The 6.7L Cummins has powered Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks since mid-2007, and each generation added more emissions hardware and tighter ECM security. That is why the cost to delete one swings so much by model year. This guide breaks down kit, tune, and labor costs for every generation so you can budget accurately before you order. New to deletes?

Quick Answer: 6.7 Cummins Delete Cost in 2026
Your model year is the biggest factor. Older trucks have simpler emissions systems and open ECMs; newer trucks add DEF/SCR hardware and, from 2022, a locked ECM that needs extra work to tune.
-
Full delete kits from $994Tuner Depot all-in-one kits are priced from $994 (2007.5–2009) and from $2,447 (2022–2024), with hardware and tuning matched to your year.
-
Shop labor adds $400–$1,500Most shops quote 3–6 hours at $100–$150/hour. Locked-ECM trucks sit at the top of that range.
-
2022–2024 trucks cost the mostThe locked ECM means the tune can't be flashed through the OBD2 port the usual way, so the kit includes an ECM swap solution.
-
EGR delete kits from $220The cheapest entry point, but you still need a supporting tune to run the truck without fault codes.
Total 6.7 Cummins Delete Cost by Model Year
Use this table as your starting budget. DIY totals include the full kit plus coolant, gaskets, and small supplies. Shop totals add typical labor at $100–$150/hour.

How Much Does a 2007.5–2012 6.7 Cummins Delete Cost?
Third-gen Rams are the cheapest 6.7 Cummins to delete. They carry a DPF and EGR system but no DEF/SCR, so there are fewer sensors to manage and the ECM is straightforward to tune.
2007.5–2009 Ram 2500/3500
The 2007.5–2009 Cummins delete kit is priced from $994 and bundles the DPF delete pipe, EGR delete hardware, and tuning. If you'd rather source parts separately, the 2007.5–2009 Cummins parts collection has individual DPF pipes from $220 and EGR kits from $137.50, but you still need a tuner, which is where most of the cost sits. The Mini Maxx V1 (from $689) supports 2007.5–2012 Cummins.
2010–2012 Ram 2500/3500
The 2010–2012 Cummins delete kit is priced from $1,073. Hardware fitment differs slightly from the earlier trucks, so make sure the kit matches your exact year. Expect 3–4 hours of shop labor, which puts a professional install from about $1,550 all-in.
How Much Does a 2013–2021 6.7 Cummins Delete Cost?
2013 introduced DEF injection and an SCR catalyst. The tune now has to manage DEF level and quality sensors, two NOx sensors, and SCR efficiency monitoring, which makes these trucks more involved than third-gen Rams.
The 2013–2021 Cummins delete kit is priced from $1,494 and covers both the fourth-gen (2013–2018) and early fifth-gen (2019–2021) trucks with year-matched hardware and tuning. Tuning options include the EFI Live AutoCal V3 and the EZ Lynk tune package; see every option in our 6.7 Cummins tuner collection. Running a Ram 3500–5500 Cab & Chassis? The Cab & Chassis delete kit is priced from $1,617.
2019–2021 trucks use a different exhaust layout, so if you're buying pipes separately, pick the 2019–2024 DPF delete pipe (from $302.50) instead of the 2013–2018 pipe (from $247.50); both are in the 2013–2021 Cummins parts collection. Budget 4–5 hours of shop labor, or from about $2,000 installed.
How Much Does a 2022–2024 6.7 Cummins Delete Cost?
2022–2024 Rams are the most expensive 6.7 Cummins to delete because the ECM is locked against standard OBD2 tuning. Getting a delete tune onto the truck requires an ECM solution, not just a handheld.
The 2022–2024 Cummins delete kit is priced from $2,447 and is built around an ECM swap, alongside the DPF delete pipe, EGR delete hardware, and tuner. Because the ECM is handled as part of the kit, you avoid the separate bench-unlock fees and downtime that make late-model deletes so costly elsewhere.
EZ Lynk Cummins Delete: Can You Delete a Cummins With an EZ Lynk Tuner?
Yes. On 2007.5–2021 6.7L Cummins trucks, an EZ Lynk Auto Agent loaded with a delete tune can run the truck with the DPF, DEF, and EGR removed. It's one of the most popular Cummins tuning setups because the tunes are managed from an app on your phone.
-
How it worksThe EZ Lynk Auto Agent plugs into the OBD2 port and pairs with the EZ Lynk app. Delete tunes are delivered through the app, so you can load updates without shipping hardware back and forth.
-
Single tune or switch-on-the-flyChoose a single delete tune, or a switch-on-the-fly (SOTF) package that includes a switch so you can change power levels from the cab.
-
Which trucks it fitsThe EZ Lynk Cummins tune package covers 2007.5–2021 6.7L Cummins (and the 5.0L Nissan Cummins). 2022–2024 trucks have a locked ECM and need the 2022–2024 ECM-swap kit instead.
-
Pair it with the right hardwareThe tuner handles the software side. You still need a DPF delete pipe or exhaust and an EGR delete kit to complete the delete.
Cummins Delete Kit With EZ Lynk
The easiest way to get a Cummins delete kit with an EZ Lynk tuner is to build it yourself. In Build a Kit, choose your truck, pick an EZ Lynk single-tune or SOTF package at the Tuner step, then add your EGR kit and exhaust. Everything shown is filtered to fit your truck, and the full build goes to your cart in one click.

