This is a really nice set up inexpensive but well-made. Make sure you use 1/4 inch drive and torque wrench, if you get the half socket 10mm and multi size extensions even better it’ll make getting those two back bolts easy
Makes truck breathe better and will definitely blow your y bridge out so do that while you’re in there looks great and fits up pretty good not perfect
Installed this SPELAB EGR Throttle Valve Delete on my 6.7 Cummins and the fitment was perfect. The kit was well made, installation was straightforward, and all the necessary parts were included. Everything lined up as it should and the truck runs great. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality replacement component.
I originally had the Banks Monster Ram intake with grid heater delete, and costed $1200. Recently I decided to give Spelab a try for their 3.5” pusher style intake with grid heater delete. Fraction of the price and performs the same. Only regret I have was my purchase of Banks.
Great product
Good product fast sipping was not that bad of a job
Nicely done ✅
Easy installation and everything fit perfectly. The kit is well-made, comes with the necessary components, and worked as expected. Shipping was fast and the quality exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable EGR delete kit.
Very impressed with the quality of the cooler. Couldn’t find any instructions for the install. However, I was able to figure it out and plan to post a video for anyone else who may need help with the install.
Installed this on my 2015 6.7 Powerstroke and everything fit perfectly. Quality parts, straightforward install, and noticeable improvement in engine temps and reliability. Would definitely recommend this kit to anyone doing an EGR delete.
Installed on a 2019 Ram cab and chassis with no issues. Fitment was good, quality looks solid, and throttle response feels better. Definitely recommend this intake horn/grid heater upgrade.
Its worked perfectly so far. Make sure to buy one that is the correct size and that there is room for it. The motor is larger then I expected but made it work and ive used it everytime I drive
Perfect fit,excellent craftsmanship,great look,I would recommend this to others
I am very happy with my unpainted cast aluminum cover. I didn’t have any issues with fitment or hardware / sight glass installation. It looks great inside and out. I wish I would’ve taken a picture before reinstalling the spare tire.
2006 F250 (sterling 10.5)
Great solid parts. Install was relatively easy and the kit looks amazing. Going to buy another kit for my 24 Duramax soon.
FAQS
Yes, it is designed specifically for this engine, offering enhanced protection and heat resistance.
It improves cooling, reduces wear on components, and enhances durability under heavy loads.
Yes, it increases oil capacity, cooling, and durability, maintaining engine health in demanding conditions.
Many parts are DIY-friendly, but some mechanical knowledge is recommended for optimal performance.
The LB7 (2001-2004) is notorious for failed fuel injectors—the #8 injector seal is the most cited failure point, causing coolant loss and white smoke. The LLY (2004-2006) improved injector reliability but introduced EGR cooler cracking issues. Both generations benefit from head stud installations before any performance tuning, as factory head bolts can lift on modified engines under high boost.
Yes—if you're planning delete kits and a tune on any 2001–2016 Duramax, head studs are strongly recommended. The LLY head gasket and factory head bolts are the weak link under elevated combustion pressure from aggressive tuning. ARP head studs (part of the SPELAB Head Stud Kit) eliminate lift risk and are considered mandatory for any truck making over 500 HP or running E85.
SPELAB's All-in-One Kit for 2004–2005 LLY covers EGR, DPF, and CCV/PCV in one package at $306.99, rated 5.0 stars. This is the most cost-effective approach—single purchase, single install. Alternatively, start with the EGR delete + intake elbow to fix the most common failure mode (EGR cooler cracking), then add DPF delete later with a compatible tune from EFILive or H&S.
The factory CCV (Crankcase Ventilation) valve routes blow-by gases into the intake, causing oil buildup in the intercooler and intake elbow—a leading cause of the P0299/P0101 codes. The SPELAB CCV reroute kit redirects crankcase gases to the atmosphere or exhaust, eliminating oil coking in the intake system. Rated 4.63 stars from 30 reviews; a common upgrade before doing any other performance mods on the LB7/LLY.
Yes. Factory Duramax up-pipes use thin-wall tubing prone to cracking at the bellows, especially under high EGTs. A 2001–2016 LB7/LLY/LBZ/LMM up-pipe upgrade ($99.99 on SPELAB, rated 4.87 from 68 reviews) uses thicker stainless steel and thicker bellows for durability. On the LB7, the EBPV (exhaust backpressure valve) in the up-pipe is a common failure point—a bellowed upgrade kit eliminates it entirely.
