Frequently Asked Questions about the RAM 1500 EcoDiesel DPF Delete Pipe

What does a DPF delete pipe do?

A DPF delete pipe replaces the factory diesel particulate filter, reducing backpressure and improving exhaust flow. It helps increase horsepower, torque, and fuel economy, especially on tuned vehicles for off-road use.

What year EcoDiesel should I avoid?

Many owners report issues with the 2014–2016 EcoDiesel models, including EGR cooler failures and oil cooler leaks. Later models (2017–2018) tend to have improved reliability.

Why is RAM discontinuing the EcoDiesel?

RAM is discontinuing the EcoDiesel due to stricter emissions regulations, rising EV demand, and cost-effectiveness of newer powertrains. The final model year is 2023.

Does my RAM EcoDiesel have a block heater?

Most RAM EcoDiesel trucks come factory-equipped with a block heater, though a power cord may not be included. You can check under the hood near the oil filter or consult your manual.

What are the disadvantages of a DPF delete?

Deleting the DPF may void your warranty, cause legal compliance issues, and trigger check engine lights if not tuned properly. It's strictly for off-road or race use only.

Is a DPF delete safe for the engine?

When paired with proper tuning, a DPF delete can reduce EGTs and improve engine reliability. However, poor tuning or improper installation can cause long-term issues.

What is the life expectancy of the 3.0 EcoDiesel engine?

With proper maintenance, the 3.0L EcoDiesel can last over 200,000 miles. Regular oil changes and cooling system care are essential for longevity.

What is RAM replacing the EcoDiesel with?

RAM is transitioning to hybrid and turbocharged gas engines, such as the Hurricane I6, and expanding into electric platforms like the RAM 1500 REV.

What are the weak points of the EcoDiesel engine?

Common issues include EGR cooler failures, oil cooler leaks, crankshaft sensor problems, and clogged DPF systems. Regular maintenance and off-road-only deletes can help prevent failures.

Do I need a tuner for this DPF delete pipe?

Yes. A DPF delete tuner is required to suppress CELs, disable regen cycles, and ensure the vehicle runs properly after removing the DPF. This pipe will not function as intended without tuning.
