2013–2018 Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins EGR Delete Kit: Fitment, Components & Installation
Clear out the crowded side of the engine bay with a hardware package built around a cleaner, serviceable EGR cooler removal layout. This FLASHARK kit is made for compatible 2013–2018 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine, with color and throttle-valve options available at the product selector.
This is the EGR cooler and throttle-valve hardware package shown on this page—not a complete DPF, DEF, CCV and tuning bundle. Before ordering, match the truck’s year, engine and body configuration, then confirm exactly what is included with the selected color/valve option.
Fitment by Model Year
| Model year | Truck | Engine | Configuration note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | Ram 2500 / 3500 | 6.7L Cummins diesel | Pickup application |
| 2014 | Ram 2500 / 3500 | 6.7L Cummins diesel | Pickup application |
| 2015 | Ram 2500 / 3500 | 6.7L Cummins diesel | Pickup application |
| 2016 | Ram 2500 / 3500 | 6.7L Cummins diesel | Pickup application |
| 2017 | Ram 2500 / 3500 | 6.7L Cummins diesel | Pickup application |
| 2018 | Ram 2500 / 3500 | 6.7L Cummins diesel | Pickup application; verify the selected variant before ordering |
This page is for the listed Ram 2500/3500 pickup application. A 3500, 4500 or 5500 Cab & Chassis truck uses a different layout and should be matched to the 2013–2018 6.7L Cummins Cab & Chassis kit. Do not order by engine size alone.
What This Kit Is Designed to Do
The hardware replaces the removed EGR cooler and related connections with the components shown for the selected kit configuration. From a technician’s point of view, the important part is not a headline power number—it is getting the correct truck configuration, sealing the coolant connections properly and knowing what the package does not include before the first bolt is loosened.
Removing EGR hardware changes the vehicle’s original emissions configuration. Results such as fuel economy, exhaust temperature, power or service life depend on the truck’s condition, calibration, load and use; this page does not promise a fixed improvement. Confirm local rules and the vehicle’s complete setup before purchase or installation.
Specifications and Variant Notes
| Brand | FLASHARK |
|---|---|
| Listed weight | 2510 g |
| Listed primary material | Aluminum alloy |
| Vehicle models | Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup |

Lay every part next to the packaging image before starting. Color alone does not confirm whether the throttle-valve component is included. Also inspect sealing surfaces, O-rings, hoses and clamps before the truck is taken apart; sorting out a missing or damaged small part is much easier with the cooling system still closed.
What Is Not Confirmed as Part of This EGR Delete Kits
- A DPF or exhaust race pipe; the matching 4-inch DPF/CAT delete pipe is sold separately
- DEF or SCR removal hardware
- A CCV reroute kit
- A tuner, tune file or engine calibration service
Those items should not be assumed from the words “delete kit.” The matching 4-inch DPF/CAT delete pipe is available as a separate product. For shoppers looking for a combined package, compare the vehicle year and every included component on the FLASHARK EGR/DPF/DEF all-in-one kit page. That linked package is currently labeled for 2013–2017 trucks, so owners of a 2018 truck should not assume compatibility.
Installation: What to Expect Before You Start
This is not a five-minute dress-up part. The illustrated procedure covers removal around the EGR cooler, installation of block-off hardware, coolant-hose routing and bracket work. Expect to work with the engine cooling system, tight fasteners and several connections in a confined area.
- Work only on a fully cooled engine.
- Review all 25 illustrated steps before disassembly.
- Plan for coolant handling and refill according to the appropriate service procedure.
- Keep removed factory parts together if future restoration may be required.
- After assembly, inspect every disturbed coolant connection and recheck the system for leaks.
- When the truck’s calibration, emissions configuration or local rules are unclear, stop and consult a qualified diesel technician before installation.

This product changes or removes original emissions-control hardware. Laws vary by location and application. In the United States, manufacturing, selling or installing parts that bypass or render required emissions controls inoperative may violate the Clean Air Act. Confirm legality for the exact vehicle and intended use before purchase. A general “off-road” label does not by itself establish legal compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions About the 2013–2018 6.7L Cummins EGR Delete Kit
Q1: Will this kit fit my 2013–2018 Ram 2500 or 3500?
