This 1998.5-2007 Dodge 5.9L Cummins Diesel Intake Grid Heater Delete Spacer is a performance modification specifically designed for 1998.5-2007 Dodge trucks equipped with the legendary 5.9L Cummins engine. This spacer is a precision-machined piece, typically made from high-grade aluminum or billet materials, designed to replace the stock grid heater assembly. Its primary purpose is to optimize airflow to the engine, delivering notable performance and efficiency benefits.
Enhanced Airflow:
- By removing the restrictive grid heater, the spacer allows for a smoother and more unrestricted flow of air into the intake manifold. This results in improved engine breathing, which is critical for performance tuning and higher horsepower applications.
Performance Gains:
-
Increased airflow often translates to quicker turbo spool-up, enhanced throttle response, and potential gains in horsepower and torque, especially noticeable in modified engines running higher boost pressures.
Reduced EGTs (Exhaust Gas Temperatures):
- Better airflow helps maintain cooler combustion chamber temperatures, which is critical for prolonging engine life and preventing overheating under heavy loads or towing conditions.
Lightweight and Durable Construction:
- The spacer's construction ensures long-term durability without adding significant weight to the intake system. High-quality finishes often provide resistance against corrosion and wear.
Ease of Installation:
- Designed as a bolt-on upgrade, this spacer typically uses factory hardware, making installation straightforward for DIY enthusiasts or professional mechanics.
Packages includes:
- 1PC Intake Grid Heater Spacer
- 2PCS Intake Grid Heater Gaskets
