RaceMe Ultra Tuner for the 6.7 Cummins: Fitment and EGT Sensor

Which Ram Trucks Does the RaceMe Ultra Fit?

The RaceMe Ultra Delete Tuner is listed for the Dodge Ram with the Cummins 6.7L in model years 2007 through 2021. The RaceMe Ultra Pyro EGT Sensor Kit is listed for the Dodge Ram as well. It fits 2007.5 through 2024 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins and a RaceMe Ultra tuner — it won't work with other tuner brands.^[1]

The 2007–2021 tuner bracket

Here's the thing — a Cummins under the hood only gets you halfway to a yes. Your model year has to land inside the tuner's 2007 to 2021 bracket first. Miss that window and this tuner belongs on somebody else's truck.

A lot of guys assume any Ram with the 6.7 Cummins takes this tuner. It's an easy mistake to make, and an easy one to avoid. Two quick checks settle it, and they take less time than finding your keys.

Pickups only: trims, box lengths and the body style it skips

Body style is check number two, and it's where the tuner draws its one hard line. The tuner fits Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins across all pickup trims and box lengths; does not fit Cab & Chassis trucks — call (888) 830-2588 for those.^[2]

So the trim badge and the bed length don't change the answer on a pickup. Cab & Chassis is the one body style that does. If that's your truck, make the call before anything else.

Where the EGT sensor kit's years run further

The sensor kit's bracket opens at 2007.5 and runs all the way to 2024. That's a wider window than the tuner's, and it's easy to misread. Plan the pair around the tuner's years, not the kit's.

Why does that matter? The kit needs the tuner to do its job, so the tuner's bracket is the one that decides. If your Ram sits outside the tuner's years, talk to us before you plan anything around this pair.

Checking your truck against the table

Two checks, in order. Find your engine and model year in the table, then confirm the truck is a pickup and not a Cab & Chassis.

Both boxes ticked? Then you're clear to look at what the tuner actually does.

What Does the RaceMe Ultra Delete Tuner Do?

The tune is only part of the package. The Ultra also runs a live engine monitor for boost, EGT, RPM, and load, includes 68RFE transmission tuning, gets monthly firmware updates, and has an ECM recovery function if a programming sequence is disrupted.^[2] No laptop, no dealership, no downtime.^[2]

How the tune gets onto the truck

We get it — tuning sounds like a laptop-and-cables job that eats a whole weekend in the garage. This one skips that picture. Your side of the job comes down to two things: getting the vehicle form right and plugging in.

The tune is built around your truck before the tuner ever reaches your hand. Get the form right, and the plug-in is the easy part.

The live engine monitor

Why does a live monitor matter on a competition build? Because a number you can see beats a feeling you have to guess at. Boost, EGT, RPM and load cover the readings you'll actually glance at between runs on the dyno.

Between rounds, a quick look at the screen tells you whether the truck has settled or needs another minute. Keep that EGT reading in mind, too. It comes back in a big way when we get to the sensor kit.

Transmission tuning, firmware updates and ECM recovery

The transmission tuning is the piece a lot of guys forget is in there. You don't need a second box to get it. Monthly updates mean the tuner doesn't sit still after you plug it in, either.

The recovery function is the safety net, not the plan. Give every flash your full attention and leave the cable alone until it finishes.

How Do You Order a Tune Built for Your VIN?

Here's how the order goes. After purchase you'll get a vehicle information form; submit your VIN and details so we can build your custom tune.^[2] Tuners are built to order and not refundable once the tune is created.^[2] Check the VIN twice before you send that form.

The vehicle information form

Every answer on that form ends up in your tune. Fill it out with the truck in front of you, not from memory.

Got notes on what's already been changed on the truck? Have them handy before you sit down with the form. It beats guessing at a question and hoping for the best.

Why the tune is built to your VIN

A lot of guys assume a wrong tune can just be sent back and swapped. That's the assumption that costs money. Your tune is made for one truck, the one on the form.

That makes the form the one step with no undo button. Slow down there and the rest of the job gets easy.

What to double-check before you send it

Run through this list with the truck parked in front of you:

• Read the VIN off the truck itself, character by character.
• Match the model year against the fitment table up top.
• Confirm the truck is a pickup, not a Cab & Chassis.
• Note anything already changed on the truck.

A few careful minutes here beat a tune that doesn't match your truck. Send the form once every line is right.

What Should You Expect During Installation?

Start with the tuner. Many owners install it themselves in under 30 minutes through the OBDII port under the steering wheel.^[2] The RaceMe Ultra Pyro EGT Sensor Kit, listed for the same Dodge Ram, is the half that takes planning. No welding is required if your exhaust already has a 1/8-inch NPT bung; if it doesn't, a local muffler shop can weld one in.^[1]

Plugging in the tuner

This is the easy half of the job. You're working from the driver's seat, not flat on your back under the truck. Sit down, find the port, and work through the steps without rushing.

Route the cable so your knee can't catch it mid-flash. A calm install beats a rushed one every time.

