How Does an EGR Delete Work on a 6.7L Cummins?

The EGR system recirculates exhaust gases into the intake, reducing emissions but causing carbon buildup, higher EGTs, and sluggish performance.

A Cummins EGR Delete removes the EGR valve and cooler, improving airflow and combustion efficiency.

This results in lower EGTs, better throttle response, and a cleaner engine, making our EGR Delete Kit ideal for Dodge Ram 2500, 3500, 4500 users.

Installation Guide: Cummins EGR Delete Kit (Tools and Steps)

Installing a RAM Cummins Delete Kit, like a 2009 6.7 Cummins EGR delete kit, or a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 delete kit, is straightforward with EGR Performance’s comprehensive kit:

Tools Needed: Socket set, wrench, flex-head ratchet, and coolant drain pan.

Steps:

• Disconnect the battery to avoid fault codes.
• Drain coolant and remove the EGR valve and cooler.
• Install CNC-machined block-off plates and coolant bypass hoses.
• Torque bolts to 120 in-lbs, ensuring proper alignment.
• Refill coolant, bleed air, and tune the ECU with a Mini Maxx V2 or EFI Live.

Install Time: 2–4 hours for intermediate mechanics.

Tip: Professional installation is recommended for 2020+ models due to tight engine bays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is an EGR delete for Cummins legal in my area?

A: Cummins EGR Delete Kits are for off-road or racing use only. Check local emissions laws before installation, as they may not be street-legal in some states.

Q: Can you delete the EGR without deleting the DPF?

A: Yes, but a tuner is required to avoid limp mode. For best results, pair with a full delete kit for off-road use.

Q: Does installing an EGR delete kit require tuning or ECU reflash?

A: Yes, tuning with a Mini Maxx V1 is essential to disable EGR functions and prevent check engine lights.

Q: Will deleting the RAM EGR system damage my engine?

A: No, a properly installed EGR Delete Kit Cummins enhances RAM engine life by reducing carbon buildup and thermal stress.

Q: Can an EGR delete be reversed if I change my mind later?

A: Yes, with the original EGR components and proper tuning, the system can be reinstalled, though professional assistance is advised.
