Great tutorial! Helped walk me through mine. Quick tip, on the "tricky" 15mm nut on the manifold you have the bent wrench for, I used a 15mm crows foot and 3/8" drive ratchet. Took 10 seconds to get off! Thank you very much for a very clear and informative video!
You are excellent at explaining what you are doing. I did the EGR delete today after watching your video and had no issues, thanks for taking the time to make it. I think I’m more excited about you teaching me how to properly disconnect those stupid electrical connecters Dodge has been using for years now. I’ve broken way more than I can count.
What!!! Done alot of work on motors and vehicles but wasn't sure about doing this myself since I've never done it. After watching this I'm ordering the parts right now. Appreciate it man
Appreciate youre thorough walk through the video, just deleted my 17 ram, waiting for exhaust to arrive to see how the new tune works! I originally had it tuned with emmisions intact however, after having to delete two of my service rigs due to DPFs being plugged up, I didn't want to deal with emmisions issues if/when they came on my personal pickup!
There’s a video up now talking about tuning, it should give you an idea on what to do. It’s called “let’s talk about tuning part 1” th-cam.com/video/9K15v7UUsBU/w-d-xo.html
Dealer deleted my truck and egr yesrs ago but never took the hardware out. This look somewhat easy to do. I think ill make the attempt instead of paying someone. Thabks!
I no longer have a diesel, but I always enjoy informative videos like this and who knows maybe a new diesel will arrive in my driveway after i finish having fun with my hemi gasser.
Thanks for this, very well done and easy to follow. I'm looking at getting a newer diesel and with DEF fluid shortages I was hoping this was not as complicated as some had lead me to believe. Take a like and a sub!
Thanks for ur input on my truck. I pluged in the sensor. Started truck a couple of time it didn't clear. I put the swich in an finished that up started truck an bingo . Its a beautiful thing. No more def or codes. The truck never ran so good. Now to give the truck back to the wife. Next ? Do i do my eco desil. It has 160000 miles on it. Its a 2014
Good video, wish I had got that kit, no logos, for the coolant hose you loosen the bolts on the side and the hose comes right off so you won’t have to do greasy things lol
Love your videos man, every one of them is perfect. I will say that I was disappointed with my order through thedieseldudes At least to an extent. Let me start off by saying the delete kit did work but there were a few things that I wasn't aware of that I should have made myself more aware of to avoid disappointment. Let's call this self-inflicted disappointment. The first thing I did not care for was the level of customer service after you click the purchase button. As soon as you click purchase you no longer have contact with anyone via phone call about anything including missing parts or delays in your shipment.. they send a massive amount of emails which is all cool and good but every time something said that it was out for delivery the item said final component of your order... Or something to that extent. Just that alone causes complete confusion because what I did not realize when ordering an entire kit is that every single part basically is coming from a different source. Many of the sources of these parts are right here in the lower 48. For some really strange reason The EGR block off and the muffler come together in one order from some inland location here in the lower 48 like Indiana. The two 4-in exhaust pipes that take up the space of the DPF and exhaust filter basically have no instructions on how to best manipulate them into your existing system. I used one of your excellent videos to make a decision to just remove the rear exhaust hangers and leave that part hanging while I inserted the two forward pipe sections together and then fight to get that rear muffler back on instead of having to cut something like what you do in your video. That's a great idea it's just that I wanted to keep my entire DPF and exhaust filter complete in the event that I ever go to sell this again and need to reinstall or if push comes to shove. The muffler and EGR delete didn't arrive until 7 days later after the tuner. I waited as long as possible but ended up just installing the 4-in pipes connected into my stock exhaust to quasi straight pipe it so I could get the truck back on the road and working. It just would be nice if they had a better system of communicating exactly when and where these parts are coming from so you could plan your project better. It was my false assumption that the two straight pipe sections and the muffler would be in the same exact box. I think that's a legitimate guess but it backfired on me of course. All of this being said it's kind of bitching so far about my lack of preparation and the communication on their part after the sale. Having to wait one or two days to get technical support just to find out where your package is at only to be told that it hasn't left the shippers building yet... Then to have them call whoever that is to get the thing out the door