Grid heater bolt doesn't rust, it melt from high amperage flowing through it. This is why the kit you bought is valuable and a good purchase. You get more air flow to the cylinder head ports from the new intake horn but you get the same amount of airflow into the cylinder as a stock horn. The bottle neck is the port itself. Horn doesn't give you any more air to the engine than you had.
I have a 2014 and ran into the same issue with the CCV down pipe. 6:10 I made a spacer (about 3/8” long) and then mounted the down pipe. No more squishing the coolant hose.
I have the same truck except 2015. Midnight. EFI Live anarchy diesel tunes. Big Intake horn. Mishimoto coolant lines. Banks hot and cold pipes. 180 Thermostat and going in for a Fleece Turbo upgrade. Truck is absolutely fire now. Also got rid of the CCV filter with a billet valve cover.
@@Nolan45000 Nolan… agreed this can happen I blew a seal on my valve cover. This only happened because I ran my CCV hose to a catch can and it filled up and clogged. I ran this set up for two years no issues just forgot about the filter. I now run it to the ground open ended like the millions of 12Valves run them. The only reason it goes to the turbo is for EPA reasons to rerun the gasses bad through the intake into the engine. THis makes the turbo and intake extremely dirty and unnecessary. I also deleted my CCV filter which I recommend as well it is also not needed if you are removing the routing from the turbo. It is another point of clogging .
What you have to do is remove the filter media from the CCV altogether. I did that and rerouted a hose along the firewall and down into an existing hole in the frame on the passenger side. I added an S&B cold air intake and just used a brass plug/hose clamp to seal the bung Have never had an issue with any of it
I put a twister muffler on my 2015 6.7 . It gets rid of the drone while driving and pulling trailers. The muffler sounds sweet, deep and throaty. Helps keep maximum flow with a little quiet.The one I installed was 30 inches overall length. You can buy shorter ones to. Flo-Pro makes one and someone else does to.
Nice video!!! I’m about to do the same to my 4th Generation ‘Farm’ truck. Have you still been happy with the ‘D.Dudes tune? I am wanting to utilize them as well. Thanks!!!
Thank you!! It's still pretty new but so far so good. Tows like a champ too! I would suggest them to someone else, especially if they're doing everything at once.
Elitediesel.com and dieseldudes.com are my two favorite. Now that I understand a little more I think I prefer elitediesel. But when you order they send you complete instructions on tuning. Both companies use gdp tuning files though I believe.
Stock head really doesn’t need upgrading at those power levels. The weak links are the valve body in the tranny and the fuel injectors if you want more power.
And Head studs. I can not suggest them enough. If you tow with this truck removing the EGR basically removes the factory “waste gate”. The turbine wheel exhaust side of the holstet turbo is too small to get rid of head pressure. Believe me I have been through two head gaskets. Went to arp 2000’s and still an issue. Get the 625s and have some insurance.
@krystofer66 If the owner wants to do more we would start in those areas but he really drives the truck on the weekends and he by all means doesn't have a heavy foot. But the way I see it if I'm doing studs I would attack the valve springs and push rods at the same time. And thanks for the ccv delete tip the kit should've at least given me a filter and the cap for the air intake. I will for sure be doing that now.
If you tuned the transmission with the deletes you should be fine. I have 100k miles on my tunes. Just make sure the shift points are shifting higher now. Around 2k rpm
@@ThanksHero Takes somegetting used to for sure but without it you put too much torque to your input shaft if you change your HP output level it can be very bad for your transmission. THe quick hard shifting is better for your transmission actually and the higher RPM creates a lower torque for the shift.

I went ahead and did a ccv hose delete the next week to fix the issue.

Looking at gettin me a 2018-2019 ish 2500. Definitely going this route as well if I do
You need to remove the CCV hose altogether. I took 5/8’’ heater hose and ran it behind the block to the ground for venting.
Bad idea that will cause seals to leak, keeping the hose connected to the turbo helps relieve crank case pressure.

@caseyjohnson-ni9jq I think that's the right choice as well he put some other type of muffler on it and it didn't do much at all.

Got a question on the tune process , do you have any suggestions for that much appreciated

Nicely done... do you have a stock air filter?
what mod would you do next. Do you think the intercooler tube replacements are worth it
It has stock air filter. And honestly I would probably start thinking about push rods and valve springs before too much more.

How’re you going to fix the abs issue?
What tune is it you put in your truck if I can asks .I just got a 2018 6.7 got my banks on the way and just put the S@B cold air intake
@anthonyborill306 went with GDP shift on the fly tuning.
What is the “service electronic brake system” warning for?
Abs wiring has issues on these trucks.
@BRANT-RAY the brush in the ABS pump motor gets stuck and causes the issue.
It's a common problem on the 17-18 trucks.
How is this fixed? I know a 2018 that needs it
EGT plug doesn’t get tight. The threads go all the way there the hole so it just keeps going through the other side.
Salty Monster!
👍
Sshhhhhhh
Pheds listen guy!!
I don’t believe you done any this work but good looking out on hookin you DADDYS truck up
Thanks for watching my video.
Time to upgrade that valve body now that it has more power
I'm thinking the exact same thing.
If you tuned the transmission with the deletes you should be fine. I have 100k miles on my tunes. Just make sure the shift points are shifting higher now. Around 2k rpm
"Time to upgrade that valve body now that it has more power"
Best advice in this comment section.
@@krystofer66I’ve tried 2k shift points and the lurch in 1st though 3rd is terrible for daily driving.

Completely stock minus the switch and black smoke😂😂
Wish these trucks had better auto transmissions. They can’t handle the tuning for very long sadly
You said 104000 it's 101527! WTH?
@redwood379 lol yeah I noticed that too! Almost clock work.
That’s exactly what I want to do to my farm truck
The truck is a blast to drive after it!
To much cut my guy.
I agree.
I was wondering who was going to say it. Lol
Just did this banks kit on my 3500 2018 ram only 39.000 miles see how it works out😊😊😊
