FITMENT
- 2013–2018 6.7L Dodge Ram Cummins 2500 & 3500 Pickup Turbo Diesel.
- Note: Does NOT fit Cab & Chassis (3500 / 4500 / 5500 C&C) models.
DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
-
Built to handle heavy commercial loads, the 6.7L Cummins diesel is heavily constrained by factory EGR and throttle valve assemblies that continually feed hot, soot-laden exhaust gas back into the air intake. Over time, this carbon-rich residue mixes with oil mist to form a thick, restrictive sludge that starves the cylinders of oxygen and drives Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs) into dangerous territory under heavy towing conditions.
- Compounding these thermal risks, the fragile internal core of the OEM EGR cooler is highly susceptible to heat-stress cracking—allowing engine coolant to leak into the intake tract and threatening catastrophic hydro-lock. Removing these restrictive components permanently eliminates soot contamination, prevents internal coolant leaks, and restores unrestricted fresh airflow to protect your engine under max-load operation.
Key Features
- Blocks hot exhaust gas recirculation to slash towing EGTs by up to 200°F under heavy payloads
- Removes the failure-prone factory EGR cooler to eliminate coolant ingestion risk entirely
- Keeps the intake tract free of carbon sludge for cleaner combustion and reduced maintenance headaches
- Provides a pre-tapped 1/8" NPT port on the rear plate for direct EGT probe installation — no manifold drilling needed
- Uses CNC billet aluminum block-off plates and heavy-duty steel components that outlast factory hardware
FAQ
Q: Can I install an aftermarket EGT probe with this kit?
A: Absolutely. The rear block-off plate includes a pre-threaded 1/8" NPT port designed specifically for pyrometer probes, so you can monitor towing temps without touching your exhaust manifold.
Q: How do I prevent exhaust leaks at the manifold block-off plate?
A: Clean the manifold sealing surface thoroughly — wire brush or Scotch-Brite pad to remove all rust, scale, and old gasket residue. Then mount the supplied heavy-duty gasket dry and tighten the bolts evenly in a cross-pattern sequence.
Q: Does the factory EGR cooler bracket need to come off completely?
A: Yes, and that’s a benefit. Removing that massive steel bracket opens up working space around the turbo, improves under-hood airflow, and makes future service access far easier.
Q: Will my oil stay cleaner after installing this kit?
A: Stopping EGR soot recirculation significantly reduces the carbon load entering your crankcase, which helps keep oil cleaner for longer. Always follow your standard oil change schedule for best results.
Q: What other Seguler products pair well with this kit?
A: For a complete emissions system overhaul, pair this EGR delete with a 4" Exhaust Pipe & EGR Delete Kit to unlock full exhaust flow, or add the Coolant Bypass Hose Barb & EGR Delete Kit if you want the billet coolant barb upgrade included.
