- You don't have to be a mechanic to transform your off-road Ram! Unleash the beast in that Cummins!
Note: You need to have a tuner and tunes BEFORE doing this. Also, don't do this on the weekend when the place that gives you tunes is closed. You might run into problems and can't get in touch with them! You won't be able to do those farm tasks with your offroad farm truck until they open!
Finally, *DO NOT* do this on trucks that will be on the road. As with all other videos, this is for education only and *I* am not responsible for things *YOU* do to YOUR (or anyone else's) truck.
thank for the time making the video, good stuff. They shorted me an male adapter with an O ring for the coolant hose, scratching my head on that one.
I hope everything turned out well.
Out of all the videos on this project this is one of the better ones out there!
I appreciate the compliment
@@saltydawgdiesel2243 you’re welcome!
Thanks for the tip on the 15mm flex head just did my truck and that was a life saver
Yeah I wanted to share any problems or issues that I ran into.
Be careful when taking a deleted truck to your dealership for a recall item. Here in CA, the dealership reported my friends truck to the air resource board and DMV flagged it. He could NOT register it in the state and they required an inspection immediately. He had to license it to a family member in another state.
Well that's CA for ya😅
Why i dont live in commiefornia anymore
Very informative thanks for sharing!
You're welcome and thanks for the compliment!
Awesome video sir. Thank you.
How to repair front bearings on 2012 Dodge RAM 35006.7 diesel 4x4 longhorn high output
Thank you for this video!!!!! Just deleted mine off my 2018 dodge 3500 💯😎🙏🏿🤘🙌
Where could i find an egr delete kit for my 19 ram 3500?
Great video ! Thanks
good video I just finished mine
The left side support bracket is different from mine, mine come with a round curve to fix the new connector, but cannot fix to the engine, will check later,
Thanks for video!
That 8mm bolt for the crossover pipe shouldn't be that hard. So many videos of guys mentioning it. The nut on the backside is welded on them all. The bolt comes out from the front like you did it. If you're doing a delete, you're dropping the coolant for sure so take the upper radiator hose and use a regular rachet/short extension.
Couldn’t find my flex head combination wrench and went to every store to look for one and they had everything but a 15mm when I say the struggle is real it most definitely is lol
amazon.
EPA knows and bought them all from the stores 😂😂
well explained, thank you
You're welcome!
Thanks for the video. What Submarine or Submarines where you on?
The ccv delete and the intake baffle are controversial ones and I doubt if I'd do it
If you were frustrated with the EGR crossover bolt pipe.lemme introduce you to GM Duramax LML engineering
Yes, I heard that the Dmax LML is a real PITA!
Same with the Powerstrokes it seems these v8 turbo diesels are harder and more complex to delete I've watched some videos and they need grille headlight removed on the Powerstrokes.
Is love to see a follow up video about how your experience has been a year later since you have done these deletes?
Reliability? Codes? Power improvements? Fuel economy improvements? Your opinion on performance and drivability? Does it roll coal? Any run ins with hwy patrol or fines or anything?
I'd also love to see more video of the truck running... maybe some drive by footage...
Well I have been having issues with my video software, so I can't make another video right now. But I will quote what I wrote on another similar response...
My experience has been really awesome. It definitely has more power, along with better pedal response. I can't tell you much about fuel mileage because I also change tires at around the same time to 35s with a leveling kit. I get about 17.5 miles per gallon but I drive it like a truck, not a race car. I have the 5 position SOTF switch and I keep it on the lowest setting because I do some Towing. I've not had any codes thrown, except for the transmission recall which the dealership fixed with no issues whatsoever, even with the tunes. Needless to say, I'm extremely satisfied with the finished job and the tunes, but I will not go into which tunes I use because that's not the purpose of the video. I will say that I had transmission tuning, which does improve the transmission shifting. It also you're supposed to increase the reliability of the transmission, but again I have had no issues with it except for the recall.
@@saltydawgdiesel2243 do you still have the truck? What year is it? About to delete mine wondering how the reliability has been and if there has been any problems. Appreciate the video. Thanks!
I did this on my 15 3500 at 120k miles I’ve put 40k on it since then.
