The OEM intake heater grid utilizes a poorly designed electrical terminal secured by a small nut and bolt. Over time, extreme heat cycles, engine vibration, and electrical arcing cause this bolt to weaken, break, and fall directly into your intake manifold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen that bolt drops into Cylinder #6, the results are catastrophic: shattered pistons, bent valves, destroyed cylinder walls, and a blown turbocharger. In the diesel community, this is known as the \"Killer Grid Heater Bolt.\" While Gen 5 (2019+) models saw slight improvements, high-mileage and tuned trucks are still at serious risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ultimate, Hassle-Free Insurance Policy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompetitor kits force you to painstakingly disassemble, cut, and modify your dirty, soot-filled factory heater grid to fix this issue.

We provide a completely pre-assembled, drop-in replacement plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe engineered the danger out of the design by relocating all critical mounting hardware horizontally and out of the \"drop zone.\" We upgraded to extreme high-temp, thread-locked fasteners, ensuring nothing can ever vibrate loose.

The SPELAB kit is a complete, pre-assembled replacement part. You simply unbolt your old plate, bolt ours on, and you are done. It is much faster, cleaner, and easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: My truck is a 2021 (Gen 5). Didn't Ram fix this issue?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ram shortened the bolt and added thread locker on Gen 5 models, which reduced the failure rate. However, the risk of a dropped bolt still exists, especially on tuned trucks, high-mileage trucks, or trucks subjected to heavy towing vibrations. Our plate removes the risk entirely for 100% peace of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will this trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Because this plate retains a functioning grid heater system, your truck's computer will recognize it and operate normally without throwing any codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the included 1-meter cable used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you live in an extremely cold climate and have upgraded to a SPELAB Intake Manifold (which features its own heating element), you can use this 1-meter cable to wire both the manifold heater AND this upgraded grid heater plate in series. This \"Dual Heating\" setup guarantees instant starts in sub-zero temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does this restrict airflow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not at all. In fact, because you are removing your old, carbon-choked factory grid heater, you will likely see an improvement in airflow and throttle response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---tab Shipping \u0026amp; Returns---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"policy-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"policy-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFast Shipping Policy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour order will be dispatched within \u003cstrong\u003e1-2 business days\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the package will arrive within your order's estimated date. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.spelabautoparts.com\/pages\/shipping-policy\"\u003eClick for Shipping Policy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"policy-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy Return Policy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery order comes with a \u003cstrong\u003e14-day free return\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means you don't have to pay for a return slip. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.spelabautoparts.com\/pages\/refund-policy\"\u003eClick for Return Policy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SPELAB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49157304025339,"sku":"SPJN-IS20-00001077","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/0609\/9556\/files\/03_ef86905b-79e9-4142-94cd-cd37f8152383.webp?v=1786353777","url":"https:\/\/www.spelabautoparts.com\/products\/grid-heater-delete-plate-for-2007-2024-dodge-ram-2500-3500-6-7l-diesel-spelab","provider":"SPELAB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
