2007.5-2012 Ram 6.7 Cummins Delete Bundles: Which Kit Fits Your Year

Which Delete Bundle Fits Your 2007.5-2012 Ram?

The early bracket belongs to the 2007-2009 Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle. Fits 2007, 2008, and 2009 Ram 2500/3500 pickups, all trims and box lengths, but not Cab & Chassis.^[2] The later bracket belongs to the 2010-2012 Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle. It fits 2010, 2011, and 2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins across all pickup trims and cab and box lengths.^[1]

Here's the whole lineup in one place, standalone EGR kits included. Find your year, then read across.

The 2007-2009 bracket

Got a long-box truck, or a base-trim one that lives on the trailer between events? Read that fit line up top once more, all the way to the end.

That last clause is the one people skim right past. If your truck is a Cab & Chassis, hold that thought for a minute. Write your model year down and keep it in front of you for the rest of this guide.

The 2010-2012 bracket

Now for the later bundle. It does not fit Cab & Chassis trucks; call (888) 830-2588 for those.^[1] A quick call beats a crate of parts that won't bolt up.

Not sure which side of the line your truck sits on? Check the model year twice before anything else, because this whole guide hangs on it.

Where the standalone EGR kits split

Only want the EGR side? The 2007-2009 EGR Delete fits the 6.7L Cummins in model years 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Then there's the newer EGR Delete. It fits 2010 through 2024 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 with the 6.7L Cummins (Pick-Up 2010–2024, Cab & Chassis 2013–2024) and does not fit 5.9L Cummins engines.^[3] Notice how much further that second line runs? Read the part in brackets twice if your truck is a Cab & Chassis. Keep it in your back pocket, because it comes up again when we get to the EGR-only question.

Does Your 2007 Ram Have the 6.7 Cummins?

The engine became available in 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models beginning January 2007.^[5] The 2007-2009 EGR Delete is built for the 6.7L Cummins. It fits 2007.5, 2008, and 2009 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins.^[4] Confirm which engine your truck carries before you pick a kit for it.

Why the 2007 model year needs a second look

A lot of guys assume the engine question answers itself. Here's the thing — it doesn't, not until you've looked.

A guess is an expensive way to find out which engine you've got. Pop the hood, look at what's actually sitting there, and only then start matching parts.

Picked the truck up secondhand? Same rule. Trust what you see under the hood over what anybody tells you about it.

What 2007.5 means on the EGR kit

See the .5 in that EGR fitment line? In plain English, the 2007-2009 EGR Delete is for a 2007 that carries the 6.7L Cummins.

No 6.7 under the hood? Then this kit isn't your kit. It's a small detail that saves a big headache.

What Emissions Hardware Did the Early 6.7 Cummins Carry?

The 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty engine uses a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and an adsorber catalyst that cuts NOx by as much as 90 percent.^[7] These early 6.7 trucks launched with DPF and EGR systems that have well-documented failure modes, from wasteful regen cycles to EGR cooler failures.^[2] The cluster's dPF FULL message calls for at least 45 minutes of operation at speed to perform the exhaust after-treatment.^[6]

The particulate filter and the NOx adsorber

That's two separate pieces of hardware, each with its own job.^[7] The DPF goes after particulate matter, and the adsorber catalyst goes after NOx.^[7]

Smart engineering for its day. The question is what all that hardware asks of a truck built for the dyno and the dirt.

Why owners of these years want a delete

Start with the EGR side. The problem is baked into how the EGR works.^[4] Hot exhaust gases get re-routed back into a clean engine, depositing carbon soot with every cycle.^[4]

The EGR valve sticks, the throttle valve clogs, and your turbo struggles to spool cleanly, which ends in limp mode and repair bills.^[4] Sound familiar? That's the Achilles heel of these early trucks.

What a full filter asks of the truck

Now picture that demand on a truck that spends its week on a trailer and its weekends at the pulls. When does a sled-pull truck ever get that kind of run?

Ever had the truck nag you right before a run? It's a system asking for time you never get to give it. And it keeps asking.

What Comes in Each Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle?

The 2007-2009 Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle includes a 4” Stainless Steel DPF & CAT Delete Pipe. A Complete EGR Delete Kit rides in the same 2007-2009 box. An optional 5" exhaust and muffler are available.^[2] The 2010-2012 bundle includes a 4” Stainless Steel DPF & CAT Delete Pipe. It carries a Complete EGR Delete Kit as well.

