I put in a BD exhaust manifold in my 6.7. It’s a two piece with a 47% increase in exiting exhaust. I noticed an immediate response in my acceleration rpm’s. The exhaust temps seem lower too. I called them directly before I ordered it and what a breath of fresh air they are. They run diesels and know them!
The grid heater delete is necessary. I just had my inside connection short out and melt. My mechanic said he touched the end of the bold and it fell off in his hand. The nut loosens off over time from all the hot and cold cycles and eventually falls of into the engine if it’s not caught in time. I live in Canada so I replaced the stock equipment with BD diesels intake horn, delete and intake heater probe.

@@markbroad119 yes you get a larger opening in your intake putting less turbo drive pressure and feeding the turbo plenty of air. You know how diesels love more air. This mod will also allow your turbo to spool faster.
I have the same motor in my ram 3500 in my work truck. I haul around excavators and pallets of concrete a lot so at 225k miles she’s showing her age AND the exhaust filter is clogged so whatever that is it sucks cause I can’t even go up the Houston ship channel bridge without the petal being almost to the floor. I met a guy who’s a delivery driver and has the same motor I do and said the same things your saying and he said he gets better mileage and it runs better after, so yeah man I’m glad you explained it cause he didn’t explain it very well. Oh and the exhaust filter to be replaced down here in Houston is about $2500 after calling four different shops. They said the dealer is selling that filter for $2,025, $3600 to replace it was the highest I’ve been quoted so yeah ha ha ha. I’m so glad this is a company truck
Maan I have a 2018 Ram Dually, I also had a 17. I was runnin them doing hot shot. My 17 gave out in New Mexico because of the def system. That little mod you did and the explaining in simple understandable english completely explains how it all works. For 2 years now I keep hearing about deletes and I understood what it did but now I completely get it. Thanks keep it up!!
I'm about to buy a 2008 Ram 5500 with a 6.7. but I've worked around them for a few years now and I wish I had found this vid like 5 years ago. All three of these that you suggest to delete I have actually replaced. These mods would have saved me several hundreds of dollars. Thanks and keep up the good work!!
I was going to buy a common rail . There so nice especially mega cabs. Considering im my own warranty , parts replacement is so much more on them. Then the emissions stuff. Like injectors cost 10x the price and my model came stock with no emissions equipment not even a cat. I settled on a 01 quad cab from south carolina with a blown motor and had the motor rebuilt. Considering im from Connecticut people are shocked when they see a 2nd gen without rust. I added injectors , exhaust , programer, turbo and working on a set of compounds now. I truly love my truck.
I thought that unfiltered intake turbo air was a death sentence. Grains of dust at high speed 'sand blast' the bearing and impeller. I'm going to be a new CTD owner so just trying to get the straight goods. Awesome video - thanks for sharing.
just bought 4th gen mega laramie and love it. had 2 2006 megas, one 3/4 and one 1 ton dually. traded them both on the 2017. All deleted, 20in fuels. was alittle concerned about moving to a 6.7 from a 5.9 but its all good. you were talking about transmissions, for the money i put a Jasper in my 5.9's with there triple disk billet converter and it was amazing. no HP regulations and 3 year 100,000 mile warranty with labor cost and its nationwide. they just came out with the 68RFE and it is a bad ass. tons of upgrades, check em out
Be careful in what you do. I have a 2016 1 ton Laramie dually and installed a 125 gal aux fuel tank tie into the belly tank with a a electric solenoid and dealer would not cover the rail pressure switch when I started to loose power. Dodge is very picky when you change the truck in the slightest. Remember there is 100,000 mile warranty that is priceless with these trucks
Great truck, I have a 3500 2009 with many mods, there's a bunch of simple mods that will give you power, but I'm surprised about the billet intake plenum with the grill delete, that one is a hard one to find,, good thing that you did the air horn, the plug un the rail too, another mod is 5 inch straight pipe, is cheap and gives you low EGT and a nice sound, then AIR DOGS or FASS fuel pump system with the sump pump adapters, this is a major upgrade, clean fuel, air free fuel, high volume and high pressure using their fuel lines, easy to install with a empty tank, keep the good job

Never had 1 problem with any of them including 6.0 and 6.4’s!! Thanks again. 👍✌️
I have about 200k miles on my 6.7 now and unlike many who mod I actually do tow with it and those trips are over Eisenhower . I still have the stock dpf filter, catalytic converter, and egr valve I still have the CCV filter in it's stock configuration. I change my oil every 5k miles running T-6 rotella and quality filter ...I change the fuel filter every other oil change sometimes 3rd ...I change the CCV Filter around 40k ... Most of these items people claim to be engine killers usually are so only because they aren't serviced properly .
@@randomchannel4886 EGR, Throttle valve, ccv, cat , dpf... all were stolen recently by peaceful protesters... they left a 5 position knob on my dash ;-)
Crankcase ventilation is a positive thing. But please don't just vent it back to Aymosephier. Get a cheap catch can system with one inch ports on it. Run 1" ID heater hose from the valve cover out port to the catchcan with a 1" out port. If you can get or build a catch an with a baffle great. The can should be a spin-on so you can clean and drain it at normal services. Or as required. But a 1" out pipe is what is recommended. You don't want any back pressure.