A1: The listed fitment is a 2013–2018 Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine. Confirm the year, engine and pickup body configuration before ordering. Do not use the general site fitment dropdown as the only check.
Q2: Is this the correct kit for a Ram Cab & Chassis truck?
A2: No. Cab & Chassis trucks use a different kit. Owners of compatible 3500, 4500 and 5500 Cab & Chassis models should use the linked Cab & Chassis product page and verify its exact fitment.
Q3: Does every color option include the throttle-valve component?
A3: The current selector labels black, silver and red as “with valve,” while blue is labeled differently and carries another price. That suggests the contents may differ. Confirm the selected variant’s photos and packing list with FLASHARK before checkout.
Q4: Does this package include a DPF pipe, DEF hardware, CCV reroute or tuner?
A4: Those items are not confirmed as part of this SKU. The 4-inch DPF/CAT delete pipe is sold separately, while other components may be available in a broader all-in-one package. Buy from the actual included-parts list, not from the broad phrase “delete kit.”
Q5: Can I install the EGR hardware kit without changing anything else?
A5: Do not assume that. The vehicle’s calibration and remaining emissions equipment must be considered as a complete system. This product page does not include enough evidence to promise that every truck can use the hardware alone without fault codes or operating problems. Confirm the complete setup with a qualified diesel technician and check local law first.
Q6: Will the kit prevent a check-engine light or diagnostic trouble codes?
A6: No such guarantee is made. The hardware package is not listed with a tuner or calibration service, and electronic behavior depends on the truck’s existing configuration. Resolve that question before disassembly rather than after the engine is back together.
Q7: Do I need to drain coolant during installation?
A7: Plan for coolant handling. The illustrated process disturbs EGR-cooler coolant connections and routes a coolant hose. Work on a cold engine, follow the proper service procedure, and check every connection for leakage after refill.
Q8: How difficult is the installation?
A8: It is an involved engine-bay job, not a simple bolt-on cosmetic part. The instructions run through 25 illustrated steps plus bracket and hose work. Experience with diesel engine accessories and cooling systems is helpful; professional installation is the sensible choice when access, seized hardware or coolant service is unfamiliar.
Q9: What should I inspect before starting?
A9: Compare the delivered parts with the packaging image, verify the selected valve option, and inspect the plates, sealing surfaces, O-rings, hoses, clamps and hardware. Read the full instruction sequence and make sure the truck is completely cool.
Q10: Can the truck be returned to its factory configuration later?
A10: Keeping every removed factory part makes restoration more practical, but this page does not promise a quick or complete reversal. Restoration may involve hardware, coolant-system work and the vehicle’s original calibration. Plan that path before modifying the truck.
Q11: Will this kit add power or improve fuel economy?
A11: No fixed gain can be stated responsibly from the evidence on this page. Results vary with the truck’s mechanical condition, calibration, load, driving cycle and the rest of the system. The previous “up to 20%” claim has not been retained because no controlled test data is supplied.
Q12: Is an EGR delete legal for a street-driven truck?
A12: Do not assume it is. In the United States, bypassing or rendering required emissions controls inoperative may violate federal law, and state or local rules may add further restrictions. Verify the exact vehicle, jurisdiction and intended use before ordering or installing the kit.
Q13: Could this modification affect my vehicle or aftermarket warranty?
A13: It may. Warranty decisions depend on the provider, contract, modification and claimed repair. Review the vehicle and service-contract terms in writing before changing emissions hardware; this page does not promise warranty coverage.
Before You Add It to the Cart
Confirm four things: the truck is a compatible pickup rather than Cab & Chassis, the selected variant contains the parts you expect, the complete vehicle setup has been reviewed by a knowledgeable diesel technician, and the intended use is legal where the truck operates. Those checks matter more than any generic performance claim.