Read down your column and you'll know exactly what's coming in the box. No guessing.

The tuner choice and rotary switch

You choose your tuner.^[2] On the 2007-2009 bundle, one option is the EFI Live Delete Tuner and all required accessories, with a rotary switch to change power levels. The other is the EzLynk Delete Tuner and all required accessories, again with a rotary switch to change power levels.

Both include transmission tuning.^[2] That switch is the part you'll actually touch between rounds, so get to know it.

Notice the wording on the later EFI Live option in that table? Hang onto it, because it matters when we get to tuners.

The 4-inch pipe and the optional 5-inch exhaust

Want more pipe on an early truck? Think about what the truck actually does all weekend before you settle on a diameter.

A truck built to pull and a truck built to crawl don't live the same life. Pick for the truck you're running now, not the one you might build someday.

The EGR kit

Here's the thing — the pipe is only half the job. Deleting the DPF and leaving the EGR alone is like fixing a leaky roof on one side of the house and ignoring the other.

So what about the EGR itself? Deleting it removes the failure point entirely.^[4] Two halves, one job.

What Changes at the 2009/2010 Line?

The 2007-2009 bundle includes a Delete Tune. EFI Live runs four levels — Stock, +65, +100, +130 HP — and EZ Lynk runs five — Stock, +40, +80, +120, +160 HP.^[2] The 2010-2012 bundle also ships with a Delete Tune. EFI Live power runs Stock, +30HP, +60HP, +100HP, and +130HP.^[1] EZ Lynk runs Stock, +40HP, +80HP, +120HP, and +160HP.^[1]

EFI Live power levels on each bracket

Let's break it down by tuner, because that's how you'll actually live with it. Line up the two EFI Live lists and count the stops. Which spread suits the way your truck actually runs?

A sled-pull truck and a trail rig rarely want the same top step. Know your bracket first, then think about which stop you'll actually use.

EZ Lynk power levels on each bracket

Now do the same with EZ Lynk. Spot any difference between the two brackets?

If you're an EZ Lynk guy, let the numbers speak for themselves. The top step isn't automatically the right step for your build, either.

What stays the same whichever tuner you pick

On one of the later trucks? The EFI Live bundle pairs the EFI Live tuner (delete software emailed after purchase) with the 4" pipe and EGR kit.^[1] The EZ Lynk bundle pairs the EZ Lynk tuner (preloaded delete tunes) with the same pipe and EGR kit.^[1] So let's talk tuners.

EFI Live or EZ Lynk: Which Tuner Should You Choose?

EFI Live needs a Windows 10 or 11 PC; after we get your VIN we need 2–3 days to build the tune.^[2] The 2010-2012 bundle offers an Ez Lynk Tuner with Preloaded Delete Tunes. EZ Lynk reverts to factory from the device; EFI Live needs a dealership ECM flash.^[1]

What ships with each tuner

So what actually lands in the box with each tuner on the early bundle? The EFI Live bundle ships with the tuner, delete tune software (emailed after purchase), and a rotary switch; the EZ Lynk bundle comes with preloaded tunes and connects to your phone via the AutoAgent app for live monitoring.^[2]

On the 2010-2012 bundle, the EFI Live option is the EFI Live Tuner and Delete Tune Software (not-preloaded) and all required accessories. Ready to go out of the box, or a short wait for your file? That's the first real choice.

The computer EFI Live needs

Here's the practical side of it. The differences: EZ Lynk monitors through the AutoAgent app and is plug-and-play, while EFI Live has no built-in monitoring and loads tunes from a Windows 10 or 11 PC.^[1]

Got a Windows laptop that already rides along to events? If not, sort that out before the truck comes apart, so you're not scrambling the night before the first round. Have your VIN written down too.

Going back to stock

A lot of guys figure the two tuners are interchangeable once the truck is tuned. The day you want stock back is when that idea gets tested. Think about a different build down the line, or a truck that changes hands between seasons.

For a 2010-2012 truck, our pick is the EZ Lynk version of the 2010-2012 Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle. Look back at how each tuner gets back to factory and you'll see why.

For a 2007-2009 truck, our pick is the EZ Lynk version of the 2007-2009 Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle. The switch positions and the phone app make the case on their own.

Already run EFI Live on another truck and know your way around it? Then stick with what you know.

Do You Need the Full Bundle or Just an EGR Delete?