And ya that Turbo is a finely machined part that spins at incredible speed. And someone pukes soot and goo all over it. That will through it all out of balance. There goes any longevity. You will be changing turbos at 1/2 life.😱
I gave you a 👍 I could be wrong but on the last mod with the crankcase hose I believe that the purpose that is there is because of the blow by around the Pistons, if you build too much pressure in your crankcase your gaskets will begin to leak. So it Cycles back into your upper engine to be reburn and exit out the tailpipe relieving crankcase pressure. But I am surprised to hear that they run it back through the turbo since the turbo is very fragile and even little drops of oil or debris will damage the turbo 😕 My motorhome has a 2001 8.3L Cummins as far as I can tell looks like the previous owner did a modification and on the crankcase hose I believe they have it running down the engine into the open to relieve the crankcase pressure lol. I'll have to confirm that but that's what it looks like.
Yes because there is a diaphragm on the valve cover behind the breather hose. Allowing it to vent out will help relieve it. Blow by on my engine is very minimal. People are 50/50 on the hose going to the turbo. Half think it needs to be there other half dont. All I know is once a 2nd gen swap is done there isnt even a option to reroute it.
Not having performed that model (I believe) is why the engine brake feature of of my VGT went out. Engine brake worked great slowing down 16k 5th wheel down mountain passes out west. Screwed without it.
Yeah those vanes get stuck pretty easily and are expensive to replace. My brake worked fine on my truck no issues before removing it. I still miss it though sometimes.
I appreciate this video, I just changed out my turbo actuator, went the cheaper route this time. I will definitely have to get after that crankcase filter changed soon.
Seeing your truck really makes me want to stop everything on mine, and start looking for a mega cab in a few months. I originally wanted to go for a mega cab for family purposes but my love for 2nd gens was too strong! Wish I could afford them both right now.
pure panoRAMa bro I feel your pain. Haha I love me some 2ndgens but family reasons I went with mega cab. You can still do a lot with these. My only recommendations would be if you get a megacab get pre 08 so 06-07.5 that way you get a 5.9 cummins and will avoid the 68rfe unless you do manual trans then your good with 6.7. I wish I would've gotten a 6 speed manual if I could do it all again. It definetly took some time to get to this point and I'm far from done! Haha but I love your 2nd gen. I'm trying to find a 12 valve 2nd gen hopefully by end of the year for a track truck. I love 12 valves so simple.
EVERYTHANG DIESEL I'd definitely want to keep it in the 5.9 family since I've been working g with a 24 valve already. I know theres some differences but for the most part I'd be more familiar with it overall.
pure panoRAMa yeah man I know what you mean. It ain't that different working on the 6.7. I use to own a 6.0 powerstroke now working on that thing was annoying haha no room whatsoever
That's why I would avoid a powerstroke or duramax until I know the diesel life a bit more. The cummins platform is far more user friendly and easy to learn on. Can't go wrong with that inline 6!
pure panoRAMa all day man. I would mess with a 6.7 powerstroke they look reliable and there trans are strong lol. But the Cummins is it's at! I saw your newest video. I liked it. Gave you a thumbs up
For the third mod, did you just pull the filter under the valve cover or are you recommending staying on top of changing it out? Nice video man, earned a subscriber for sure. Picking up my 09 in a couple weeks. New to 6.7 as a diehard 5.9 fan lol
Doing the ccv filter, doesn't that make the check engine light pop on since you are taking away the vacuum? Why not just go with an oil catch can to keep the vacuum and not get the engine light? It's a bit more expensive but over all wouldn't it be better long term?
My light engine light didn’t come on, only when I started the truck a reminder light came on saying service engine at 78,000 Kms, after checking the code it was service the CCV, did that and no more reminders.
Great video bro. Make sure you explain if you live in Cali you can't do the CCV mod. Unless you put it back together before smogs. Thats what I do with the EGR delete. I blocked my air tube and bought a spare and unplugged all the egr sensors.
The Morales Adventures thanks for the tip man. I dont like mentioning certain things like that cause then I dont want epa coming after me for conspiracys lol
Just a suggestion get you a hand held laser off ebay. Their very inexpensive and it would help you point out parts in extremely tight quarters. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you!
Nice truck man! I've been looking at 6.7s now for about a year. I have a gas'er now, but here about two years I'm pulling the trigger to a 6.7 mega cab
I would do some research about the CCV and it’s job, to my understanding it will increase the longevity of your engine seals to prevent leaking. The filter is there to reduce/prevent oil going into the turbo inlet.
charles huddleston oil still goes into the turbo that's why those turbo vanes start getting stuck because of the fumes accumulating in there. I did mine and I know it's better for the turbo.
