- Does NOT fit Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L EcoDiesel models or commercial Cab & Chassis models without custom fabrication.
DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
-
Factory 2014–2018 3.0L EcoDiesel engines can experience exhaust restriction, intake soot buildup, and increased thermal stress from the factory emissions system. The OEM DPF/SCR assembly limits exhaust flow and requires regeneration cycles, while the EGR system recirculates soot back into the intake, contributing to carbon buildup and reduced airflow efficiency.
- The 3.0L EcoDiesel DPF & EGR Delete Package addresses these common restrictions with a 3" mandrel-bent stainless steel DPF/SCR delete pipe and a complete EGR cooler delete assembly. This upgrade helps improve exhaust flow, reduce intake contamination, and support cleaner, more efficient EcoDiesel operation.
Key Features
-
Free-Flow DPF Delete Race Pipe: Replaces the restrictive OEM DPF/SCR assembly with a smooth 3" straight pipe, dramatically reducing exhaust backpressure and turbo lag.
- EcoDiesel EGR Removal: Permanently eliminates the weak OEM EGR valve and cooler, preventing intake sludge accumulation and internal coolant leak risks.
- Lowers Operating EGTs & Improves Mileage: Smooth exhaust evacuation lowers under-hood thermal stress and stops fuel-wasting DPF regeneration cycles for better overall fuel economy.
- Direct Bolt-On Fitment: Mandrel-bent to align directly with factory mounting points and rubber exhaust hangers on EcoDiesel chassis.
FAQ
Q: What is the benefit of replacing the factory DPF/SCR system with a 3" delete pipe?
A: The factory DPF/SCR assembly creates exhaust restriction and requires regeneration cycles. The 3" high-flow pipe improves exhaust flow and reduces restriction in the exhaust system.
Q: Why remove the factory EGR system on the EcoDiesel?
A: The EGR system recirculates exhaust soot back into the intake. Removing the EGR system helps reduce soot buildup and keeps the intake system cleaner.
Q: Will this kit help reduce EcoDiesel intake manifold swirl flap issues?
A: The factory EGR system introduces soot into the intake, which can contribute to carbon buildup around the intake manifold and swirl flap components. Removing the EGR system helps reduce soot contamination and keeps the intake system cleaner.
Q: Will removing the heavy OEM DPF/SCR assembly affect my truck's payload or suspension?
A: Removing the massive stock emissions canister sheds over 40 lbs of dead weight from the underbody, slightly improving front-to-rear weight balance and freeing up valuable ground clearance.
Q: Is custom ECM delete tuning required when installing this 3.0L EcoDiesel kit?
A: Yes. Custom ECM tuning is required after removing DPF and EGR components to properly manage engine operation and prevent diagnostic trouble codes or reduced-power modes.EcoDiesel tuning solutions are required before driving the vehicle.