The 2007-2009 EGR Delete includes all hardware and gaskets. This kit physically blocks the EGR circuit and deletes the throttle valve.^[4] You'll need a compatible delete tune to clear the EGR function from your ECM after install, or you'll get check engine codes.^[4] The 2007-2009 full delete bundle includes a Delete Tune.

What the EGR kit does on its own

So what do you actually get out of blocking it off? That stops the soot buildup and clogged valves, keeps hot exhaust gases out of the engine, and opens up airflow for quicker turbo spool and lower EGTs.^[4]

Running a newer truck instead? Then you're looking at the 2010-2024 EGR Delete. The kit physically blocks off the EGR system so exhaust gases stay where they belong, and it includes a throttle valve delete for increased airflow, quicker turbo spool, and lower EGTs.^[3]

What is in the EGR box

Here's what's waiting when you open the later kit. You get the complete EGR delete kit, the throttle valve delete, all hardware and gaskets, and a DIY-friendly step-by-step guide.^[3]

Lay it all out on a moving blanket and check it off before you start. Count the gaskets before you start, not after. That way you're not scrambling mid-install.

Why the EGR kit still needs a tune

A lot of guys assume the EGR kit on its own is a complete job. But think it through — what tells the ECM the EGR is gone?

That's the whole decision, right there. For a 2007-2009 truck that still has its factory DPF and EGR, the 2007-2009 Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle is the cleaner path.

Only after the EGR side? Then the 2007-2009 EGR Delete is your kit for a 2007-2009 truck. Plan the tune side of the job right alongside it.

What Should You Expect During Installation?

Expect a 4” Stainless Steel DPF & CAT Delete Pipe in the early bundle's box. No cutting or welding — it all installs with bolts and clamps we provide.^[2] The 2010-2024 EGR Delete includes all hardware and gaskets. Install usually takes 3–5 hours with basic hand tools, no welding, and a compatible delete tune is required to prevent codes.^[3]

Tune first, then the hardware

The order you work in matters. Your tuner plugs into the OBDII port and wipes the emissions programming, then the included 4" rust-resistant DPF & CAT delete pipe bolts in place of the factory units and the EGR delete kit blocks off the passages and reroutes flow.^[2]

Working on one of the later trucks? Once the tune is loaded, you remove the hardware: the 4" rust-resistant DPF and CAT delete pipe bolts in place of the factory units, and the EGR delete kit seals off the EGR passages and reroutes exhaust flow.^[1] Do the tune with no clock running, then pick up the wrenches.

Bolts and clamps, no welding

The good news? Leave the welder in the corner of the shop. Sort the clamps and hardware by joint before anything comes off the truck.

A few minutes on the floor beats a long stretch on your back hunting for the right clamp. Keep a magnetic tray handy for every nut and bolt that comes off.

How long the EGR kit takes

Block out a full afternoon for the EGR side, and don't start it the night before an event. Rushed installs are the ones you end up doing twice. Give yourself room and the job goes the way it should.

What to check when you're done

Go back over every clamp and every bolt once more before the truck rolls. Fire it up, let it idle, and listen. Then walk around it with a flashlight and look for anything you missed.

Which Bundle Should You Order for Your Ram?

Pick the 2007-2009 Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle for a 2007-2009 Ram 2500 or 3500. That one runs $1,634.00 to $2,359.00. Pick the 2010-2012 bundle for a 2010-2012 Ram 2500 or 3500. It's priced from $1,884.00 to $3,034.00. The 2007-2009 EGR Delete runs $299.00 to $380.00.

The 2007-2009 pick: Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle

Buckle up, because this is where it all comes together. Before anything ships for an early truck, run down this list:

• Confirm which engine is actually sitting under the hood.
• Confirm it's a pickup, not a Cab & Chassis.
• Choose EZ Lynk or EFI Live, and decide whether a bigger exhaust belongs on your build.

Get those right and the rest is just wrenching. For a 2007-2009 truck, this bundle is the workhorse pick, and it's the one we'd put on our own.

The 2010-2012 pick: Ram Cummins 6.7 Full Delete Bundle

Same drill on the later trucks: model year first, then chassis, then tuner. If you'll ever want the factory tune back, re-read the tuner section before you decide. For a 2010-2012 truck, this bundle is the one we'd run.

What the EGR kits cost on their own

The 2010-2024 EGR Delete is priced from $299.00 to $380.00. That's real bang for your buck when the EGR is the only part you're after. Just plan the tune side of the job before the first bolt turns.