Ya but you lose power from you crank case not having neg pressure on the back side of the piston . I also creates more wear., the neg pressure helps seal and evacuated gasses better. Look it up. Ive built allot of high performance engines . Guys with tubos use the inlet of the turbo to get that neg pressure guys with out buy expensive vacuum pumps.The internet not always correct www.google.com/search?q=crank+case+neg+pressure+hp&rlz=1C1HLDY_enUS731US732&oq=crank+case+neg+pressure+hp&aqs=chrome..69i57.8367j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Grid heater is a resistor. Diesels have two batteries for a reason. Its not hard on the system. Its designed to work that way. I live on the gulf coast and will not delete mine. It warms the air going into the intake. Reduces cold engine run time. Makes engine last longer.
I recommend a velvet body upgrade my 68 rfe is a 100% better I also did the thermostat delete and I also plan on getting the co-pilot for the wiring harness. That will increase my total capacity big time
Got same truck so glad I found your channel love watching the same stuff that I got in the driveway mine's gold though wish it was white but metallic gold on black is still sexy lmfao 2007.5 6.7 strong boys
I was going to pay a shop to do this here in midland Texas but just for them to the exhaust and just to disconnect the egr and not take it off was going to run me $2,500 but thanks to your vids I did it for free
This is my first vid from your channel! Just gotta say you earned a subscriber man! Great vid and I’ll be sure to watch all of your other helpful vids as well. Sweet truck by the way!!! 😎
One more mod that will extend your engine life is an oil bypass system . A little pricey but well worth it . There are many companies that sell them . Semi trucks have been using them for years and that’s how they get a million miles on there engines
Kinda new to Cummins mods. Waited 70k miles to do my first delete (DPF/EGR/CCV) after watching a few of your videos, now I just keep wanting to do more! Next will likely be throttle valve delete, then heater grid delete. Anyway, thanks for the vids!
Strong work growing your YT channel. You say in this video you are trying to get to 2000 subs, and now, a year and change later, you are over 10K subs. Awesome work man!
You should get the Banks INtercooler with the huge tubes, because now your bottleneck is the intercooler with small stock tubes... The Banks made my truck really haul ass after the full delete.
I’m in Cali and we’re putting the stock stuff on for the dealers because stupid Cali has to have smog before they can sell, it’s money for us but the delete is way to go, it’s like you have 5.9 just better. IF it’s deleted, if it’s not so many probs and the VGT sucks, but in Cali f450 meets weight no smog rolls coal all day and semi trucks can cause weight lol 😂 black smoke falls to ground, smoke from fires or whatever go to the sky 😂 anyways never seen your vids but cool vid bro, I see thumbs down on this but I see a human with some knowledge with diesel posting a vid about his truck he enjoys and takes care of so I’m thumbs up bro.
Ya, seen some do it but ain’t worth the ticket, so I just say to friends hallow that dpf filter, way looks stock but you don’t have that soot build up cause those 6.7 around town, just clogs things up
Spend $100 and get a oil catch can and put it between the ccv and the turbo will catch 95% of the oil and crap then just drain it every oil change. plus the ccv filter is changed every 67k proper maintenance is key for engines. the 6.7 might have a bit more maintenance. but if you clean and do the maintenance you should not have any problems with the emissions systems. plus the diesel is meant to tow. if you just do short trips you will have DPF problems quickly get it hot and drive it not just to the grocery store. and you should not have any problems with it.
thanks man but tbh a lift pump is actually one of the best mods you can do even for a stock truck. the added filtration and consistent fuel being supplied and not airrated is better for combustion and easier fuel burn.
The only problem with eliminating the relief is the rail pressure may reach extreme pressures if the pump decides to send all of it and it has no where to go. It's a safety so you don't have a high pressure fuel leak potentially. Im getting a 6.7 2500 this week so just trying to get ideas of what to do to it.
@@EVERYTHANGDIESEL wouldn't the dual pumps just give you more flow essentially? I got my truck last Thursday and I found it's had the def, dpf, egr deletes all done already. It has a bully dog programmer as well... appears like it's still on its original head gasket yet so i gotta plan to do head studs sooner then later. I'll be deleting/rerouting the ccv soon!
It's a diesel the reason it pulls power from your batteries is because you dont let it cycle like you should if you let it cycle before you start it then it's better for all aspects of the engine
I agree, in most cases the grid heater is not really needed. But as an FYI, grid heater is not just to help it start in cold weather. It also helps the emissions from the vehicle on those cold starts to improve faster and run better.
@@EVERYTHANGDIESEL They did the whole delete kit but not the CCV delete. Weird why they wouldn't do that? Just doesn't make any to route all of that crap to your turbo. Anyways, thank to your vid I am doing the CCV delete and installing a new cold air intake.
Is it me or are these Diesel drivers/owners getting younger and younger... or maybe I'm just getting older (I'm 56). There are other TH-cam DIY'ers with the 6.7 Cummins that look as young as this guy. Not what I would expect as Diesel truck owners.... these trucks are expensive! Good Video young man, I'll try your third suggestion on my 6.7 Cummins, which by the way, is in NC also
Cool you have the 4wd twin of my truck. Fraternal twins cause mine is 2wd but outside of that they look the same. I've got some plans for adding some stuff to mine as well. See what time and money allow.
