Dodge Ram Diesel EGR Delete Kits

Compare EGR Delete Kits for Ram 2500 & 3500 6.7L Diesel

Choosing the right EGR delete setup for a 6.7L Diesel-powered Ram 2500 or 3500 starts with model year, truck configuration, hardware layout, and tuning needs. Diesel owners often compare EGR delete kits when factory EGR components begin causing soot buildup, cooler failures, intake restriction, or EGR-related fault codes.

SPELAB offers EGR delete solutions for Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel trucks, including basic EGR delete kits, EGR cooler and throttle valve delete kits, tuner-supported packages, EGT relocation parts, and full delete supporting components. Whether you tow in permitted off-road conditions, maintain a farm truck, or build a competition-use diesel, the key is choosing the correct kit for your model year, truck configuration, and tuning needs.

How Does an EGR Delete Work on a Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel?

The EGR, or Exhaust Gas Recirculation, system routes a portion of hot exhaust gas back into the intake. This helps reduce emissions, but it can also contribute to carbon buildup, increased intake temperatures, reduced throttle response, clogged coolers, stuck valves, and EGR-related fault codes over time.

A Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel EGR delete kit removes or bypasses the factory EGR valve and EGR cooler components. Depending on the kit, it may also include block-off plates, gaskets, coolant plugs, coolant hoses, throttle valve delete parts, and hardware needed to seal the system properly. Modern Ram 6.7L Cummins trucks usually require compatible tuning after EGR removal to avoid check engine lights, DTCs, or limp mode.

Benefits and Trade-Offs of EGR Delete on Ram 6.7 Cummins

Common Benefits

1. Helps reduce carbon buildup in the intake: The factory EGR system can send soot-laden exhaust back into the intake, which may contribute to sludge, restriction, and long-term maintenance issues.
2. May lower exhaust gas temperatures under load: Many diesel owners report lower EGTs after EGR delete and proper tuning, especially while towing, hauling, or climbing grades in permitted off-road applications.
3. May improve low-end throttle response: Cleaner airflow and proper tuning can help the truck feel more responsive at lower RPM.
4. Can reduce EGR-related fault points: Codes such as P0401 and P0402 are common on aging EGR systems. Removing failed EGR components may reduce repeated EGR valve, cooler, and sensor-related repair issues in off-road applications.
5. Pairs with throttle valve delete and compatible tuners: On many Ram 6.7L Diesel setups, EGR delete is commonly paired with throttle valve delete and a compatible tuner such as Mini Maxx V2 or EFI Live.

Important Trade-Offs

1. Not intended for street use where emissions equipment is required: EGR delete kits are generally intended for off-road, racing, agricultural, or competition-use applications only.
2. Requires a compatible tuner on most modern trucks: Without proper tuning, EGR removal may trigger a check engine light, DTCs, or limp mode.
3. Installation can be difficult for beginners: Newer trucks can have tighter engine bays, more sensors, and year-specific hardware differences. Professional installation is recommended if you are not mechanically experienced.

Emissions Notice: EGR delete kits and related tuning components are generally intended for off-road, racing, agricultural, or competition-use applications only. They are not intended for registered street vehicles where emissions equipment is required.

SPELAB EGR delete kit options cover many Dodge Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine, including pickup and Cab & Chassis configurations. Fitment can vary by product, model year, emissions layout, and truck configuration, so always select the correct year-specific kit before ordering.

What Comes in a Ram Cummins EGR Delete Kit?

Depending on the selected product, a Ram Cummins EGR delete kit may include block-off plates, gaskets, coolant plugs or hoses, throttle valve delete parts, EGR cooler-related hardware, installation instructions, or tuner-related support. Basic EGR kits and full delete packages do not include the same components, so always review the individual product page before purchase.

What Changes After a Ram Cummins EGR Delete?

