Q26: Does this kit come with a warranty?
A: Yes. It comes with a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects. Please refer to our warranty policy for details.
Q27: Is this kit the same as the EGR block-off plate or throttle body delete kit for Dodge Ram 6.7L diesel engines?
A: Yes. This kit includes both the EGR block-off plate and the throttle body delete kit for Dodge Ram 6.7L diesel engines, providing a complete solution to eliminate common airflow restrictions and carbon buildup issues.
