2013-2018 6.7 Cummins Performance Upgrades & Delete Kits

Unlocking the Potential: 2013-2018 Cummins Reliability & Power

Navigating the 2013-2018 platform requires a professional touch. These years brought significant chassis and emissions changes that demand specific Cummins aftermarket parts. Whether you are hauling heavy or building a street beast, we bridge the gap between "parts" and "proven solutions."

1. Emissions & Exhaust (Ending the DEF Nightmare)

The 2013-2018 6.7 Cummins engine is a workhorse, but the DPF and SCR systems are major bottlenecks. Our DPF Delete Pipe and EGR Delete Kits remove these soot-traps, preventing carbon buildup and lowering EGTs.

For a total overhaul, our Complete Delete Combo Kits ensure your 2013-2018 Ram 2500/3500 delete kit works in perfect sync with the ECU, ending the cycle of fuel-wasting "Regen" and expensive sensor failures.

2. Induction & Air Flow (Optimizing the Radius-Arm Chassis)

To maximize combustion, you need volume and velocity. Replaces the restrictive factory setup with our high-flow 6.7 Intake Horn and Intercooler Pipes. Unlike early models, the 2013-2018 induction path benefits significantly from a Throttle Valve Delete, providing an unobstructed air channel.

Want that aggressive turbo sound? Our 6.7 Cummins blow off valve kit and 6.7 Cummins down pipe deliver the flow and the signature diesel note.

3. Tuning & Electronics (Solving the ECU Lockout)

The 2013-2018 6.7 Cummins tuner is the most critical component. These years feature higher security levels; our solutions provide the necessary delete tunes for 6.7 Cummins to bypass the SCR/DEF logic without expensive unlock cables.

Protect your investment with a 2013-2015 Cummins Tuner Harness Plug Kit, sealing your exposed electrical pins from road salt and moisture.

4. Critical Reliability: Cooling & Fuel Security

Don't let a "hot" #6 cylinder ruin your build. Our Coolant Bypass Kit is essential insurance for any 2013-2018 head gasket. For those with the 68RFE transmission, our Transmission Cooler Thermal Bypass ensures immediate fluid flow, keeping temps low during heavy towing.

To keep your turbo pristine, the CCV Reroute/Delete Kit, like a 2017 Cummins CCV delete, stops oily sludge from coating your intercooler pipes. Don't forget the small details—our Billet Gas Cap provides a high-quality, O-ring sealed upgrade over the flimsy factory plastic.

Expert Tech Insight: 68RFE vs. Aisin TuningThe 2013-2018 models offer two automatic transmissions. If you are using a 2016 Ram 2500 tuner with the 68RFE, we recommend moderate power levels to preserve the overdrive clutches. Aisin owners enjoy higher torque capacity but still benefit from the improved shift logic found in our 6.7 Cummins performance upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions: 2013-2018 6.7 Cummins Solutions

Q: Is it legal to delete the EGR or DPF on a 2013-2018 Cummins?

A: No, deleting the EGR or DPF is illegal in the U.S. under the Clean Air Act. It’s only allowed for off-road/racing use. Check local laws.

Q: Can I install a 6.7L Cummins delete kit myself?

A: Yes, if you have the right tools and mechanical skills. However, it’s complex, and a professional is recommended if you're unsure.

Q: How long does it take to install a delete kit?

A: It can take 4-6 hours for a professional. DIY installation may take 8 hours or more, depending on your experience.

Q: Does a delete kit fix the 'Service DEF' message on my 2015 Ram?

A: Yes. A 2015 Ram delete kit combined with a 6.7 Cummins tuner bypasses the SCR/DEF logic. This stops the ECU from monitoring the urea system, effectively ending "Service DEF" messages and preventing your truck from entering Limp Mode.

Q: Is the 2013-2018 ECU harder to unlock than earlier years?

A: Yes, 2013+ models introduced higher security. However, our 2013-2018 6.7 Cummins tuners are specifically designed to handle these protocols. We provide the guidance and hardware to ensure a smooth installation without needing complex bench unlocking in most cases.

Q: Why do I need a Transmission Cooler Thermal Bypass?

A: The stock valve in the 2013-2018 68RFE transmission restricts flow until the fluid is extremely hot. Our Thermal Bypass allows constant flow to the cooler, which is a vital 6.7 Cummins performance upgrade for anyone who tows or lives in hot climates.

Q: How does a CCV Reroute protect my intercooler pipes?

A: The factory vents oily crankcase mist into the turbo. Over time, this coats your intercooler pipes and boots in oil, leading to "boots blowing off" under boost. A CCV Reroute/Delete Kit keeps your air path oil-free and dry.

Q: Are the 2013-2018 delete kits the same for Ram 2500 and 3500?

A: Generally, yes. The 2013-2018 6.7 Cummins delete kits are compatible across the 2500, 3500, and even 4500/5500 chassis within this year range, as they share the same engine and emission control systems. Always verify your specific transmission and suspension (Radius Arm) setup before purchasing.

Q: Will a delete kit void my 2017 Ram's warranty?

A: Yes. Modifying emissions systems will void the manufacturer's powertrain warranty. These 2017 Ram 2500 delete kits are intended for off-road use, racing, or agricultural applications where reliability is the top priority.