An oil catch can is a better solution so all the breather hose is closed off from the outside moisture and isn't of leaking the junk out of the hose it gets collected in a tank. Just need a place to mount it.
You are definitely my new channel brother man. Love every second of it. Gonna be back logging for sure. Mechanicing son of a gun. Thanks MB . Be safe in NC and Happy 4 Th
I question the crank case oil filter delete my friend, wouldn't just changing that filter regular be a better idea? love the vids. thanks for the info!
He didn't delete the crank case filter, he just delete the hose FROM THE FILTER that's goes on top of the valve cover to the turbo intake hose, he is preventing that the engine suck all of the oil gases from the engine, keeping the turbo and all the intake tubes, intercooler, throttle, plenum, cylinder head clean, plus fresh clean air makes that Cummins more efficient, hope you understand
My truck is throwing a P1011. Everything is stock and just replaced the fuel filter. It’s falling on its face at 2800 and check engine comes on. Is it because of the fuel rail?
did not do heater removal. I like snow boarding and snow. Did most of what I see in your engine on my 2015. also did 1/4" hole and tapping rubber washer plug in both diffs. Draining and filling is so simple now. With My G56 6 speed, I have been averaging 24-30 MPGS freeway. MY truck is Jewish/frugal/efficient from 2016-2021.
The grid heater terrifies me man because of that bolt falling into the cylinder. I’d love to delete it but my problem is I live in Virginia and come late January and February it’s down in the 20s and teens out here
What happens when the ccv filter starts getting clogged can you buy just a filter or do you have to order a whole new kit. And I’m not seeing it anywhere on Amazon if you find a link lmk
For that pcv .od wouldnt it be better to run a catch can setup? The purpose of the pcv is to create a vacuum to help seal the runs and seals from leaking. Catch can kit keeps that ability but seperates oil from the air
Do you think the CCV filter / hose elbow should be angled down? seems the sludge/gunk would stay down in the elbow and not all vent upwards towards the filter.. Just a thought. Excellent video
No leaving it up is fine. So the gases are gonna rise because it hot. It's not physical sludge or liquid until it goes through the filter and even then half the time it's more of a vent than filter.
Aloha Bro! Sick Vid. So just to summarize the best Dad Truck you would recommend is a 2006-2007.5 Mega Cab 5.9. For room and budget. However, what dually year would you recommend, and would you go dually?
i would absolutely go with 06-09 megacab 2500 for dad truck they are affordable and reliable and have tons of room for the family. idk your towing situation but a dually is nice too if you tow heavy stuff 24/7 but the SRW is more than capable of towing a good amount. me personally i like my SRW over duallys
Subbed!! I did these exact mods and agreed with you 100, I just bought a 16 and she is rolling 40x15.5 24s and want to delete to get better response and let that Cummins breathe!
Good clip, whatever you do, don't move to California, they would come after you harder than a serial killer, i guess you're not a big fan of the green new deal, haha, keep them coming, diesel power baby!!
Just asking but you make sure to cycle your computers before you start the truck right cause that would stop the grid heater from cycling as your running your vehicle
@@EVERYTHANGDIESEL cycling the system with a diesel is always a good idea before starting it and the grid heater is installed not to reduce any air flow and the flow it does reduce is minimal where as the benefits that it adds for easier starts when used properly and prolonged engine life for not having to cold start
Thanks for the informative video. I got a question bout the ccv filter comment that you made towards the end of the video. I don't think that by disposing of the ccv filter would work. If I remember correctly the nipple that your ccv breather attaches to is actually part of the filter.
thanks man and you can get rid of the nipple becasue all it does is route the crank fumes into the filter. by removing it, the crank fumes will naturally move out to the side of the cover.
Gr8 vid. I live in NC also and today I’m trading in my ticking time bomb 6.0 power stroke for 6.7 Cummings after purchase I’d like to may link up with you to do some of same mods you have done. Drop me some info. on your location, and let’s try to make that happen.

Very good point about doing routine maintenance. The is very important for longevity.
You dont have to do maintenance on any of that if you get rid of it🤡
@@randomchannel4886 EGR, Throttle valve, ccv, cat , dpf... all were stolen recently by peaceful protesters... they left a 5 position knob on my dash ;-)
Crankcase ventilation is a positive thing. But please don't just vent it back to Aymosephier. Get a cheap catch can system with one inch ports on it. Run 1" ID heater hose from the valve cover out port to the catchcan with a 1" out port. If you can get or build a catch an with a baffle great. The can should be a spin-on so you can clean and drain it at normal services. Or as required. But a 1" out pipe is what is recommended. You don't want any back pressure.
And ya that Turbo is a finely machined part that spins at incredible speed. And someone pukes soot and goo all over it. That will through it all out of balance. There goes any longevity. You will be changing turbos at 1/2 life.😱
I love how you show the grid heater sitting on top of his new home the trashcan
I gave you a 👍
I could be wrong but on the last mod with the crankcase hose I believe that the purpose that is there is because of the blow by around the Pistons, if you build too much pressure in your crankcase your gaskets will begin to leak.
