！Before installation, confirm that：
This high-performance component does not comply with the laws and regulations for highway driving and cannot be used on any vehicle that has been registered or certified for use on highways. This means that the component may only be suitable for racing cars or other off-road vehicles. If it is installed on vehicles driving on the highway, legal issues will be borne by oneself.
This is the installation process for the ER-0017: 2014-2019 3.0L Dodge Ram 1500 EcoDiesel EGR Valve & Cooler Delete Kit,provided for your reference during installation.
Step1:
1.Remove the injector cover by firmly pulling on each side of the cover to dislodge the locating pins and free the cover from the engine.
2.Remove the sound absorbing foam pad under the fuel injection cover to expose the EGR pipe (in the white heat insulation film).
Step 2:
1.Loosen the clamp on the flexible rubber hose on the air intake tube at the filter side. See 1a Once the clamp is loose,
2.pull the hose out and away from the filter box. Lift up carefully along the intake tube until you release the ball and socket style joint holding the intake tube in place.
3.With this joint loose you will have enough room to lift the intake tube up enough to easily access the bolts on the EGR tube.
Step 3:
1.using a socket, remove the two 10mm bolts holding the EGR tube on the cooler side. See 1b. A Keep these bolts!
2.Using a socket, remove the two 8mm bolts holding the EGR tube on the intake manifoldside. See 1c.
3.With all 4 bolts removed lift up on the EGR tube from the cooler side until it clears and then slide the EGR tube to the passenger side to remove it from the intake manifold.
Step 4:
Using the provided 2 x 10mm bolts, Part #H install blocker plate Part #G onto the valve cover port.
Note:The intake side blocker plate comes with a port for mounting an optional boost gauge. If using an additional boost gauge install Part #L If no boost gauge is desired then leave plug in place. If you are doing a phase 2 install then skip ahead to step 11. If you are doing a phase 1 install only then continue with steps 8-10 only.
Step 5:
Remove the gasket from the EGR tube on the cooler side by gently pushing on the tabs that go along the sides. Reinstall this gasket onto your cooler side blocker plate Part #E. Using the factory 10mm bolts, install your blocker plate.
Step 6:
Reposition the intake tube and reconnect the ball and socket joint. Reinstall intake tube to the filter box and secure clamp.
Step 7:
1.Disconnect the MAF sensor by pulling the red tab out of the connector.
2.Open the 4 clips that hold the lid onto the air box and remove the lid and filter.
3.Follow the intake tube, removing it from the ball and socket connection as in step 3. Then locate the clamp holding the intake tube to the turbo.Undo the clamp and remove intake from turbo and out of the way.
4.Locate 2 plastic pins holding a wiring harness between the filter box and the firewall and remove the two pins to free the box of any wires.
5.Remove inner wheel well plastic.
6.Now that your filter box should be free from all connection points, lift straight up off of the locating pins and remove from vehicle.
Step 8:
1.Disconnect the vacuum line from the EGR actuator. See 1a.
2.Follow the vacuum line from the EGR actuator to the solenoid, removing any clips you find along the way. The solenoid is located on the passenger side of the throttle plate assembly.
3.Remove the Vacuum line from the solenoid.
4.Carefully guide the vacuum line out towards the front of the truck to remove it completely.
Step 9:
1.Remove the E-Clip and washer from the EGR actuator. See 1b on Step11.
2.After removing the 2 T-25 bolts from the bracket, pull the actuator off towards the front of the vehicle.
Step 10:
Removing electrical componants.
1.Disconnect the blue connector.See 1a in A
2.Disconnect the red connector.See 1b in A.
3.Disconnect the large black connector by carefully pulling the red tabs and then lifting the grey handle separating the plug. See 1a in B.
4.With the plug loose, push the fixed part of the plug towards the ground exposing the 2 clips that hold the plug onto the bracket. Remove the plug and any other clips from the bracket.
Step 11:
1.Open your coolant reservoir cap and then locate the radiator drain plug under the front drivers side. You can use a 16mm wrench to open the drain but be very careful not to break the plastic plug itself.
2.Drain about 1 gallon of coolant or until it begins to drip slowly. Re-tighten and secure the plug.
3.Locate the two 10mm bolts that hold the rear coolant hose on the body of the EGR. See 1b in B.Start by using pliers to grab the clip holding the top side hose and slide the clip back to free the hose from the coupler. Remove the 2 bolts.(*Note: some coolant will drain from the hose and EGR.)
4. Locate the front coolant line. See 1c in B,Remove the 2 8mm bolts.DO NOT loose the gasket as it will be reused.
Step 12:
1.Locate the EGR up pipe directly behind the EGR actuator removed in step # 9, and remove the 2 10mm bolts that connect the tube to the EGR unit.
Locate and remove the T-40 Torx bolt just under the flange bolts you took out of the
2.EGR up pipe in the previous step. Note: This bolt can be tough to get.
3.Locate and remove the 3 13mm bolts from the black, lower Support bracket.
Step 13:
Remove the 3 13mm bolts holding the lower EGR cooler manifold in place. The right and left bolts will be reused to bolt on bracket part #C later.
Step 14:
Going back to the lower side coolant hose that you left attached to the coupler in part C of the step 11. Again using pliers loosen the clamp holding the rubber hose to the hard coolant line and slide clamp so that the rubber hose can be removed completely. This hose will be replaced with the provided hose part # B.
Step 15:
Go back to the EGR up pipe from step #12 and trace it down to the turbo manifold. Locate and remove the 3 8mm bolts holding the lower flange in place.
*1.These bolts will be replaced with the provided part # 1.
*2.This gasket will be reused.
Step 16:
Using the supplied bolts part #I,and the factory gasket,install the turbo manifold plate part #F.
Step 17:
Using 2 13 mm bolts from the turbo manifold in step #13, mount the supplied blocker/mounting plate part #C using the same holes the bolts came out of.
Step 18:
Reusing the 2 8mm bolts and the included 2 10mm nuts and washer spart #J, fasten the Front Coolant line(see 1c from B in step #10) to the block off bracket from step #17.
Step 19:
Go back to where you removed the lower coolant line in step #11 from the hard line and using one of the provided hose clamps, fasten the supplied hose, part #B to the hard line.
Step 20:
1.Now locate the upper coolant line and put one of the supplied hose clamps on the end. Then using part #A, connect the upper and lower lines and secure clamps.
2.Secure the coolant hose to the new bracket from step #18 with provided zip tie.
Step 21:
Reattach the large electrical connector to the new bracket. Tie any left over wiring to the bracket to ensure it cannot be damaged.
Step 22:
1.Double check that all bolts, clamps and fittings are tight and secure.
2.Working backwards, re-install your air filter box, intake tube, sound foam and plastic engine cover.
3.Start your engine and check for coolant leaks.Congratulations! You are finished your phase 2 install.
Note: It is recommended that after bringing your engine up to optimal operating temperatures and running it for a while, double check for any coolant leaks and re-torque any loose bolts as needed.