only by my prompting is a little frustrating. And yes, I called customer service no less than 20 times over the course of 2 days and I never received a reply of course because that's not the way they do business after you click purchase. As far as the ECM program goes with the EZ link it was anything but easy. Upon opening up the program to try and install my tune All I saw were 28 different random named tunes of which zero of them made any sense compared to what I was told I was purchasing. I was told that I was purchasing a zero horsepower, 35, 75, 100 or 150.. can't remember the last one but I had no intention of using it. I had to wait two days in order to get the ECM program company to answer via the app that you have to download on your phone for install just to get them to answer which tune I was supposed to select from this laundry list. My tune happened to be number 17 on the list of over 28... But again there was absolutely no identifiable characteristics that would tell me that I was supposed to choose that one and there was definitely no paperwork or other indication let alone no customer service from the purchase site on this topic. After finally getting the tune installed I had to go through the tuner tech support again to verify exactly what each of the four tunes were. This is when they told me it was zero, 75, 150, 200. This is not what I ordered and when I question that I was just told then I should use two numbers zero, one and two. The exact opposite of thrilled so far. I could have purchased the exact same two-piece 4-in straight muffler on Amazon, identical one, for $70 delivered instead of $150. The EGR delete is a complete generic block off kit that can be purchased for $60 on Amazon instead of... Well a lot more than that. The easy link can of course be purchased at any time without any tune on it and then you just need to send it off to someone to get a tune put on. I have no doubt that I could hire the same exact half-ass company to download it from the cloud just like I had to when the tuner arrived empty. That being said, if a person wants to spend the money for reasonable simplicity then sure this is the way to go. However if you want to actually save a bunch of money all of this stuff could be purchased on your own as well now that I've seen how these things go on. I was extremely intimidated but by using your videos alone and some clarity from what should have been previously clarified upon delivery from the manufacturers I was able to get it installed. Sorry, yes I'm just ranting a little bit here but when you spend $2,500 on something I kind of expect $2,500 worth of parts and customer service. My flawed thinking a little bit because I'm used to only doing business with Costco which has unbelievable customer service lol
Thanks for posting. I have a 2014 Ram 4500. I had it deleted, but he left everything in place. Well having egr cooler leaking issues. Thanks for helping me keep my hotshot truck on the road
Great video very easy to follow! Thought about doing this for several years now. Any specifics on prior and post kit install? What else does the truck need, i.e: does computer need to be flashed? So on and so forth. Any recommendations on additional parts needed.
Thanks for the video, help me alot during this delete. I just want to be sure I will unplug the throttle valve correctly, is there any video of a bettle angle of what I need to do down there?
Haha that’s awesome! You should watch my “how to replace head gasket” videos then if you like this kinda stuff. Might be more interesting then an egr delete
Want to delete my egr but I’m wondering if a wastegate would be needed? All other turbos I’ve owned would have one right where the egr is being taken off here.
Excellent video ! Now you mention both Flo Pro part numbers in your videos, EGR delete and exhaust delete , big thanks. You also mentioned EFI Live for proper “tuning”. I have a 2015 2500 4wd Cummins 6.7. Not interested so much in high horsepower/torque figures but just get rid of that horrible EGR/DEF and DPF... any help on which EFI Live I should order.? Thanks !
Those tight manifold bolts just cut the open end off a wrench , throw a length of pipe over it they will come right out same as bolts and studs on turbo no need to cut !! Just a tip brother ,,
Question, previous video you add a 4inch straight pipe exhaust system, removed and discounted the wires from def system and O2 sensors. The elbow to turbo you left on, cause it's a 4inch tube and connected and completed the full straight pipe exhaust system. Now the 02 sensor on the 4inch elbow near the Turbo, did you just cute the wire off and leave the O2 sensor in? I'm have the 2017 Dodgeram2500 6.7 Laramie, and will be ordering from you all soon.. Outstanding videos!!! My first build soon...
Hey man great videos! Can you do a installation of the EFILive autocal tuner? I have been looking on how to do it but I haven’t found any good videos at all. Thanks! Keep it up!
Good video! That connection where the egr cooler used to be that leaks…. Is there a better one that you would recommend? I have the same one and it’s now leaking after a year of use. I did use anaerobic grease when I installed it as well.