So it Cycles back into your upper engine to be reburn and exit out the tailpipe relieving crankcase pressure.
But I am surprised to hear that they run it back through the turbo since the turbo is very fragile and even little drops of oil or debris will damage the turbo 😕
My motorhome has a 2001 8.3L Cummins as far as I can tell looks like the previous owner did a modification and on the crankcase hose I believe they have it running down the engine into the open to relieve the crankcase pressure lol.
I'll have to confirm that but that's what it looks like.
Yes because there is a diaphragm on the valve cover behind the breather hose. Allowing it to vent out will help relieve it. Blow by on my engine is very minimal. People are 50/50 on the hose going to the turbo. Half think it needs to be there other half dont. All I know is once a 2nd gen swap is done there isnt even a option to reroute it.
Not having performed that model (I believe) is why the engine brake feature of of my VGT went out. Engine brake worked great slowing down 16k 5th wheel down mountain passes out west. Screwed without it.
Yeah those vanes get stuck pretty easily and are expensive to replace. My brake worked fine on my truck no issues before removing it. I still miss it though sometimes.
Up here in Canada, you can delete them, you just have to make sure you plug the truck in when it's below -10C.
Very informative and professional video man, no useless babble! You’ve earned a subscriber.
Thanks bruddah I appreciate it!!
Your videos are the only ones I can stand watching. You’re less talk and more action.
thanks man means a lot to me
Favorite truck channel.just bought my first diesel which is a 6.7 cummins
Appreciate that man! Glad the content is helping
I love Florida, no state inspection and no emissions checks
janet sers yep that's right lol simple
@@EVERYTHANGDIESEL Good video Bro,
I'm currently also residing in NC also
Nice and thank you man
Shit hole state full of garbage and foreigners!
Damn somebody hates Florida lol
I appreciate this video, I just changed out my turbo actuator, went the cheaper route this time. I will definitely have to get after that crankcase filter changed soon.
The blow black reroute mod I'm definitely doing that one. Thanks for the video
Seeing your truck really makes me want to stop everything on mine, and start looking for a mega cab in a few months. I originally wanted to go for a mega cab for family purposes but my love for 2nd gens was too strong! Wish I could afford them both right now.
pure panoRAMa bro I feel your pain. Haha I love me some 2ndgens but family reasons I went with mega cab. You can still do a lot with these. My only recommendations would be if you get a megacab get pre 08 so 06-07.5 that way you get a 5.9 cummins and will avoid the 68rfe unless you do manual trans then your good with 6.7. I wish I would've gotten a 6 speed manual if I could do it all again. It definetly took some time to get to this point and I'm far from done! Haha but I love your 2nd gen. I'm trying to find a 12 valve 2nd gen hopefully by end of the year for a track truck. I love 12 valves so simple.
EVERYTHANG DIESEL I'd definitely want to keep it in the 5.9 family since I've been working g with a 24 valve already. I know theres some differences but for the most part I'd be more familiar with it overall.
pure panoRAMa yeah man I know what you mean. It ain't that different working on the 6.7. I use to own a 6.0 powerstroke now working on that thing was annoying haha no room whatsoever
That's why I would avoid a powerstroke or duramax until I know the diesel life a bit more. The cummins platform is far more user friendly and easy to learn on. Can't go wrong with that inline 6!
pure panoRAMa all day man. I would mess with a 6.7 powerstroke they look reliable and there trans are strong lol. But the Cummins is it's at! I saw your newest video. I liked it. Gave you a thumbs up
For the third mod, did you just pull the filter under the valve cover or are you recommending staying on top of changing it out? Nice video man, earned a subscriber for sure. Picking up my 09 in a couple weeks. New to 6.7 as a diehard 5.9 fan lol
Just picked up my all stock 08 6.7 G56. I’m in NC as well! Great video subscribed! Can’t wait to get my deletes done
Doing the ccv filter, doesn't that make the check engine light pop on since you are taking away the vacuum? Why not just go with an oil catch can to keep the vacuum and not get the engine light? It's a bit more expensive but over all wouldn't it be better long term?
Curious about the forbidden light question, highly impressed, your knowledge and passion shows!
I was thinking the same, a catch can would be beneficial.
My light engine light didn’t come on, only when I started the truck a reminder light came on saying service engine at 78,000 Kms, after checking the code it was service the CCV, did that and no more reminders.
Great video bro. Make sure you explain if you live in Cali you can't do the CCV mod. Unless you put it back together before smogs. Thats what I do with the EGR delete. I blocked my air tube and bought a spare and unplugged all the egr sensors.
The Morales Adventures thanks for the tip man. I dont like mentioning certain things like that cause then I dont want epa coming after me for conspiracys lol
Great comment for the Cali peeps
Just a suggestion get you a hand held laser off ebay. Their very inexpensive and it would help you point out parts in extremely tight quarters. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you!
