Description

What’s Included

Component Description
Bench-Flash Delete Tuning The original factory ECM is removed and programmed off the vehicle with the selected emissions-off tune. This is a mail-in service rather than an OBD-II handheld tuner.
3-Inch DPF/CAT Delete Pipe Aluminized steel pipe replaces the restrictive diesel particulate filter and catalytic section to improve exhaust flow and reduce backpressure.
EGR Valve & Cooler Delete Kit Includes the parts required to remove the factory EGR valve and cooler, block the applicable passages, and stop exhaust-gas recirculation through the intake.
DEF/SCR Calibration Bench-Flash programming updates the ECM so the engine can operate with the corresponding DEF/SCR aftertreatment functions removed for off-road use.
Installation Hardware Includes the necessary supporting hardware for the supplied exhaust and EGR components.

This All-in-One bundle combines everything needed for the main mechanical and electronic changes in one complete package.

Vehicle Compatibility

This Jeep Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel delete kit is designed for:

  • Years: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018
  • Make: Jeep
  • Model: Grand Cherokee
  • Engine: 3.0L EcoDiesel
  • Body style: SUV
  • Year selector: 2014–2017 or 2018
  • Application: Off-road and race use

The hardware and calibration are designed specifically for this Grand Cherokee platform. Ram 1500, Wrangler, Gladiator, and other diesel truck builds use different parts, exhausts, and tuning solutions.

How work?

The 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel delete kit combines Bench-Flash ECM tuning with physical DPF, DEF/SCR, CAT, and EGR removal. The 3-inch pipe replaces the restrictive factory particulate-filter and catalyst section, while EGR removal prevents exhaust gas from being routed back through the intake. The ECM update changes the relevant emissions strategies so the modified system operates correctly after deleting the factory components. This freer path can improve exhaust flow, engine response, and overall efficiency.

Features

Bench-Flash is different from a conventional tuner because no device remains connected inside the vehicle and there are no switchable driving modes after installation. The original ECM is programmed directly, which provides a permanent selected tune until the module is returned to stock or reprogrammed.

The supplied exhaust section is high-quality aluminized steel rather than a stainless system. Stainless exhausts used on other applications should not be assumed to be included with this package.

The Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel delete kit is also separated into 2014–2017 and 2018 fitment options so the correct configuration can be supplied.

Tuning & Settings

The 2014-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel DPF/DEF/EGR delete kit currently offers three selectable tuning stages:

Tune Power Increase Intended Use
Economy Stock Power Factory-like output with emissions-off calibration
Stock Plus +30 HP Daily driving with improved response
Race +50 HP Highest selectable performance stage on this product card

 

Characteristic Expected Result
Maximum Listed Gain +50 HP
Fuel Economy Approximately 5–15% potential improvement
DPF Regeneration Eliminated after correct tuning and filter removal
Exhaust Flow Improved through the 3-inch replacement section
Backpressure Reduced compared with the factory aftertreatment
EGR Recirculation Eliminated after physical valve and cooler removal
ECM Programming Approximately 4–6 business days, plus return shipping time

Actual fuel economy and power depend on engine condition, maintenance, driving style, load, tire size, and selected tune.

Optional Add-Ons

  • Economy — retains stock-level power while applying the required emissions-off calibration.
  • Stock Plus — adds approximately +30 HP for stronger everyday response.
  • Race — adds approximately +50 HP for the highest performance option currently offered.
  • 2014–2017 Fitment — selects the correct configuration for earlier models.
  • 2018 Fitment — selects the year-specific 2018 configuration.

Key Benefits

Complete Emissions Solution — the Jeep Grand Cherokee DPF/DEF/EGR delete kit combines ECM programming, exhaust hardware, and EGR removal components.

Reduced Restriction — replacing the factory DPF/CAT section allows exhaust gas to move through a less restrictive pipe.

Cleaner Intake Path — EGR removal prevents soot-laden gas from continually entering the intake system.

Selectable Power — Economy, Stock Plus, and Race allow owners to choose between stock output and improved performance.

No Permanently Mounted Tuner — Bench-Flash modifies the ECM directly, so no handheld screen or in-cabin device is necessary.

Installation Information

A step-by-step installation guide is provided. Basic-to-intermediate mechanical skills are appropriate for the pipe installation, while EGR cooler removal and ECM handling require greater care.

Typical tools include metric sockets and wrenches, extensions, safe lifting equipment, penetrating oil, a torque wrench, sensor tools, and basic coolant-service equipment. A diagnostic scan tool may also be necessary before ECM removal.

Before sending the ECM, clear active codes and warnings, complete the required DPF regeneration, return any previous tuning to stock, switch the ignition off, and disconnect the negative battery cable.
We supply a prepaid shipping label and cover standard shipping costs, while any brokerage fees (rare) are the customer’s responsibility. Allow roughly 4-6 business days for processing after the unit arrives, plus 2-3 days for return transit. Bench flashing may involve extra troubleshooting and testing, so timelines can vary with workload and technical requirements. If keeping your vehicle off the road as briefly as possible is the priority, our tuner option is the better choice.
Please Note: Your prepaid shipping label remains valid for 60 days after issuance. Kindly ensure you ship your ECM within this timeframe. If your label expires before you can send the package, reach out to us for a replacement prior to shipping.

No More Emissions Codes

Correct Bench-Flash tuning prevents supported dashboard warnings, regeneration requests, limp mode, and derate conditions caused by the removed emissions system. Unrelated engine, fuel, transmission, electrical, and sensor diagnostics remain active.

Common applicable code families include:

  • DPF: P2002, P242F, P2452, P2453, P2458, P2459, P2463
  • EGR: P0401, P0402, P0403, P0404, P0405, P0406
  • DEF/SCR: P203B, P204F, P205B, P207F, P208A, P20B9, P20BA, P20EE, P229F

Exact code coverage depends on ECM strategy and the installed calibration.

FAQ

It removes the restrictive factory DPF/CAT section, disables the corresponding DEF/SCR functions through tuning, and removes the EGR valve and cooler hardware. The result is a freer-flowing off-road exhaust and an ECM calibration matched to those changes.

The 2014-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel delete kit combines the required mechanical components and Bench-Flash service in one package instead of requiring separate parts from multiple sources. The appropriate solution still depends on the vehicle’s condition and intended use.

No. Removing the factory emissions hardware without the correct ECM calibration can cause warning lights, regeneration requests, fault codes, and limited engine operation. Tuning preparation should be completed before hardware removal.

Bench-Flash programs the original ECM directly and does not require a permanently connected handheld device. It also allows the selected Economy, Stock Plus, or Race calibration to be matched specifically to the vehicle.

The selectable tunes provide stock power, +30 HP, or up to +50 HP. Reduced exhaust restriction can also improve response and create potential gains in fuel efficiency under comparable conditions.

An experienced owner can install the hardware with the supplied guide. If you are unfamiliar with ECM removal, EGR cooler work, exhaust installation, or coolant-system service, we recommend using a qualified diesel shop.
