2007–2018 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Diesel

Part #: 76-1014

Overview

The S&B Intake Elbow (REAR) is a premium replacement part designed specifically for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine from 2007 through 2018. This intake elbow addresses a common failure point found in the factory grid heater and intake elbow assembly, which can lead to costly engine damage if left unaddressed. By installing the S&B Intake Elbow along with the billet grid heater delete plate, owners can eliminate the failure-prone factory components while improving airflow and protecting their investment.

Ideal for diesel truck enthusiasts and professionals who demand reliability and enhanced performance, this intake elbow upgrade ensures your Cummins engine breathes more efficiently and runs cooler under heavy loads or extreme conditions.

Key Features

The S&B Intake Elbow offers a range of benefits that improve both durability and engine performance:

• Includes a billet grid heater delete plate to eliminate the factory grid heater, a common failure point
• Comes with a single coil style intake air heater for reliable cold-start performance
• All new OEM gaskets ensure a perfect seal and prevent leaks
• New cylinder #1 fuel line designed to accommodate the larger elbow diameter
• Complete hardware kit included for straightforward installation
• Durable construction built to withstand harsh diesel engine environments
• Protects your engine from intake-related failures and potential catastrophic damage

Construction & Design

The S&B Intake Elbow is crafted from high-quality materials engineered to endure the rigors of diesel engine operation. Its precision billet construction ensures a robust and reliable component that resists cracking and warping common in factory parts. The design optimizes airflow by reducing restrictions and turbulence, which helps improve engine efficiency and longevity. The included billet grid heater delete plate replaces the factory grid heater with a more durable solution, eliminating a frequent failure point without compromising cold weather starting capability thanks to the included single coil intake air heater.

Performance & Sound

By improving intake airflow, the S&B Intake Elbow contributes to enhanced engine breathing, which can support better throttle response and overall performance. While primarily focused on durability and reliability, this upgrade also helps maintain consistent engine operation under demanding conditions. The removal of the factory grid heater reduces potential intake restrictions, allowing your Cummins diesel to perform more efficiently without unwanted noise or vibration changes.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward with all necessary hardware and components included. The kit features new OEM gaskets and a redesigned cylinder #1 fuel line to accommodate the larger elbow diameter, ensuring a proper fit without modifications. This intake elbow is a direct replacement for the factory part on 2007–2018 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine. Note that this product does not fit Ram Chassis Cab models; those require a different intake elbow solution.
