Description

What’s Included

Component Description
Bench Flash Tuning Service The factory ECM is removed and professionally programmed with the selected calibration, then returned for reinstallation. No handheld tuner is required.
3-Inch DPF/CAT Delete Pipe Direct-fit T-409 stainless steel pipe replaces the restrictive catalyst and particulate filter section to improve exhaust flow.
EGR Delete Kit Includes block-off plates, EGR cooler removal hardware, gaskets, coolant hose, and mounting components for valve and cooler removal.
DEF/SCR Delete Support Matching calibration supports the modified DEF/SCR system as part of the complete off road emissions configuration.
Installation Instructions Guidance covers hardware installation, ECM removal and reinstallation, and required post-install checks.

The matching 2014-2019 hardware configuration is consistent with DieselBro’s EcoDiesel catalog and the related complete Bench Flash package.

Vehicle Compatibility

Exhaust components vary by generation and model year and are not interchangeable between 2014–2018, 2019, or 2020+ models.

How work?

The 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 RAM 1500 Ecodiesel delete kit combines mechanical emissions removal with Bench Flash Tuning of the factory ECM. The pipe removes the restrictive DPF/CAT section, while the EGR hardware eliminates exhaust-gas recirculation through the valve and cooler. The recalibrated ECM modifies control of the removed DPF, DEF/SCR, and EGR components so the engine can operate without factory regeneration logic. This All-in-One bundle is designed to reduce soot loading and exhaust restriction.

Features

Bench Flash Tuning writes the selected tune directly to the factory ECM outside the vehicle, so there is no separate in-cab tuner or programming device. The source ECM is shipped for programming and returned ready to reinstall. Generation-specific pipes and EGR parts improve fitment versus later EcoDiesel components, while three available calibrations let the customer prioritize economy or power. The package can also work alongside other appropriate engine upgrades when the final configuration is correctly matched.

Tuning & Settings

The RAM 1500 Ecodiesel DPF delete kit offers three single-calibration choices:

Tune Power Increase Intended Use
Economy Stock / +0 HP Efficiency and light-duty use
Stock Plus +30 HP Daily driving and balanced performance
Race +50 HP Maximum listed off road performance

These are selected tunes, not SOTF levels. The +0 / +30 / +50 HP range is the documented Bench Flash configuration for this EcoDiesel platform.

Characteristic Expected Change
Fuel Economy Approximately 5-12% potential improvement under comparable conditions; not guaranteed
Exhaust Flow Reduced restriction compared with the factory filter system
DPF Regeneration Eliminated after the correct hardware and calibration are installed
Towing Response Better low-end response may improve drivability; factory tow ratings remain unchanged
Reliability Removes several DPF, DEF, and EGR-related failure points; normal engine maintenance remains required

Actual efficiency, boost, fuel use, and performance depend on vehicle condition, load, tires, maintenance, and driving style. DieselBro describes the EcoDiesel fuel-economy benefit as a potential rather than guaranteed improvement.

Optional Add-Ons

  • Economy – retains stock-rated power with an eco-oriented calibration.
  • Stock Plus – adds approximately +30 HP for a moderate upgrade.
  • Race – adds approximately +50 HP for the highest available setting.
  • 2014-2018 / 2019 / 2020-2023 Fitment Selection – matches the calibration and supplied components to the correct truck.

Key Benefits

Complete package – Bench Flash Tuning, exhaust pipe, EGR removal parts, and DEF/SCR support are combined in one bundle.

No handheld tuner – calibration is programmed directly into the original ECM.

Reduced restriction – removing the factory filter and catalyst improves exhaust flow.

Less soot recirculation – EGR valve and cooler removal keeps exhaust soot out of the intake path.

Three power choices – Economy, Stock Plus, and Race make it possible to select the desired performance level before programming.

Installation Information

Instructions are included, and a customer with basic mechanical skills can complete the physical installation with sockets, wrenches, extensions, penetrating oil, lifting equipment, and coolant-handling tools. Typical mechanical installation for the 2014-2019 EcoDiesel is approximately 4-6 hours, depending on corrosion, access, and experience.

This option requires removing your factory ECM and mailing it to us for reprogramming. 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.
Professional installation is recommended if ECM removal, coolant work, or exhaust service is unfamiliar.

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 programming prevents supported emissions warnings associated with the removed DPF, DEF/SCR, and EGR systems while unrelated engine, fuel, turbo, wiring, coolant, and sensor faults remain active.

Common applicable code families include:

  • DPF: P2002, P242F, P2459, P2463
  • EGR: P0401, P0402
  • DEF/SCR: P204F, P20EE

P2002 and P2463 are documented DPF faults on 2014-2019 Ram EcoDiesel applications, while P204F and P20EE are documented DEF/SCR-related faults on the platform.

FAQ

The RAM 1500 Ecodiesel delete kit combines the key hardware and Bench Flash programming in one matched package. It also uses year-specific fitment and three tune choices instead of a one-size-fits-all setup.

Bench flashing programs the original ECM directly with the selected calibration. This removes the need for a permanent tuner in the cabin and keeps the flash matched to the truck before reinstallation.

The delete kit for RAM 1500 Ecodiesel 2014-2019 offers Stock Plus at +30 HP and Race at +50 HP, while Economy retains stock-rated power. Removing emissions-related restrictions can eliminate several related failure sources, but reliability still depends on maintenance and engine condition.

The RAM 1500 Ecodiesel DEF delete kit may improve fuel economy by eliminating regeneration-related fuel use and reducing restriction. A potential 5-12% improvement is possible under comparable conditions, but MPG is not guaranteed.

Yes, the hardware can be installed by a capable DIY owner with proper tools and safe lifting equipment. Bench programming itself must be completed by the tuning provider; use a diesel shop if exhaust, coolant, or ECM work is outside your experience.