I just got my 17’ deleted and tuned today.. new truck to me 2 months ago…. I smell coolant when I stopped a few times after I picked it up… don’t see any leaks or anything… could it be residual from removing parts and doing the job? Should I give it a few days to see if it goes away? Subscribed!!! Keep up the great videos
Hey man I live in bc was just wondering what Price I would be looking at to do a full delete on my 2018 Cummins. Just don’t wanna be ripped off when I start to call around to get it done. No looking for any crazy tuning. Trucks just a long hauler and road trip truck
Great stuff, we all need someone like this to help us out. One question though, do the gaskets on the blocker plates (on the air intake side) stay on when you install the plates? I know, someone probably asked this, but can't find any info on this.
FULL DELETE KIT HERE shrsl.com/4ke08
SHOP MERCH HERE darkirondiesel.com
Definitely used the code , im turning both my trucks into off-road monsters lol.
@@yadacashfirsttimeherewitha8435 flo-pro egr delete
Do u have to disconnect throttle valve if u don't use a tunner
How much is the price to do it on 2017 ram 2500 diesel…??
Thank you for making this video. I don't know why so many people say this is so difficult to do. You made it look like a walk in the park.
I learned a new term today! Previously, *greasy* meant 'full of grease', now it means 'sketchy AF'. Thanks for that!
U can thank us east coast Canadian Boys for that.its fuckin Greazzy!!!!!!!!
This is by far the best video on deleting I’ve seen
Best delete video on TH-cam. Fantastic job and keep them coming!
Best video I learned every time Something on each video. question doesn’t show the check engine light
I'm glad some folks aren't afraid of the epa power mongers and still build these "off road competition use only" trucks that work properly.
Great tutorial! Helped walk me through mine. Quick tip, on the "tricky" 15mm nut on the manifold you have the bent wrench for, I used a 15mm crows foot and 3/8" drive ratchet. Took 10 seconds to get off! Thank you very much for a very clear and informative video!
You are excellent at explaining what you are doing. I did the EGR delete today after watching your video and had no issues, thanks for taking the time to make it.
I think I’m more excited about you teaching me how to properly disconnect those stupid electrical connecters Dodge has been using for years now. I’ve broken way more than I can count.
haha glad I could help!
Very laid back and on point with what needs to be done. very short but shows all the needed steps
This is the most useful video for doing a Cummins egr delete on the internet. Keep up the good work!
What!!! Done alot of work on motors and vehicles but wasn't sure about doing this myself since I've never done it. After watching this I'm ordering the parts right now. Appreciate it man
Anyone see the bee or hornet on the engine lol
That was a sweat bee 😅.
Yup, bothered me so much 😂
That was a hitchhiker!
These motors are GREAT as long as you rip all that EMISSIONS CRAP OUT
Yes it's like puking in your mouth.,Then having to swallow it
Appreciate youre thorough walk through the video, just deleted my 17 ram, waiting for exhaust to arrive to see how the new tune works! I originally had it tuned with emmisions intact however, after having to delete two of my service rigs due to DPFs being plugged up, I didn't want to deal with emmisions issues if/when they came on my personal pickup!
Been looking for a video to be able to follow before I buy my delete kit. This one is hands down the best on TH-cam! Thank you!
The hardware portion looks easy enough, it’s the software that scares me. Can you do an in depth review of that process?
There’s a video up now talking about tuning, it should give you an idea on what to do. It’s called “let’s talk about tuning part 1” th-cam.com/video/9K15v7UUsBU/w-d-xo.html
Your music is freaking on point!!!
Dealer deleted my truck and egr yesrs ago but never took the hardware out. This look somewhat easy to do. I think ill make the attempt instead of paying someone. Thabks!
Definitely the best EGR delete video on TH-cam.... awesome video buddy
For the nut on the manifold I use a s shaped 15 mm wrench. Harbour freight worked excellent.
Going to switch to Cummins after watching your video. So much easier and straightforward to work on than my Duramax lol
Very useful and explanatory with details. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. Thats my project for tomorrow.
Best video on EGR delete. Great details thanks for the video. Appreciate you.
I no longer have a diesel, but I always enjoy informative videos like this and who knows maybe a new diesel will arrive in my driveway after i finish having fun with my hemi gasser.
