A 6.7 Cummins throttle valve delete kit is an aftermarket intake component designed to replace the factory throttle valve on certain Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine. The replacement tube is designed to provide a more open intake path and reduce restriction around the factory throttle-valve assembly. EGR Performance lists a throttle valve delete kit for 2007-2017 6.7L Cummins applications.

Improve Intake Airflow

The factory throttle valve is part of the Cummins intake and emissions system. A delete tube replaces the original valve assembly with a simpler passage. According to EGR Performance, its kit is intended to reduce intake restriction and turbulence while improving airflow through the intake system.

The kit is relatively simple, with EGR Performance listing a throttle valve delete tube, gasket, and four bolts in the package. The exact components can vary between manufacturers and model-year applications.

Check 6.7 Cummins Fitment

Model year is important when selecting a 6.7 Cummins throttle valve delete kit. The 6.7L Cummins has been installed in several generations of Ram trucks, and the intake and emissions components can differ between years.

EGR Performance lists its standalone throttle valve delete for 2007-2017 Dodge/Ram 2500 and 3500 6.7L Cummins trucks. It also offers combined EGR, cooler, and throttle valve delete kits for later applications, including 2013-2019 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 models.

For example, the 2013-2019 combination kit includes EGR block-off plates, a coolant standpipe adapter, coolant hose, clamps, brackets, and throttle-related hardware.

Choose the Right Setup

Before purchasing a 6.7 Cummins throttle valve delete kit, verify the truck's exact model year, Ram model, engine configuration, and intended use. A standalone throttle-valve replacement is different from a complete EGR delete package, so buyers should check exactly what is included with the selected product.

Throttle-valve and EGR modifications can affect emissions compliance and may make a vehicle unsuitable for public-road use. These products should only be used where permitted, such as appropriate off-road or competition applications. Always check applicable laws and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