Partial Delete vs. Full Delete: Which Costs Less?
A partial delete looks cheaper up front, but most owners end up going full delete later and paying for tuning and labor twice.
EGR-Only Delete
The 2010–2025 EGR delete kit is priced from $220 and the Cab & Chassis version from $169. Removing the EGR keeps soot out of the intake and eliminates the risk of a leaking EGR cooler. See all options in the Cummins EGR delete kit collection. You'll still need a supporting tune, so a proper EGR-only delete typically starts from about $600 depending on which tuner you choose.
DPF-Only Delete
Removing just the DPF eliminates regen cycles and exhaust backpressure, but the ECM still monitors DPF pressure, so a tune is mandatory. With a pipe and tuner, expect parts from about $900.
Why Most Owners Go Full Delete
A full kit costs only a few hundred dollars more than a tuner plus one component, and it's one install instead of two. If you plan to remove both systems eventually, buying the full kit up front saves money. We weigh the trade-offs in the pros and cons of a 6.7 Cummins delete.
DIY vs. Professional Install
Doing it yourself saves $400–$1,500, but it means draining coolant, removing exhaust sections, and flashing an ECM. Here's how to decide.
-
DIY makes sense for 2007.5–2021 trucksIf you're comfortable with coolant lines, exhaust hangers, and a handheld tuner, plan for 5–8 hours on your first install. A lift or good jack stands makes the exhaust work much easier.
-
A shop makes sense for 2022–2024 trucksThe ECM swap adds risk. A mistake can mean a no-start, so many owners pay for the extra hours of shop time.
-
Typical shop time3–4 hours on 2007.5–2012 trucks, 4–5 hours on 2013–2021, and 5–7 hours on 2022–2024.
-
Fewer shops do this work nowMany shops have stopped doing emissions work, so expect higher quotes and longer waits in some areas.
Legal & Warranty Reality Check
Know the rules before you spend a dollar. Removing emissions equipment from a vehicle certified for highway use is prohibited under federal law.
Federal Law: The Clean Air Act
42 U.S.C. § 7522(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act prohibits removing or rendering inoperative any emissions control device on a motor vehicle, and prohibits selling or installing parts designed to defeat those devices. The prohibition applies to the vehicle as certified, regardless of how it is later used. Civil penalties are set per violation and adjusted for inflation each year under 40 CFR § 19.4.
State Inspections
States with OBD-II or visual emissions inspections will flag a deleted truck, and some states add their own penalties. Check your state's inspection and registration rules before modifying any truck.
Warranty Impact
Once the emissions hardware is removed and the truck is tuned, assume Ram and Cummins can deny warranty claims on related components. If your truck is still under warranty and that coverage matters to you, don't delete it.
Optional Add-Ons for Your 6.7 Cummins Build
These upgrades pair well with a delete kit and are easiest to install while the truck is already apart.
