Cummins EGR Delete Kits for RAM 2500 3500

What Is a Cummins EGR Delete & Which Setup Is Right for Your Ram?

A Cummins EGR delete is a critical upgrade for any owner looking to extend the lifespan of their diesel engine. The factory EGR system reroutes hot, abrasive exhaust back into your intake, causing massive carbon buildup, stuck valves, and reduced thermal 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.

Depending on your goals—whether for a dedicated off-road build or a high-mileage work truck—we offer several tiers of protection for your Ram EGR delete project:

• EGR & Coolant Bypass: Eliminates the leaking EGR cooler while maintaining proper coolant flow to the cylinder head.
• EGR + CCV Reroute: Stops both exhaust soot and oil mist from clogging your intake manifold and turbocharger.
• EGR + DPF Bundles: A mid-tier solution for those wanting to remove the two most restrictive components.
• Full Delete (DPF/Muffler/EGR/CCV/Tuner): The ultimate all-in-one ram 6.7 egr delete kit for maximum MPG and horsepower gains.

Advanced Hardware Meets Mandatory Performance Tuning

A critical part of the 6.7 Cummins full delete process is the Performance Tuner for Cummins, such as the Mini Maxx, which is included in our full bundles. This mandatory tuning is required to tell the ECM to ignore the removed sensors and prevent diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

If you have wondered about the cost of a ram EGR delete, our packages provide a cost-effective, single-purchase solution. For 2019-2024 models, we also address the Security Gateway (SGW) requirements to ensure a seamless software flash without error codes.

Installation Guidance: Tips for 2007.5-2024 Models

While installing a Cummins EGR delete kit is straightforward for DIY enthusiasts, the tight engine bay clearances on newer Ram trucks can be challenging. Total install time typically ranges from 2–6 hours, depending on the complexity of the kit (e.g., adding a full DPF/Muffler replacement).

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

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.

We provide 7/24 technical support and a 1-year warranty on every RAM 6.7 EGR delete kit we sell to ensure your project stays on track.

Frequently Asked Questions: 6.7 Cummins EGR Delete

Q: What is included in a full DPF/Muffler/EGR/CCV/Tuner delete kit?

A: This is our most complete package. It includes all physical hardware (exhaust pipes, block-off plates, reroute hoses) plus the mandatory performance tuner. This setup tells the ECM to ignore all removed sensors, ensuring error-free operation for your Ram 2500 or Ram 3500 EGR delete kit.

Q: Can I install an EGR/Coolant Bypass without a tuner?

A: No. Any modification to the EGR system, including a Cummins EGR delete, requires mandatory tuning to prevent the truck from entering limp mode. Without a tuner, the ECM will detect the absence of exhaust flow and restrict your power.

Q: Why should I add a CCV reroute to my RAM EGR delete kit?

A: The CCV system vents oily crankcase vapors back into the intake. When combined with EGR soot, it creates a thick sludge that clogs valves. Adding a CCV reroute for Cummins ensures your intake remains 100% clean of soot and oil mist.

Q: How much does it cost to delete a 6.7 Cummins?

A: The total investment depends on your specific performance goals and model year. A standalone EGR delete kit for 6.7 Cummins, focusing on essential hardware, starts at approximately $150 - $350.

However, for a complete transformation, our all-in-one ram egr delete kit bundles—which include DPF delete pipes, EGR hardware, CCV reroute, and a mandatory Performance Tuner—typically range from $800 to $1,500+.

While the initial cost is higher, these full bundles offer the best value by preventing expensive factory emissions repairs and providing long-term MPG savings.

Q: Is a 4th-gen 6.7 Cummins delete reversible?

A: Yes. If you save your factory hardware and have a tuner capable of flashing the stock file back, you can return your truck to stock configuration. However, we recommend professional assistance for the reinstallation of the DPF and EGR systems.

Q: Where can I buy the best EGR delete kit for 6.7 Cummins?

A: Right here at EGR Performance. We provide over a decade of technical expertise, free shipping, and factory-backed R&D for every Cummins EGR delete kit project.
