Quick Answers: EGR Delete Kits

  • What does an EGR delete kit do?

    An EGR delete kit removes the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system from your diesel engine's intake loop. The OEM EGR pulls hot, soot-laden exhaust back into the intake manifold to reduce NOx emissions but it also raises intake charge temperatures and deposits carbon through the intake and on intake valves over time. Deleting it keeps the intake clean and charge temps lower.

  • Does an EGR delete require a tune?

    Yes, always. The ECM monitors EGR flow via differential pressure and temperature sensors in a closed-loop strategy. Without a tune, the truck will set fault codes immediately when EGR flow drops to zero and may derate or enter limp mode. A proper tune disables the EGR diagnostic monitors and recalibrates fueling and boost targets to account for the change in intake air mass.

  • What is a 6.7 Cummins EGR delete kit?

    A 6.7 Cummins EGR delete kit blocks off the EGR cooler inlet and outlet and removes the EGR valve from the intake horn. Kits include billet aluminum or steel block-off plates machined to the OEM flange spec, along with coolant bypass fittings to keep the cooling circuit intact. Paired with a tune, it eliminates one of the primary sources of carbon buildup on the 6.7 platform.

  • What is a 6.7 Powerstroke EGR delete kit?

    The 6.7 Powerstroke EGR system routes exhaust through a high-pressure and low-pressure EGR circuit, both must be addressed for a complete delete. A full EGR delete kit for the 6.7 Power Stroke includes block-off plates for both circuits, coolant reroute fittings, and a tune that disables both HP and LP EGR control strategies in the PCM.

  • Can I do an EGR delete without a full DPF delete?

    No, EGR and DPF are independent systems and should be deleted together. Many owners start with the DPF delete so there would be no back pressure on the engine. Without deleting the DPF you run the risk of damaging your engine. Then go to deleting the EGR system after the tune and pipe are deleted.

  • Will an EGR delete fix overheating on my diesel?

    It depends on the root cause. If overheating is driven by a failed EGR cooler dumping coolant into the intake a known failure mode on several platforms including the 6.7 Powerstroke and 6.7 Cummins then yes, removing the EGR cooler from the circuit eliminates that failure point entirely. If overheating stems from a different source, the EGR delete alone won't resolve it.

A failed EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) cooler is a known failure mode on the 6.7 Powerstroke and 6.7 Cummins, dumping coolant straight into the intake and showing up as overheating. An EGR delete kit removes that cooler from the coolant circuit entirely, so that specific failure point is gone for good a different reason to delete than carbon buildup, but the same hardware handles it.

Picking the right kit comes down to two facts about your truck: engine and model year. Ford's lineup covers the 2008-2010 6.4L Powerstroke plus the 6.7L Powerstroke across four year-specific kits (2011-2014, 2015-2016, 2017-2019, 2020-2025) and a universal pass-through design spanning the full 2011-2025 run. Ram's 6.7 Cummins splits into two kits, 2007.5-2009 and 2010-2024. GM Duramax runs five separate kits, one per generation from the LLY through the L5P. The 3.0L EcoDiesel, Ford's smaller 3.0L Powerstroke, and the Nissan Titan 5.0 Cummins each get their own kit too the Titan's bundles a down-pipe delete alongside the EGR work.

What's in the box is EGR hardware only: a block-off plate and the coolant fittings needed to keep the cooling circuit sealed. None of it touches DEF or SCR those are separate aftertreatment systems an EGR delete doesn't reach. What's not in the box is a tune. Every kit here needs one to keep the ECM from throwing codes once EGR flow reads zero, and that's a separate purchase on top of the kit price.

Most kits run $299 to $349 depending on platform; the Titan's combined EGR-and-down-pipe kit is $699. If you're working on a 6.7 Cummins, the $80 throttle valve delete in this same collection is worth a look too.
