The 6.7 Cummins is a diesel engine by the company Cummins. This diesel engine is commonly used in buses, commercial vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, and recreational vehicles. The engine 6.7 Cummins is famous for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and durability, and many vehicle manufacturers and operators prefer the 6.7 Cummins due to its reliability.
2016 6.7 Cummins is the model of this engine introduced in 2016, which marked the second generation of the 6.7 Cummins engine. It was released for use in heavy-duty trucks. Several updates and improvements were seen in this generation, with improved fuel efficiency, additional emission control features, etc. There is a variety in the horsepower and torque of the 2016 6.7 Cummins engine. The range of horsepower is 350 to 385, while the range of torque is 660 to 900 pound-feet, depending on the application and model. Primarily it is used in heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles.
DPF and EGR
EGR, i.e., Exhaust Gas Recirculation, is the emission control system in many diesel engines like 6.7 Cummins. This system's primary function and purpose are to reduce the number of nitrogen oxides emitting from the engine. It performs the recirculation of exhaust gas back into the engine's combustion, thus reducing the peak temperature of the combustion process. In this way, it reduces the formation of nitrogen oxides. A valve typically controls the EGR system, which regulates exhaust gas flow back into the engine. Sometimes, the EGR system may need to be replaced, removed, or cleaned in case it becomes clogged or malfunctioning.
DPF, the diesel particulate filter, is installed in the exhaust system of a diesel-powered vehicle. The device is designed to capture and filter out the particulate matter, which is also known as soot, from the exhaust gas. DPF helps to reduce the emissions of harmful pollutants like black carbon etc., from the vehicle. It is an essential component of the emission control system of the vehicle. Hence, installing this system on vehicles is necessary to avoid pollution. Sometimes, the issues in DPF make it crucial to delete DPF using 2017 6.7 Cummins DPF and EGR delete kit.
EGR and DPF systems aim to reduce the emissions of pollutants from the diesel engine. The significant difference between both systems is the type of emissions they are designed to reduce. DPF is used to reduce particulate emissions, while EGR is used to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. They both work to maintain the overall quality of air.
But sometimes, the emissions and exhausts affect the working of the engine. The particles are caught in the engine valves, thus reducing their working efficiency. So, the system will need to require 2017 6.7 Cummins DPF and EGR delete kit to delete DPF or EGR to maintain the efficiency of the engine.
6.7 Cummins DPF delete kit
There are 6.7 Cummins DPF delete kits available in the market. The delete kit can be used when it is required to remove the DPF system. A DPF delete pipe is a pipe installed in a vehicle's exhaust system in place of the factory-installed DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). The purpose of a DPF delete pipe is to bypass the DPF, allowing exhaust gas to flow through the pipe without passing through the filter. This can result in increased performance and fuel efficiency. The DPF delete kit comprises only a pipe. This pipe replaces the SCR piping and stock DPF. The 6.7 Cummins DPF delete pipe thus increases the engine's efficiency by replacing the stock DPF and SCR piping.
6.7 Cummins EGR delete kit
The EGR delete on 6.7 Cummins can help improve the engine's performance. Many delete kits available in the market can be used to delete 6.7 Cummins EGR. The EGR delete kit is the set of components that work together to remove/delete EGR from the system. In many areas, it is illegal to completely delete EGR from the system, but it is sometimes necessary to remove it. The EGR delete kit is sometimes called the EGR valve delete kit. The kit is installed between the engine intake and exhaust on the EGR valve and the 6.7 Cummins EGR cooler. Then it prevents the gas from passing through the engine.
