Want to extract more power and get better fuel mileage from your 6.7L Cummins powered truck? On this page I cover just how you can do that, by outlining the parts required for a complete DPF and EGR delete kit.
Removing the DPF and EGR systems allows your off-road truck to breath much easier and run much more efficiently than it does being constantly strangled by the factory emission systems.
Below is the list of required parts that you will need for a complete delete kit for a 6.7L Cummins engine, as found in the 2007+ Dodge diesel trucks.
One warning first though: if you plan to operate your truck on roads in the United States, your emissions systems have to be operational. Deleting emissions systems is for off-road use only. If you live in a country where this is not a concern, read on to find out the parts you’ll need.

Best Cummins 6.7L DPF Delete Tuner
- RaceME ULTRA DPF Delete Programmer 07.5-16 Dodge Cummins 6.7L
When looking for a tuner for performance diesel tuning and DPF/EGR deletes, you need to make sure that the tuner you choose is actually capable of working with your diesel truck’s computer to remove the codes that are associated with DPF and EGR removal.
You can find a lot of different tuners available for the 6.7, however there are only a few tuners that have the ability for a true DPF and EGR delete.
H&S and RaceMe are the best available tuners that have this capability for the 6.7 cummins. Both of these tuners can delete the DPF and EGR codes with or without a custom tune.

DPF Delete Pipe
- Performance Race 4″ Turbo Back With Downpipe
A race exhaust will replace the section of pipe where the DPF filter currently resides and gives the exhaust a straight shot from the turbo back to the muffler.
It is crucial to have the tuner installed with this delete pipe, otherwise you will throw the truck’s engine computer into limp mode because it won’t be able to use the sensor readings to initiate regen anymore.
Installation is fairly straightforward, usually the hardest part of replacing exhaust is super-heated rusted hardware, in some cases requires heating or cutting of exhaust studs, make sure to have a torch handy!

Will this stuff work on a Sterling 4500?
Hi Justin,
The Sterling trucks are the same as the Dodge version, aside from the dealer support network being through Sterling.
Because of this, the parts designed for the Dodge 4500 will also work on the Sterling version.
Would you recommend an intake replacement with something like a Banks? or AFE? or does the extra cost not provide much in the way of fuel economy or power. Also what is the best fuel economy you can get on a 2007 Dodge 2500 unloaded cruising at highway speeds?
By installing this EGR Cooler Delete system will I have to reprogram my trucks computer in order for this system to work? Other words can I unplug all wiring to each unit, install your system and drive my truck without changing anything in the computer system?
Thanks,
Jimmy
Yes you will
will this work on a Monaco 38′ motorhome with 6.7 cummins
Yes Chalie
Will this work on a 2015 f650?
Thanks Gared
Hey Gared for the ISB Fords you may want to find a local shop that specializes in cummins tunes, there’s too many variables in that setup for an off the shelf tune.
Will this work on 2011 peterbilt with the 6.7? Also do you supply the delete tube and other parts needed?
I have a 2016 Quad cab dually with an 8ft bed. Im looking to do a DPF and EGR delete. Is there a package for my truck that includes the proper length exhaust for the 8ft bed truck. Also what would be the best tuner
The best tuner by far for the 6.7L Cummins would be the RaceMe Ultra because it has the ability to switch tunes on the fly and change trans line pressure/shift points. It can also unlock your ecu without another device, and has touch screen with monitoring built in.
As for the egr delete, while it can be just shut off in the tuner and run still installed but closed, it is highly recommend that the entire failure possibilities of the system are just removed. I try to always go with a reputable EGR blockoff/reroute kit because that isn’t something you want to end up leaking because of cheap parts.
For the exhaust being so long, and since it is already a really well-flowing system on these trucks, you might just want to do the downpipe and mid-pipe and connect it to your current exhaust.
Here is a good kit that includes everything you need: https://ebay.to/2EUFOLq
I agree with you! RaceME Ultra is the best tuner for Dodge RAM 6.7 Cummins 🙂
I have a 09 F650 with a 325 hp cummins ISB
Are any of your performance parts compatable?
Interested in tuners and DPF delete
Hey Tim, as far as the ISB Fords go it gets tricky when it comes to the tuning for a delete. There isn’t any off the shelf tuner for these as of right now.
The best thing to do would to be try and find a shop local to you that work on Cummins, as you’ll need specialized Cummins software and an interface in order to make any changes.
whats the difference between a chassis cab and a pickup as far as DPF goes. A lot of these parts say not for chassis cab.
Hey Joe, the main difference is the way the exhaust routes.
I agree with this, my truck has been deleted since last year and i found my truck performing way better than before. I purchased the Cummins DPF delete from raceme and i am very happy with it so far.
When doing a delete on a 2016 ram 3500 is it necessary to delete the throttle valve?
Hey Monte, no it isn’t necessary, however if you have the other deletes, the throttle valve delete is a great way to clean up all the unnecessary stuff hanging off the old throttle valve.
Hi Jeff,
Great info all around! I am going with the RaceMe tuner for my 2018 Ram 2500. I email them about the EGT option. Their reply was……
The EGT Sensor is just a cool feature, but it is not necessary at all. If you want to monitor the EGT you have to purchase the EGT probe.
Here is the link: EGT Sensor Kit
I asked why they felt they don’t need EGT but have yet to hear back from them. So I thought I would ask you for your thoughts. I always have had EGT in my trucks for towing, especially in the mountains. But I also had mostly older 7.3 non-intercooled trucks.
Thanks Tim,
I would be interested to hear the reasoning behind not strongly recommending adding a pyro kit, being able to have accurate readings of the exhaust temperature is indeed very helpful, almost necessary in my eyes.
Their reply…..
“Tim,
What i was trying to say is that it is not necessary to program truck or to run the RaceMe tuner.
Of course is it a good feature.”
I think it was just a lil communication breakdown German/Engwresh. So no you don’t need it to run the tuner but its a good idea. I took it as you don’t need it to watch temps as EGT is always in check. We all know better….. I will be getting the EGT probe kit lol… To me it is the most important parameter to have.
I really appreciate your articles. Clean and to the point. Not 33 posts of wow, subscribed, etc. Just facts and information.
Great Job!
Oh yes, that makes more sense. I always recommend that a pyro kit is added if it’s in your budget, its important to see where your temps are.
Thank you for the kind words!