I just picked up a very low mile 2017 2500 thanks for the info,love the all white of your truck looks sweet!👍🏿👍🏿
Man I have all those problems. First Cummins so I don't know much but I'm definitely doing all three of those
Nice truck man! I've been looking at 6.7s now for about a year. I have a gas'er now, but here about two years I'm pulling the trigger to a 6.7 mega cab
Brent Hoadley thanks ma. Once you get that megacab it'll probably be the last truck you buy Haha I love them
Got me a brand new 6.7 Mega cab,
Worse decision ever.
These trucks are $ pits,plain & simple.
I live in northern Minnesota, grid heater is a MUST lol but where you love, I get it. That being said, great vid
I would do some research about the CCV and it’s job, to my understanding it will increase the longevity of your engine seals to prevent leaking. The filter is there to reduce/prevent oil going into the turbo inlet.
charles huddleston oil still goes into the turbo that's why those turbo vanes start getting stuck because of the fumes accumulating in there. I did mine and I know it's better for the turbo.
Ya but you lose power from you crank case not having neg pressure on the back side of the piston . I also creates more wear., the neg pressure helps seal and evacuated gasses better. Look it up. Ive built allot of high performance engines . Guys with tubos use the inlet of the turbo to get that neg pressure guys with out buy expensive vacuum pumps.The internet not always correct www.google.com/search?q=crank+case+neg+pressure+hp&rlz=1C1HLDY_enUS731US732&oq=crank+case+neg+pressure+hp&aqs=chrome..69i57.8367j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
What can I do to get rid of the engine light after ccv is removed and cranck breather?
@@luiscamacho99 do u have a tuner u can try clearing the codes. If not try disconnecting your battery for like 30mins and reconnect.
@@EVERYTHANGDIESEL disconnect both (2) batteries?
Grid heater is a resistor. Diesels have two batteries for a reason. Its not hard on the system. Its designed to work that way. I live on the gulf coast and will not delete mine. It warms the air going into the intake. Reduces cold engine run time. Makes engine last longer.
Get an air box heater
I recommend a velvet body upgrade my 68 rfe is a 100% better I also did the thermostat delete and I also plan on getting the co-pilot for the wiring harness. That will increase my total capacity big time
Excellent Vid Bro! I miss my Cummins. I'm going to pick another one up soon!!
Thanks man! Glad u liked it!!
Got same truck so glad I found your channel love watching the same stuff that I got in the driveway mine's gold though wish it was white but metallic gold on black is still sexy lmfao 2007.5 6.7 strong boys
Great videos man because of you I’ve done all the deletes to my 2012 6.7 Cummins
That's dope man! Saving that money! Glad to hear my videos helping you out brother! Good stuff
I was going to pay a shop to do this here in midland Texas but just for them to the exhaust and just to disconnect the egr and not take it off was going to run me $2,500 but thanks to your vids I did it for free
Great video man! Just got an 08 megacab short bed Dually with the 6.7 and I love these kind of videos.
This is my first vid from your channel! Just gotta say you earned a subscriber man! Great vid and I’ll be sure to watch all of your other helpful vids as well. Sweet truck by the way!!! 😎
Everardo Balderas thanks man!! Glad you enjoyed the video! Hopefully you find more helpful content thank you again
One more mod that will extend your engine life is an oil bypass system . A little pricey but well worth it . There are many companies that sell them . Semi trucks have been using them for years and that’s how they get a million miles on there engines
You seem like the kind of dude I'd enjoy working on a truck with. Thanks, Everythang Diesel. Subscribed
thanks brother i appreciate the comment! welcome to the family man i got tons of content on here with weekely uploads!
also make sure your following the channel instagram for 1st dib sneak peaks for the truck and channel
Thank you so much!!! Cant wait to get to a state that doesnt hate deletes!!!
Yeah man no worries it's nice cause then u can do anything lol
Unless you plan on driving to states that look for visual parts that are supposed to be there and give you a 10k dollar ticket!
Is Florida one of those states that I can get away with deletes?
Kinda new to Cummins mods. Waited 70k miles to do my first delete (DPF/EGR/CCV) after watching a few of your videos, now I just keep wanting to do more! Next will likely be throttle valve delete, then heater grid delete. Anyway, thanks for the vids!
Hell yeah man glad u watching the videos and they're helping you! Appreciate it!!
What's up bro. Your video/videos were some of the first videos I watched for my 1st diesel (6.7 2008 2500). I appreciate it 👍.
It's NOT a real TRUCK unless it is a CUMMINs Great Video
Strong work growing your YT channel. You say in this video you are trying to get to 2000 subs, and now, a year and change later, you are over 10K subs. Awesome work man!
thanks man i appreciate it a lot!! the channel has been growing strong man, got awesome viewers.
I'm new to deisels but deleting the warmer plate wouldn't that make it hard to start in cold weather
You should get the Banks INtercooler with the huge tubes, because now your bottleneck is the intercooler with small stock tubes... The Banks made my truck really haul ass after the full delete.
I dont have a stock intercooler I have a mishimoto intercooler with 3.5" piping. I got a video installing it.
@@EVERYTHANGDIESEL way to go!
