The factory grid heater uses a terminal bolt that is notorious for degrading, melting, and dropping directly into cylinder number 6. Deleting the grid heater entirely eliminates this \"killer bolt\" risk and saves your engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ2: Will removing the grid heater trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2: Yes. Because you are disconnecting a factory electrical component, your truck's computer will trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL) related to the intake heater circuit. While the truck will still run and drive perfectly fine, you will need either a custom tune or a plug-in grid heater fooler\/resistor cable to clear the code from your dash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ3: How will this affect cold starts in the winter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA3: The factory grid heater is designed to warm the intake air for easier starting in freezing temperatures. If you live in a mild or warm climate, you won't notice a difference. However, if you live in regions with harsh, freezing winters, you will need to rely on plugging in your factory engine block heater overnight to ensure smooth cold starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ4: Will I notice a performance or horsepower increase?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA4: Yes. The factory grid heater sits directly in the intake plenum and acts as a massive restriction. By replacing it with the SPELAB machined plate, you allow a massive volume of cooler, denser air into the engine. This results in quicker turbo spool, better throttle response, lower Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs) while towing, and a noticeable bump in power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ5: Is this plate compatible with my specific year of Ram?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA5: Yes, the SPELAB grid heater delete is a direct-fit upgrade for all 2007 through 2024 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ6: Can I install the grid heater delete myself, and how long does it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA6: Yes, it is a straightforward bolt-on process that can be done in your driveway with basic hand tools. Installation typically takes 1 to 2 hours. We highly recommend upgrading your intake manifold (intake horn) at the same time, as you will already have the factory plumbing removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ7: Will installing a grid heater delete void my warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA7: Modifying factory intake and emissions-related components can potentially impact your powertrain warranty, especially on newer models.