Also straight piped the exhaust and added the EZ link 5 level tuner with the knob that mounts so u can select level 1-5 tune. Zero issues good milage improve for levels 1-2. 3-4 all about heavy tow and stupid power. Only regret was I didn’t do it the min my warranty ran out.
I’ve recently had CEL which the code says no signal to turbo actuator but I’m told it’s the a actuator itself and it’s about the milage they act up. The light goes off after 1-2 key start cycles haven’t noticed any preformance or drivability issues
Were you about to put all 4 bolts back in the shroud that covers the cross over tube? I like the idea of putting that back on. Can you show how the coolant lines get rerouted? Thanks for your help!!
I believe the very end of the video shows a better view of the coolant reroute because I had issues with the bracket I got (it was made for a pre-2012, long story). I did put the shroud back on, but you can't use all of the bolts because during the delete, you actually remove the brackets that the bolts go into.
Looks good, hopefully it has worked out well for you. What year is your truck?
Thanks! It's a 2016.
can you do a review video of the catch can you are ordered, I have done alot of research and seems like all the good catch cans are small and will have to be emptied alot or they are large and really expensive.

did you already tune the truck before you removed all of this?
Im sure i could do all the hard work myslef but thinking if the truck needs to be updated or something cause of the sensors ?? How could i cancel them ??
If//when doing the EGR and DEF Delete on 6.7 up top of motor an remove exhaust and strght pipe back. Will u Hav2 Buy anD Install a Tune? Or can u just leave As Is and drive it? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the video. I swear I caught a glimpse of a set of dolphins on your wall...
You did, sir.

@@saltydawgdiesel2243 Roger that I was an A-Ganger on the Oklahoma City from 96-99.
I love your ideal
Dang my kit didn't come with the spacer.
great video bud, up until about 20 mins, then its just the back of yer head, i'm at that long bracket part and my instructions are very vague,
I have a 2011 I need a egr. delete kit. Can you help me with some info ? Thank you.
Good video been debating on doing mine now too ... how do you like it so far deleted and did you do a transmission tune either way make sure you let your transmission relearn before you romp on it 😁👍🏼
At first I was skeptic because I still had quite a bit left on my warranty. However, after having it done for a month now, I won't turn back! I get much better fuel mileage, the truck has a lot more power, and the throttle response is out of this world! I went with an engine tune and a transmission tune through PPEI.
When doing this, do you have to get a tuner?? Just curious. Or is it something I can save a few months for?
@@jet0577 need tuner
@James Perkey what tuner do you recommend
@@justinteel7172 mine is the h&s minimaxx & I LOVE it! Id go efi live if possible tho
Good job for your first video. Look forward to seeing more. What brand is the delete kit? What year is your truck? How many miles?
I actually got the delete kit and EZLynk from a guy who bought them with PPEI tunes and sold his truck before installing them. The delete kit was for a 2012 truck, but mine is a 2016, hence the issue with the bracket that I had to cut. At the time of the delete, my truck had about 68k.
I am interested in doing an EGR and DPF delete on my 2016 Dodge 6.7L Cummins. I watched your video, and I have a few questions. What year is the truck that you are working on? What delete kit did you use? Did the kit include the tuner? I'm not sure of what kit to use. The Raceme Ultra Programmer claims that you don't have to remove the EGR valve or cooler. Please get back to me.
That truck is a 2016 Laramie Longhorn (doesn't make a difference, tho.). I actually ran across the delete kit from an ad where the guy bought it for his 2013 then sold the truck before installing. Came with the EGR hardware, Flopro 4" turbo back exhaust, EZ Lynk, and tunes from a dealer that had to be switched to my truck (they had never been installed). Unfortunately, I don't have any other experience with any other tunes or hardware. I just installed everything and filmed it. I'm not a mechanic or an installer/dealer. I'm just an everyday dude.
I think you need to use the gaskets that came with egr kit
No, it didn't come with any. I reused existing gaskets and haven't had a problem.
Nice Video, well done. Which kit did you purchase for the DPF and EGR delete?
Options are limited these days it would seem. Nobody reputable carries them anymore.