I hope one day a new diesel shows up in my driveway as well haha
This is the best egr delete video I’ve seen.Ty for the excellent help.👍🏽
Flo pro for the win... Made in Canada right down the highway from me here in Alberta
I don’t know who the 22 Douches are that gave this a thumbs down, because this is the most thorough delete on YT. Thanks for sharing.
haha right?? They should have at least commented to let me know what they didn't like!
Tree Huggers
EPA
Thanks for this, very well done and easy to follow. I'm looking at getting a newer diesel and with DEF fluid shortages I was hoping this was not as complicated as some had lead me to believe. Take a like and a sub!
If your in the us states are starting to crack down on deletes tho
@extremerc76 Yeah, I got an older diesel which is exempt from needing these systems in the first place, xD
Love your choice of music. Great video.
Well done! You should make ALL instructional videos. Experience speaks! Great job thank you.
Mike
Thank you! I’ll keep making them!
Thanks for the video. Made it much easier. Glad I watched first. Didn’t drain the coolant and saved a lot of time and I went the “greasy” route too 😂
Great video. It walked me right through. I didn’t think I could do this by myself but your video made it easy! Great job, Thank you!
Definitely the best video I've seen for the delete. Thanks
Thanks for ur input on my truck. I pluged in the sensor. Started truck a couple of time it didn't clear. I put the swich in an finished that up started truck an bingo . Its a beautiful thing.

Keep up the great videos DID
Good video, wish I had got that kit, no logos, for the coolant hose you loosen the bolts on the side and the hose comes right off so you won’t have to do greasy things lol
Excellent video. Couple more years to go on my 2018 and then it’s delete time for me too.

Great video. All of my delete parts are suppose to come in this week. Can't wait to tear into it!
What’s everything you need to do a delete and tune
Thanks for the video I wish I watched your video before I did my 6.7 it took my a whole day to do mine
Dont know why i watch this lol mimes already deleted... But whatevers nice to see someone else working on stuff. Just subscribe
Haha thanks buddy!
Thanks for posting. I have a 2014 Ram 4500. I had it deleted, but he left everything in place. Well having egr cooler leaking issues. Thanks for helping me keep my hotshot truck on the road
Great video.
Is it necessary to change exhaust pipes ??
One of the best videos I've seen, good job!
Thank you!
Thank you, I just did mine today thanks to this video!!!
Love the GNR song in the background best song ever
Can this still be done with the 2024 cummins?
The bent 15mill wrench worked great thank you
Great informational video in addition to the killer soundtrack!
Gotta get you some mountain double flex head ratcheting wrenches. They come in so handy
Great video very easy to follow!
Thought about doing this for several years now. Any specifics on prior and post kit install? What else does the truck need, i.e: does computer need to be flashed? So on and so forth.
Any recommendations on additional parts needed.
This was great, thanks!
Best delete video! Awesome music in the background too !
Great video. Is so what are all the benefits of doing this job?
Great video
Question
Is not need to delete any code in the computer???
I wished I was smarter 😅. I wished I lived closer to you guys. Awesome stuff
Thank you so much for this video! Great Job! This will surely help tons of people
Thank you for the EGR delete tips and tricks !
Craig Richardson you’re welcome!
Craig Richardson you’re welcome!
Killer video! Every time I work on my truck hear “greasy”…
Best video on the 'net for the subject! Thanks👍
Nice video. Is there an increase in hp and torque. And would a different turbo make a big difference
Subbing just because of how well you walked through this. And because the greasy meme
😂 thanks man
Did you ever do a video on how to setup efi live on these 2016 Cummins?
So if you’re not doing the egr delete just the things you pointed out need to be unplugged that you mentioned under the hood?
Love this video… very informative…… but does any of these deletes (egr, def and grid heater etc etc) do they turn on the engine light or throw codes?
Really diggin your music
Nice work man. Thanks for the video. Soundtrack was awesome also.
Thanks for the video, help me alot during this delete.
I just want to be sure I will unplug the throttle valve correctly, is there any video of a bettle angle of what I need to do down there?
I loved the video bro, how many hours does this job take? Also what special tools do I need? Is EFI LIVE better than EZ Lynk?
I think efi live is better for a dodge personally. No special tools required and takes a couple hours.