Results depend on truck condition, tune quality, driving load, altitude, installation quality, and supporting parts. An EGR delete kit can help reduce EGR-related restriction and soot recirculation in permitted off-road applications, but it should not be treated as a fix for every power, temperature, or drivability issue.

• Airflow: Cleaner intake routing may help reduce soot contamination from the factory EGR path.
• Throttle feel: Some trucks feel more responsive when EGR delete is paired with throttle valve delete and proper tuning.
• Reliability: Removing failed EGR components may reduce EGR valve, cooler, and gasket-related fault points.
• Limits: It will not fix bad injectors, turbo problems, boost leaks, fuel delivery issues, weak compression, or unrelated sensor faults.

Best Delete Kit Combinations for Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel

While an EGR delete alone can address EGR-related restrictions, many Ram 2500 and 3500 owners compare several combinations before choosing a setup. The right choice depends on truck use, budget, tuning, and whether the vehicle is a pickup, Cab & Chassis, farm truck, or competition-use build.

EGR Delete + Throttle Valve Delete

• Best For: Off-road towing setups, farm use, and owners wanting better throttle feel.
• What It Does: Reduces throttle restriction, supports turbo spool-up at low RPM, and may improve low-end torque feel.
• Ideal Fitment: Many 2013-2024 Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Diesel applications, depending on the specific product.

EGR Delete + Intake Manifold Upgrade

• Best For: Heavy-load off-road use, high-altitude driving, and competition-use builds.
• What It Does: Supports higher airflow, improved combustion efficiency, and stronger performance when paired with supporting modifications.
• Ideal Fitment: Many 2015+ Ram 6.7 Diesel models, depending on the selected kit.

Full Delete Kit: EGR + DPF + DEF + CCV + Tuner

• Best For: Off-road trucks, farm use, or full-performance builds.
• What It Does: Combines multiple delete-related components and tuning support for a more complete off-road setup.
• Recommended Tuners: Mini Maxx V2, EFI Live, or another compatible tuner listed for the specific product.
• Note: Off-road, race, agricultural, or competition use only. Check all emissions laws before purchase or installation.

Which Delete Combo Is Right for You?

DIY-Friendly Installation with SPELAB Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel Delete Kits

Whether you are a hands-on diesel enthusiast or this is your first delete-related install, the key is to match the kit to the truck before taking anything apart. EGR delete installation requires care around coolant lines, sensors, block-off plates, gaskets, and tuning-related steps.

What to Expect

• Install Time: About 2-4 hours depending on experience, truck condition, and kit type.
• Tools Required: Basic hand tools such as socket set, extensions, wrenches, and possibly a pick or pry bar.
• Skill Level: Intermediate. No welding or fabrication is usually required for most kits.
• Tuning Required: Yes for most modern Ram 6.7L Cummins applications. Use Mini Maxx V2, EFI Live, or another compatible tuner listed for the product.

What's Included

• Step-by-step printed install guide
• QR code access to install video resources where available
• Gaskets, plugs, hoses, and hardware matched to the selected model-year kit
• Customer support for install help when needed

Step-by-Step Printed Install Guide: What's Inside

1. Disconnect the battery before starting to help prevent false fault codes or sensor shorts.
2. Drain the coolant and remove the EGR cooler and EGR valve. On some 2013+ models, the coolant return line near the rear of the EGR cooler can be tight, so use patience and proper tools.
3. Install the coolant bypass hose or block-off plate included in the kit. Make sure block-off plates sit flush and gaskets are correctly aligned.
4. When working around the turbo up-pipe flange, check alignment before tightening. Use the new gaskets provided and torque bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.
5. Carefully unplug EGR temperature and pressure sensors. Do not cut the wiring harness, because it may be needed for tuner communication or diagnostic handling.
6. After reassembly, refill and bleed the cooling system. Run the engine with the heater on to help purge air pockets and reduce hot spots.
7. Connect the compatible tuner to disable EGR-related functions and help prevent DTCs or limp mode where applicable.