@@marshie1337 Diesel Dudes....full selection
Hoping you see this, 3 years later..
I'm charging up the batteries in my 14 Ram right now to delete with the efilive v3 now.
On the EGR, Passenger side, I see the one on "top/side" but what about the one just lower of it, to the left/right of the vehicle. It looks like it's all part of the egr circuit.
Am I wrong? Does it need to go as well?
I'm not sure what upper and lower part you're talking about. As I remember it was one piece, the crossover pipe, and the egr valve.
Also what programmer etc did you use ?
I use an EZ-Lynk with PPEI engine tunes and TCM tunes. I'm really impressed with their tunes and customer service. However, that doesn't mean that other tuners are better or worse. I don't have any other tunes to compare. I think any of them are way better than stock for racing, mudding, etc.
Could I remove all those systems and put blockoff plates inside the egr with a welder while keeping all the emissions crap so it passes inspection and achieve the same thing minus the weight reduction.
Maybe so, you just need to block the path. If you do, let us know and post some pictures!
Hi Dave... I've watched many videos on the EGR delete... and I don't see why that wouldn't work.
I'm planning to do this exact idea... and for the same reason you mentioned... especially because I use my truck commercially for my business. So I'm mostly concerned with reliability and longevity... with maybe a lil performance enhancement. So i dont plan to be ripping around in the highest tune and rolling coal.
So I'm hoping if it looks like it's there... hopefully that would be good enough...
Because ehen talking to my mechanic... he pointed out that it should work... and was a good idea if they only visually inspect your vehicle... however... if the put an OBD reader on your truck to check if it's functioning... they will still know right away.
Will do!
@@DustinWoloschuk yes obviously that. The problem is if you gut your dpf scr etc. And weld plates inside you need a new ECU and whole new ever system and pipe from the turbo back. When you go in for emissions but except that that seems the best way to go for commercial. Good luck!
@@davidb1089 Thanks for replying!!!
sorry... i didn't mean "weld" plates... that was auto correct. I meant to say "install" plates. And leave everything in place.
Also... I'm from Ontario Canada... and luckily are new member of parliament discontinued emission testing... though it is still illegal to delete this stuff... we no longer have to emission test.
Therefore I'm hoping if i just block everything off... and tune the computer to ignore everything... IF i get pulled over... they will see everything is stl there and let me go.
I'm just not going to drive around in the highest tune rolling coal everywhere...no need to poke the bear and be an idiot... and hope i get away with it.
Wish me luck!!!
Anyway... your 2 videos are great!!! I hope you'll make some more soon!!!
Whats the cost to full delete 2013 6.7 dodge
Question from Down under. I own a 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 Big Horn Diesel Turbo. The adblue spray symbols shows on dash going into limp mode in 320 klms to 8 klms per hour. I have had the following replaced by Ram dealership Adblue injector, Feeder hose, pump/sender. Adblue has been changed numerous times. The vehicle has been to an auto electrician to run diagnostic checks and three different ram dealership later. No one can provide me with a solution to the issue with this vehicle going into Limp mode after travelling 60 klms. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, No one seems to have the technical know how in Australia.....
Disassemble the catalic and muffler and power wash with hot water. We do this to a truck every 3 o six months it gets plug with carbon most equipment with def sistem very expensive. To fix
I have the delete kit. Did you have to tune. or is it fine without a tune?
Nevermind, saw a comment down below. Could you maybe put the answer in the description? thanks :)
Thanks for the recommendation. It's changed!
I want my 6.7 back. 5.9 is no comparison
Do you need to unplug anything on the pipe below the egr valve
I think I showed the EGR plug that had to be unplugged at the beginning. You couldn't see it from above so I had my phone dive down to the bottom.
Hopefully that CO2 cartridge is spent!!
Yes it was, LOL...
Where did you find your delete kit and what was the cost?
There's a bunch of them on eBay too
If you're going to make a how-to then show all of the steps!
He did not show everything for liability reasons.
Do you have to program or flash your truck after the Egr delete to avoid codes ?
From what I remember, yes.
Do you need a tuner after you take off the egr stuff??
