TruckTok 2013-2018 6.7L Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel EGR Valve Cooler Delete Kit

FITMENT

• 2013–2018 6.7L Dodge Ram Cummins 2500 & 3500 Pickup Turbo Diesel.
• Note: Does NOT fit Cab & Chassis (3500 / 4500 / 5500 C&C) models.

DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

• The 6.7L Cummins Diesel is built for heavy work, but its factory EGR and throttle valve systems recirculate hot, soot-filled exhaust back into the engine.
• Over time, this creates severe carbon sludge buildup, restricts fresh airflow, and drastically increases EGTs during heavy towing.
  
• Worse yet, the fragile stock EGR cooler is notorious for thermal cracking, which can leak coolant into your engine and cause catastrophic damage. Deleting these components restores max airflow, keeps your intake clean, and protects your engine from costly failures.

Key Features

• Premium Build: CNC Billet Aluminum, Heavy-Duty Steel & 4-Ply Silicone Hoses.
• Lower Towing EGTs: Stops hot gas recirculation, dropping Exhaust Gas Temperatures by up to 200°F under heavy payloads.
• Cleaner Intake System: Reduces soot recirculation to help keep the intake system cleaner and support long-term engine reliability.
• Prevent Engine Failure: Eliminates the risk of cracked EGR coolers leaking coolant into your engine cylinders.

FAQ

Q: What is the pre-tapped 1/8" NPT port on the rear plate used for?

A: It allows you to directly thread in an aftermarket Exhaust Gas Temperature pyrometer probe to monitor towing temps without drilling into your manifold.

Q: How do I ensure a leak-free seal on the exhaust manifold block-off plate?

A: Make sure to thoroughly clean off any rust, scale, or old gasket material on the exhaust manifold surface using a wire brush or scotch-brite pad before mounting. Install the heavy-duty gasket dry and torque the mounting bolts evenly in a cross-pattern.

Q: Do I need to remove the entire EGR cooler bracket from the engine?

A: Yes. Removing the heavy factory steel bracket frees up significant engine bay space, improves overall air circulation around the turbo, and makes future maintenance much easier.

Q: Will installing this kit affect my oil change intervals?

A: Removing EGR soot recirculation helps reduce intake contamination and can help keep the intake system cleaner over time. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended oil change intervals.
