EGR Delete Kits

Diesel EGR Delete & Performance Kits

EGR delete kits remove or block the factory exhaust-gas recirculation setup on off-road diesel builds. The job is to stop hot soot-filled gases from going back into the intake. That capability matters on trucks that tow, idle a lot, or work under load. Less soot in the intake can help the air path stay cleaner. 

A basic kit blocks or removes the valve-side hardware. An EGR and cooler delete kit goes further by removing the cooler section and rerouting coolant away from that circuit.

Benefits and Technical Specifications

The main advantages come from less heat, less soot, and simpler airflow. On older diesels, the upgrade can make the intake side easier to keep clean. The possible benefits below are based on owner feedback (actual numbers depend on the engine, tune, and condition of the pickup):

• Airflow – improves the intake path after deleting factory recirculation.
• Horsepower – potential 5-15% gain with matching tuning.
• Boost – steadier response under towing or heavy load.
• Fuel use – owner reports show about a 5-10% improvement in fuel economy on steady routes.
• Heat control – less intake heat from recirculated exhaust.
• Service access – fewer tubes around the engine bay.

Most kits use steel or aluminum hardware, depending on the application. Before install, it’s best to check the plate surface and the coolant reroute area by hand.

Wide Selection EGR Delete Components

A Diesel EGR delete kit may come alone or as part of an all in one bundle. Some listings include full hardware. Others cover one section of the factory systems. Key components inside the kit include:

• EGR valve delete – replace or block the factory EGR valve assembly.
• EGR cooler removal – removes the factory cooler and eliminates the exhaust-gas cooling circuit.
• EGR feed tube/pipe – carries exhaust gas to the valve area.
• EGR block-off plates – seal open ports after removal.
• Coolant reroute fittings – redirect flow after cooler removal.
• Coolant lines – replace or bypass factory hoses.

Check the hardware before the first step of the process. Thread size, hose routing, and component shape can change by year. Basic quality standards matter here because one small coolant leak can undo the whole install.

Vehicle Fitment

Buyers should verify the listing details before ordering an EGR delete, especially if the truck has old modifications already fitted. At Diesel Bro, you can find EGR parts for several vehicles, but the engine code is usually the detail that decides fitment. Technical insights on each product page should guide you during the selection process.

• Ram Cummins – 6.7L (2007.5–2024), including Pickup and Cab & Chassis applications on supported model years.
• Ram & Jeep EcoDiesel – 3.0L EcoDiesel (2014–2019).
• GM / Chevy Duramax – 2.8L LWN (2016–2019), 3.0L LM2 (2020–2022), 6.6L LBZ (2006–2007), 6.6L LMM (2007.5–2010), 6.6L LML (2011–2016), and 6.6L L5P (2017–2025).

How to Choose the Right EGR Delete Kit

• Start with the exact year and engine code.
• Confirm the body style before choosing a kit.
• Decide between valve-only and cooler-delete coverage.
• Check whether the setup also needs tuners or software.
• Review off-road rules before buying or installing parts.