Yes. Otherwise you'll throw all kinds of codes!
@@saltydawgdiesel2243 what tune and where can I purchase it?
My truck is the same on that middle bolt
That was a real pain for me!
Been wanting to delete mine but I'm hearing a lot of talks about cracking down on inspection. My buddy has a off road shop and doesn't do them any more do the shops getting hefty fines and he says there's a lot of talks about then making it to where you can't pass emissions without that junk on there. Supposably all the rolling coal and blocking Tesla charging stations has caused so much attention that they doubling down on us. What is your opinion my brother?
Well that's a slippery slope... But as far as I know, there's nothing against deleting emissions for off-road trucks. But my opinion is that it's my truck... And honestly I think that I should be able to drive my truck how I want to...I dunno... Maybe the state could offer truck owners the option to drive without emissions on roads at a *SLIGHLTY* higher cost (registration or emissions exemption), but I think their version of "slightly" is probably different than mine. Regardless, I think that truck owners who act irresponsibly (rolling coal, etc) are the ones causing so much pain for those who want to drive their trucks on the roads.
SaltyDawg Diesel nice video I have a 13 that I want to delete. You’re right the people who roll coal is making Diesel engines look bad and taking away from us who just want our trucks to last longer
I have a 14 has 210k and I deleted at 95k. I just unhooked everything under the hood didn't remove anything. I bought the kit when I bought the tuner way back when. But I'm wondering if there is an advantage to removing vs just unhooking??
Oooh, I can answer this. Yes, I'm deleted with egr in place and on a 1,100 mile trip pulling a 5th wheel the egr valve somehow got stuck open. The egr cooler blew, so lost coolant the entire time, and pressurized the radiator. I had to stop every hour or two to relieve pressure and put coolant back in the radiator. I'm blocking all that stuff off with a delete kit soon to never do that again.
This is exactly what I was wondering. Where the crossover pipe goes in front of the head with the two clamps, if you could just block it off right at the clamps?
I know this is an old comment but I’m wondering, Did you ever blocked everything off? Do you tow anything like the comment mention? Any issues? I just did this and just unhooked everything
@@TomNiehoff do you tow often? And does unhooking everything is the same as blocking if the egr valve would have never gotten stuck open? Basically if your valve would have never gotten stuck open you would have never had any issues?
If I do a EGR delete , would I need a tuner moving forward or not ?
This is what I'm wondering ... Any answers ? Do I need a tuner when deleting the EGR system ??? Or can I just delete it without a tuner.
Why is the audio working but not the video?
I've not had any complaints about that before.
It's been a year or so since, Pros/Cons, any issues comments that you would like to talk about?
My experience has been really awesome. It definitely has more power, along with better pedal response. I can't tell you much about fuel mileage because I also change tires at around the same time to 35s with a leveling kit. I get about 17.5 miles per gallon but I drive it like a truck, not a race car. I have the 5 position SOTF switch and I keep it on the lowest setting because I do some Towing. I've not had any codes thrown, except for the transmission recall which the dealership fixed with no issues whatsoever, even with the tunes. Needless to say, I'm extremely satisfied with the finished job and the tunes, but I will not go into which tunes I use because that's not the purpose of the video. I will say that I had transmission tuning, which does improve the transmission shifting. It also you're supposed to increase the reliability of the transmission, but again I have had no issues with it except for the recall.
@@saltydawgdiesel2243 Hi, could you explain how the SOTF switch works? And how much HP you can add safely to a stock ram?
You don’t have to be a chef to make spaghetti. No respect for mechanics. UA-cam makes everybody an expert now.
Very true! But a lot of people are afraid to touch their trucks because there aren't very many spaghetti meals that are $50,000 or more.
How long did this take to complete
Well, just this portion of the delete only took about four hours, and I was videoing the process. However, it does not include removal of the DPF and reinstalling the straight pipe. That took a couple of hours as well.
I guess you don't need a programmer if you are alright with having a check engine light on all the time?
I don't know that I agree with that because the absence of DEF would eventually put the truck in limp mode and limit it to 5 mph (or something like that).
Did it help with temps
To be perfectly honest I didn't monitor Temps before.