I’m in Cali and we’re putting the stock stuff on for the dealers because stupid Cali has to have smog before they can sell, it’s money for us but the delete is way to go, it’s like you have 5.9 just better. IF it’s deleted, if it’s not so many probs and the VGT sucks, but in Cali f450 meets weight no smog rolls coal all day and semi trucks can cause weight lol 😂 black smoke falls to ground, smoke from fires or whatever go to the sky 😂 anyways never seen your vids but cool vid bro, I see thumbs down on this but I see a human with some knowledge with diesel posting a vid about his truck he enjoys and takes care of so I’m thumbs up bro.
thanks brother i appreciate that and yeah i get a lot of cali viewers hating they can't delete there trucks,
Ya, seen some do it but ain’t worth the ticket, so I just say to friends hallow that dpf filter, way looks stock but you don’t have that soot build up cause those 6.7 around town, just clogs things up
Spend $100 and get a oil catch can and put it between the ccv and the turbo will catch 95% of the oil and crap then just drain it every oil change. plus the ccv filter is changed every 67k proper maintenance is key for engines. the 6.7 might have a bit more maintenance. but if you clean and do the maintenance you should not have any problems with the emissions systems. plus the diesel is meant to tow. if you just do short trips you will have DPF problems quickly get it hot and drive it not just to the grocery store. and you should not have any problems with it.
Thats exactly what I ended up doing!! I got a new video of the catch can install. I didn't run the hose down to the turbo though. It's just open.
@@EVERYTHANGDIESEL The only mistake you made with the catch can is that it needs to be lower than where it comes out of the top
Great channel! I have a 3rd gen too. It's great to see what you've done and how you did it! Thanks!
Thank you man! Thank you watching my videos! Glad u enjoy them! Stay tune for more stuff man!!
Nice video. I'd like to point out that a lift pump is truly only necessary over 750-800 whp for these 6.7s
thanks man but tbh a lift pump is actually one of the best mods you can do even for a stock truck. the added filtration and consistent fuel being supplied and not airrated is better for combustion and easier fuel burn.
I appreciate that you share your opinion and experience on this topic.
Love your vids brother! Much love from your diesel enthusiasts all the way from Southeast Idaho!
Thank you man!!
The only problem with eliminating the relief is the rail pressure may reach extreme pressures if the pump decides to send all of it and it has no where to go. It's a safety so you don't have a high pressure fuel leak potentially. Im getting a 6.7 2500 this week so just trying to get ideas of what to do to it.
True but you wouldn't have to worry about that on a stock injection pump. If you had dual cp3s then yeah or a 14mm stroke pump then for sure!
@@EVERYTHANGDIESEL wouldn't the dual pumps just give you more flow essentially? I got my truck last Thursday and I found it's had the def, dpf, egr deletes all done already. It has a bully dog programmer as well... appears like it's still on its original head gasket yet so i gotta plan to do head studs sooner then later. I'll be deleting/rerouting the ccv soon!
It's a diesel the reason it pulls power from your batteries is because you dont let it cycle like you should if you let it cycle before you start it then it's better for all aspects of the engine
Love your channel dude! Keep up the good work! Love your truck also! Cummins is the best!
thanks bro i appreciate the words of confidence!! thank you for watching.
Great video bro thank you I just got a 6.7 and tomorrow I'm checking it out bless
I agree, in most cases the grid heater is not really needed. But as an FYI, grid heater is not just to help it start in cold weather. It also helps the emissions from the vehicle on those cold starts to improve faster and run better.
Pretty truck man I just picked up a 08 Cummins
Thank u man same year as mine
Big thanks Man seriously appreciate how you explain things nice and detailed and to the point
I just bought a 2008 6.7 Cummins. Thanks for the vid! The previous owner has the crankcase hose routed to the turbo...will def change that!
They come like that from the factory stock. Lol but yeah man it saves that turbo for sure!
@@EVERYTHANGDIESEL They did the whole delete kit but not the CCV delete. Weird why they wouldn't do that? Just doesn't make any to route all of that crap to your turbo. Anyways, thank to your vid I am doing the CCV delete and installing a new cold air intake.
Just found you on TH-cam. Love your videos. Just became a subscriber for life. Keep it up and God bless you
thanks brother and welcome to the family man!!! glad your enjoying the content!!
Great content, love your video’s my man! Keep it going!
Is it me or are these Diesel drivers/owners getting younger and younger... or maybe I'm just getting older (I'm 56). There are other TH-cam DIY'ers with the 6.7 Cummins that look as young as this guy. Not what I would expect as Diesel truck owners.... these trucks are expensive! Good Video young man, I'll try your third suggestion on my 6.7 Cummins, which by the way, is in NC also
Hahaha perhaps due to diesel truck being popular in the racing community and aftermarket world so young people have a liking to them
Just an fyi, banks fixed the issue. Look at banks monster ram. Hebtook the grid out and used a coil.
Cool you have the 4wd twin of my truck. Fraternal twins cause mine is 2wd but outside of that they look the same. I've got some plans for adding some stuff to mine as well. See what time and money allow.
Hell yeah man. Good luck bro! I like your taste lol
An oil catch can is a better solution so all the breather hose is closed off from the outside moisture and isn't of leaking the junk out of the hose it gets collected in a tank. Just need a place to mount it.
