Ram 1500 EcoDiesel full delete kit with EZ Lynk Auto Agent 3 (2014-2019)
The 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 Ram 3.0 EcoDiesel Delete Kit with EZ Lynk Auto Agent 3 combines cloud-based tuning, DPF/DEF/SCR delete hardware, and EGR cooler delete in one off-road package. The complete setup reduces exhaust restriction, stops regeneration cycles and DEF consumption, and matches the engine calibration to the modified emissions system.
What's included in Ram EcoDiesel delete kit
-
EZ Lynk Auto Agent 3 - The cloud-connected Ecodiesel tuner plugs into the OBD-II port and works through a smartphone. EZ Lynk supports custom tunes, live data monitoring, diagnostics, remote file delivery, and SOTF-compatible tuning.
-
3-Inch DPF/CAT Delete Pipe - The 3-inch T-409 stainless steel pipe replaces the factory particulate filter and catalyst section while retaining the remaining factory exhaust. Mandrel bends, OE-style routing, sensor bungs, and mounting points support bolt-on fitment.
-
EGR Valve & Cooler Delete Kit - The Ecodiesel EGR delete kit removes the EGR valve and cooler hardware to stop exhaust recirculation. Aluminum block-off components, gaskets, sealing hardware, hoses, and fittings reduce soot buildup and intake clogging.
-
Installation Hardware - Stainless clamps, gaskets, brackets, fasteners, and sealing components are supplied for the corresponding hardware configuration.

How the delete kit works on your 3.0 EcoDiesel
-
Loads the EZ Lynk tune for the modified emissions configuration.
-
Removes DPF and catalyst restriction to stop regeneration cycles.
-
Disables DEF/SCR operation to prevent related derate conditions.
-
Eliminates EGR recirculation to reduce soot and intake contamination.
-
Reduces backpressure and EGTs for improved engine response.
The Ram Ecodiesel delete kit requires the correct custom calibration before the vehicle is operated with the factory emissions hardware removed.
Installation information
The Ram 1500 Ecodiesel delete kit includes installation guidance, and an experienced owner can install the bolt-on hardware independently. The correct EZ Lynk calibration should be loaded and verified before DPF, DEF/SCR, or EGR hardware is removed.
Seized clamps, rusted fasteners, difficult sensor delete, or limited access around the EGR cooler can increase install time. Dieselino recommends transferring exhaust sensors carefully and checking exhaust joints for leaks after the first heat cycle.