Can you give me a link to the programmer, tuner and exhaust kit you used to delete the dpf? Also, is there any reason to remove egr if your tuner just turns it off?
I used PPEI tunes at PPEI.com. They sell the EZ-Lynk programmer/monitor. I'd ask them about the EGR valve. Before I deleted, I was able to run specific tunes from them, but I had to unplug the EGR. That procedure is also discussed in the video.
The concern with leaving it on is a possible coolant leak in the future. The exhaust gases won't be flowing through the egr anymore, just hot gases sitting in the egr cooler. If it decides to leak it will cause a real headache
Salty. What exhaust kit is used....have a link/source?
@@brianlidgard2730 I don't have a link. It was bought for an earlier model truck but the guy sold the truck before installing.
Did you use a tuner
Yes, you have to use a tuner because it will throw codes and the tunes bypass the codes. However, I won't go into detail about what tunes I used.
What year is the truck ?
2016
Did you delete your egr cooler ?
Yes
You dont have to be a mechanic but holy fuck the 2 back bolts behind the head is insane, you can't see shit so its luck and having the right tool, there's no other options, you need the right tool. And of course edited out that part lol... I was praying that my socket would land right on the bolt and would break free. I was lying on top of the engine with a make shift ratchet extender etc.. it's doable but that can be a deal breaker if you cant get them removed. BE WARNED...
next time your at the turbo...Remove the silencer ring as well.
The Bully Dog tuner will NOT work with an EGR delete. It pretends like everything is fine as you go through the install. but then will not let you start it the second time. Don't waste your time.
I don't know anything about Bully Dogs... I used an EZLynk tuner.
08 are damn near impossible to delete been on a single nut for over an hour. shoulda kept it stick
Well that decision is up to you... I think it's probably worth the time to get that one nut so that I didn't have to worry about it again.
@@saltydawgdiesel2243 lol ended up getting it off but broke the stud in half but she's deleted and tuned now

all was going great until it was time to get working on the cooler part and then ? "CENSORED" WTF Bro...

What company you went with
I'm not going to go into which tunes I'm running. I don't want to appear to promote one company over another.
Just go and Google it .reason why a lot of guys won't tell you wich company they get from is because they don't want to get the company in trouble with the EPA .thats the reason why
@@robertdivany1627 I understand now . So much shit going on right now they are suing ezlink now
@@Will40th .yup ,I heard that the EPA is cracking down on shops that do delete egr systems. So no shop want to do that anymore .but this videos are very helpful
@@robertdivany1627 true , went to shop the guy didn’t want to talk about . He gave me ridiculous quote to delete it . I think was more to see what I would do plus . Cause of the epa offroad tunes are so crazy expensive now
Update?
Still going strong
yeah, but where are you going to get the parts from now that the EPA is cracking down on anyone that sells a delete kit.
The parts can still be sourced on-line.
I ordered all my parts 3 days ago and will be deleting my 18 Cummins sometime in the next couple days when everything gets here
Not to mention the better fuel economy means less fuel burned wwich means less polution so better for the enviroment. So lets delete all the trucks
@@CreossCross Any updates on your install? Are you happy with it?
tomduncan1970 cant even explain how happy I am with it, best thing I’ve done for the truck by far. I used a ez lynk 2.0/ full egr delete/ stock exhaust but I threw a straight pipe in where the dpf used to be.
Where could i find a delete kit for my 19 ram 3500?
Ive tried finding one for my 2008 Dodge 6.7. Cant find them anymore. Apparently the feds outlawed them. You can still do it, but it's going to be more tricky to get the parts or fabricate them.
I have 2500 cummins 08 i wants to do dpf n egr delete but i wants leave the stock muffler cause i don't want to be loud truck?
The only thing that I would think you could do that is to hollow out the dpf... Or get something like a flopro twister.

Can I delete if I still need it smog every two years
No
Yes if you keep your stock parts and don't mind doing this every 2 years.
Nope. It will not pass smog. We have to reassemble everything, put on a stock tune, get tested, re-delete, and then put in the tune again and do a transmission relearn.

Yes, but what about the fines?