Should be links in my description for a tuner
What type of anaerobic sealant are you using?
Watched the entire video and I don’t own a diesel 😆
Haha that’s awesome! You should watch my “how to replace head gasket” videos then if you like this kinda stuff. Might be more interesting then an egr delete
Great great great great great great five star video best one I've ever seen on TH-cam
What is the name of the sealant you used?
Nice job ! BEST TUTORIAL I'VE SEEN !! Also... Great Tunes ;-)
How much time you have invested in this?
Want to delete my egr but I’m wondering if a wastegate would be needed? All other turbos I’ve owned would have one right where the egr is being taken off here.
Excellent video !
Now you mention both Flo Pro part numbers in your videos, EGR delete and exhaust delete , big thanks. You also mentioned EFI Live for proper “tuning”. I have a 2015 2500 4wd Cummins 6.7. Not interested so much in high horsepower/torque figures but just get rid of that horrible EGR/DEF and DPF... any help on which EFI Live I should order.? Thanks !
Thank you!
Do you burp the coolant system after?
Do I have to install the pipes, don't know if that's a dumb question
Those tight manifold bolts just cut the open end off a wrench , throw a length of pipe over it they will come right out same as bolts and studs on turbo no need to cut !! Just a tip brother ,,
What tuner is a good choice
Question, previous video you add a 4inch straight pipe exhaust system, removed and discounted the wires from def system and O2 sensors. The elbow to turbo you left on, cause it's a 4inch tube and connected and completed the full straight pipe exhaust system. Now the 02 sensor on the 4inch elbow near the Turbo, did you just cute the wire off and leave the O2 sensor in? I'm have the 2017 Dodgeram2500 6.7 Laramie, and will be ordering from you all soon.. Outstanding videos!!! My first build soon...
Hey man great videos! Can you do a installation of the EFILive autocal tuner? I have been looking on how to do it but I haven’t found any good videos at all. Thanks! Keep it up!
Hey if I ever have to install an auto cal I will! I install my EFI Live tunes with a laptop so it’s a bit different of a process.
Dark Iron Diesel okay thanks! Yea for some reason the company that sent out my EFILIVE didn’t send any sort of instructions for installation.
Continue making videos very helpful
What part did you cut I couldn’t see it very good
Do I need to tuned the car after done this ??
Thanks for making this video. Very informative and educational. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks very informative. I’m going to do mine in a few weeks. I’m looking for the software I’m lost on this part.
awesome job! doing this to my 2014 Cummins.
Right on buddy good luck!
Hey Dark Iron Diesel. What’s the labor hours on truck like this doing the full egr removal kit and full exhaust kit with installing a tuner? Thanks
how long does this take start to finish if someones pretty mechanically inclined?
Good video! That connection where the egr cooler used to be that leaks…. Is there a better one that you would recommend? I have the same one and it’s now leaking after a year of use. I did use anaerobic grease when I installed it as well.
Love your videos. If I tune using raceme tuner what do I gain by deleting vs just disabling?
I just got my 17’ deleted and tuned today.. new truck to me 2 months ago…. I smell coolant when I stopped a few times after I picked it up… don’t see any leaks or anything… could it be residual from removing parts and doing the job? Should I give it a few days to see if it goes away? Subscribed!!! Keep up the great videos
If they removed the egr then ya most likely just residual coolant burning off the turbo and exhaust manifold
Hey man I live in bc was just wondering what Price I would be looking at to do a full delete on my 2018 Cummins. Just don’t wanna be ripped off when I start to call around to get it done. No looking for any crazy tuning. Trucks just a long hauler and road trip truck
Great video, what exhaust do you prefer 4” or 5” , also do you have a video on the exhaust removal ?
Question got video
For 2016 5 inch delete already tuned just need to do exhaust
what type of fender flares ?
Excellent video and detailed as u go along. 👍👍👍
Do you have to have a tune loaded in the computer before removing the EGR and exhaust?
Great stuff, we all need someone like this to help us out. One question though, do the gaskets on the blocker plates (on the air intake side) stay on when you install the plates? I know, someone probably asked this, but can't find any info on this.
That depends on your egr kit. The one I used has o-rings in the blocker plate so you remove the factory gaskets.