Checking the exhaust for a bung

Here's where the sensor kit gets real. Get eyes on the exhaust and look for an existing bung before you plan anything else.

Found one? Then the welding question answers itself, and the kit goes in on your own schedule.

When the sensor kit goes to a muffler shop

No bung? That's a stop on the way, not a dead end. Tell the muffler shop the thread size up front and bring the probe along so they can check the fit.

Get the bung in first. The probe and the wiring come after, so you only handle the sensor once.

What to check when you're done

Fire the truck up and make sure the EGT reading shows on the tuner's screen before you call it finished. Then look the fitting over again after the first hard run. A quick look now beats a surprise at the next event.

What Does the RaceMe Ultra Pyro EGT Sensor Kit Add?

The RaceMe Ultra Pyro EGT Sensor Kit is listed for the Dodge Ram with the Cummins under the hood. This kit installs into your exhaust and feeds live temperature data to the Ultra, which displays EGT on-screen alongside boost, RPM, and your other vitals.^[1] A dual-ferrule compression fitting with a 1/8-inch NPT thread seals it leak-free, and it reads up to 2200°F.^[1]

From the exhaust to the Ultra's screen

Plenty of owners see EGT on the tuner's monitor list and figure the kit adds nothing. That gets it backwards. A gauge slot is only as good as the sensor feeding it, and this kit is the sensor.

Once it's in, the temperature sits on the same screen as boost and RPM. There's no new gauge to learn.

The probe and the shielded wire

A temperature number you can't trust is worse than no number at all. The probe is stainless steel, built for continuous high-temp exposure, and the signal wire is RFI-shielded so electrical noise from the ignition and boost systems doesn't make your readings jump around.^[1] Steady readings are the whole point.

The fitting and the reading range

Why does the top of the range matter? You want the gauge still reading on your hardest pull of the day, not pegged right when you need it most.

Pair that range with a leak-free seal and you've got a sensor worth leaving in for the long haul. It's a small part doing a big job.

Do You Need the EGT Sensor Kit With Your RaceMe Ultra?

Your exhaust gas temperature tells you exactly how hard the engine is working.^[1] Without it you're flying blind — an EGT spike can cook a turbo, hurt pistons, or crack an exhaust manifold before any warning light shows up.^[1] If your truck works hard on the dyno or at the sled pull, the RaceMe Ultra Pyro EGT Sensor Kit earns its place.

Why exhaust temperature tells you how hard the engine works

Let's break it down from inside the cylinder. In diesel engines, internal combustion results in expansion of high-temperature, high-pressure gases, which in turn move pistons, transforming chemical energy into mechanical energy.^[3] Every pull your truck makes starts with that heat, and the probe is how you see it.

What an EGT spike can damage

Buckle up, because this is the part that costs real money. Picture the end of a hard pass at the sled pull: the truck sounds healthy, the dash is quiet, and the turbo is already cooking.

A live EGT number is how you catch that before the teardown does. On the dyno, it means you can back out of a run the moment the number climbs.

The one compatibility limit

Settle one thing before the sensor kit goes on your list. The RaceMe Ultra Pyro EGT Sensor Kit for 2007.5–2024 Ram 6.7L Cummins adds real-time Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) monitoring through your RaceMe Ultra tuner.^[1]

Running another brand of tuner? Then this isn't your sensor kit. Paired with the right tuner, it drops straight into the screen you're already watching.

When the kit can wait

Building in stages? If the budget only stretches to one part right now, the tuner is the one. The kit can follow once the truck starts seeing harder runs.

Which RaceMe Ultra Setup Should You Buy?

For a 2007 to 2021 Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup with the 6.7L Cummins, the RaceMe Ultra Delete Tuner is the tuner to order. The RaceMe Ultra Delete Tuner is priced from $1,634.00 to $1,934.00. Free shipping and lifetime tech support are included.^[2] The RaceMe Ultra Pyro EGT Sensor Kit is priced at $209.00.

The tuner on its own

Every setup in this guide starts with the tuner. Bang for your buck, that's where your money does the most work: the tune, the live monitor, the transmission tuning and the recovery function in one device.

If your truck is a pickup inside the tuner's bracket, start there. Nothing else in this setup works without it.

The tuner plus the EGT sensor kit

For a Ram with the 6.7L Cummins already running a RaceMe Ultra, the RaceMe Ultra Pyro EGT Sensor Kit is the add-on to order. It turns the tuner's screen into a real early warning for your workhorse.

No surprises at the door, either. Free shipping, tech support included.^[1]

What each part costs

Here's the whole bill in one place. Prices are listed per product, so the pair is the two rows added together.

The sensor kit is a small slice of the tuner's price, and it's a lot of peace of mind for a hard-working Cummins. So here's the ranking: the tuner first, because nothing else here works without it, and the kit second, for any truck that sees hard runs on the dyno or at the pull.

Start with the tuner. Add the kit when your build calls for it, and get the VIN form right the first time.