You got my follow bro, great video. Just got a 21' 6.7 a couple weeks ago all stock as of now.
You are definitely my new channel brother man. Love every second of it. Gonna be back logging for sure. Mechanicing son of a gun. Thanks MB . Be safe in NC and Happy 4 Th
Yea my 4th gen would go right with the lights dimming and everything when cold started. But live in Canada
I question the crank case oil filter delete my friend, wouldn't just changing that filter regular be a better idea?
love the vids. thanks for the info!
He didn't delete the crank case filter, he just delete the hose FROM THE FILTER that's goes on top of the valve cover to the turbo intake hose, he is preventing that the engine suck all of the oil gases from the engine, keeping the turbo and all the intake tubes, intercooler, throttle, plenum, cylinder head clean, plus fresh clean air makes that Cummins more efficient, hope you understand
The small filter on top of the tube is to prevent the engine pressure to spray those gases with tiny oil particles into the engine bay cause a mess
My truck is throwing a P1011. Everything is stock and just replaced the fuel filter. It’s falling on its face at 2800 and check engine comes on. Is it because of the fuel rail?
did not do heater removal. I like snow boarding and snow. Did most of what I see in your engine on my 2015. also did 1/4" hole and tapping rubber washer plug in both diffs. Draining and filling is so simple now. With My G56 6 speed, I have been averaging 24-30 MPGS freeway. MY truck is Jewish/frugal/efficient from 2016-2021.
Nice man. Made it reliable!
The grid heater terrifies me man because of that bolt falling into the cylinder. I’d love to delete it but my problem is I live in Virginia and come late January and February it’s down in the 20s and teens out here
What happens when the ccv filter starts getting clogged can you buy just a filter or do you have to order a whole new kit. And I’m not seeing it anywhere on Amazon if you find a link lmk
For that pcv .od wouldnt it be better to run a catch can setup? The purpose of the pcv is to create a vacuum to help seal the runs and seals from leaking. Catch can kit keeps that ability but seperates oil from the air
Looking good watch out for the EPA.
Do you think the CCV filter / hose elbow should be angled down? seems the sludge/gunk would stay down in the elbow and not all vent upwards towards the filter.. Just a thought. Excellent video
No leaving it up is fine. So the gases are gonna rise because it hot. It's not physical sludge or liquid until it goes through the filter and even then half the time it's more of a vent than filter.
Ahh gotcha. Ok I will be doing this Mod soon. Thanks again for the videos!
Yessir!
Aloha Bro! Sick Vid. So just to summarize the best Dad Truck you would recommend is a 2006-2007.5 Mega Cab 5.9. For room and budget. However, what dually year would you recommend, and would you go dually?
i would absolutely go with 06-09 megacab 2500 for dad truck they are affordable and reliable and have tons of room for the family. idk your towing situation but a dually is nice too if you tow heavy stuff 24/7 but the SRW is more than capable of towing a good amount. me personally i like my SRW over duallys
Are u using stock egt sensor for the tuner to read?
Subbed!! I did these exact mods and agreed with you 100, I just bought a 16 and she is rolling 40x15.5 24s and want to delete to get better response and let that Cummins breathe!
i bet them some sick ass wheels man!! once you delete the truck your going to love the throttle response!
Great video. Where did you get the blue coolant line (the one attached to the bleed vent)?
Good clip, whatever you do, don't move to California, they would come after you harder than a serial killer, i guess you're not a big fan of the green new deal, haha, keep them coming, diesel power baby!!
i was stationed in san diego for a while and they dont play around. good thing im from florida
Banks idash and pedal monster. I’m working on intake horn and air box, exhaust.
Just asking but you make sure to cycle your computers before you start the truck right cause that would stop the grid heater from cycling as your running your vehicle
Naw I don't do that. It dont get cold enough where I am it rarely comes on.
@@EVERYTHANGDIESEL cycling the system with a diesel is always a good idea before starting it and the grid heater is installed not to reduce any air flow and the flow it does reduce is minimal where as the benefits that it adds for easier starts when used properly and prolonged engine life for not having to cold start
Thanks for the informative video. I got a question bout the ccv filter comment that you made towards the end of the video. I don't think that by disposing of the ccv filter would work. If I remember correctly the nipple that your ccv breather attaches to is actually part of the filter.
thanks man and you can get rid of the nipple becasue all it does is route the crank fumes into the filter. by removing it, the crank fumes will naturally move out to the side of the cover.
Money money money hard come by but I love your truck it will get there keep going at it
Thanks bro! Im gonna go get the stuff for that 3rd one right now.
Gr8 vid. I live in NC also and today I’m trading in my ticking time bomb 6.0 power stroke for 6.7 Cummings after purchase I’d like to may link up with you to do some of same mods you have done. Drop me some info. on your location, and let’s try to make that happen.
thats awesome man! i make these videos so you can be able to do this work at home, not very hard just need some tools and a weekend lol
Awesome video! Thanks. I just bought one and this is very informative.
Thanks for putting that together. Good stuff
