About This Product

The Killer Grid Heater Upgrade Kit is purpose-built to address a major flaw in the 6.7L Cummins engine that can result in total engine destruction. The problem lies in the electrical connection to the intake grid heater. When powering the grid heater, 200 amps pass through a small bolt and nut inside the intake and, over time, is known to deteriorate and eventually arc and break off. This nut drops into the engine, leading to extensive damage to the piston, head, and valves. Several solutions are currently on the market addressing this issue, but they are costly upgrades. They drastically reduce the heat available to the engine and typically require tuning, or they don't work well in cold climates. This kit upgrades that flawed electrical circuit by eliminating the problematic bolts and nuts inside the intake while retaining the stock functionality of the heater, and it is cost-effective and easy to install.

What vehicles does this Killer Grid Heater Upgrade Kit fit?

This kit is designed for 2007-2024 Dodge/Ram 2500/3500 Pick-up and 3500/4500/5500 Cab & Chassis trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine.

What problem does this upgrade kit solve?

It addresses a flaw in the OEM grid heater where the stud and nut inside the intake can break off, potentially causing severe engine damage to the piston, head, and valves.

Does this kit require engine tuning or modifications for installation?

No, the Killer Grid Heater Upgrade Kit is designed for easy installation without the need for modifications or tuning.

Will this upgrade kit cause engine codes?

No, this kit is engineered to avoid triggering engine codes P2609 and P0542.

What is included in the Killer Grid Heater Upgrade Kit?

The kit includes replacement installation hardware, gaskets, and special tools necessary for the job.

How long does the installation take?

The estimated installation time for this upgrade is 3 hours.

Does this kit maintain the stock heater's performance?

Yes, it allows for the worry-free use of the stock heater at full power (2400W), unlike some alternatives that drastically reduce heat output.

How does the kit prevent corrosion?

The kit features a tin-plated upper busbar and a zinc-plated lower busbar to prevent corrosion.

What is the 'Killer Grid Heater' problem on the 6.7L Cummins?

The factory intake grid heater uses a stud and nut inside the intake plenum that can loosen or fail after repeated heat cycles and vibration. In severe cases, the nut can enter cylinder #6 and cause catastrophic engine damage to the piston, valves, and cylinder head.

Will this cause check engine lights?

No. The kit is designed to retain normal grid heater operation and does not trigger common grid heater diagnostic trouble codes such as P2609 or P0542.
