Cheap LB7 Intake Heater Delete

[SIKDMAX]

Mike, the ones you are selling are the ones done up on a waterjet?

LB7 has it start to come on when IAT are below 75*.

Did you LB7 Guys notice any difference in power

you would have to find some one that did just this mod i did mine with to many others things to tell .

I've done mine since the Dyno day, but I would bet that most noticeable gains are gonna be at higher rpms, when the engine is really moving air.

Takes all of five minutes to swap the heater out and reflash a deleted tune.

if you remove this does it hurt you when starting in the winter???

You just swap the heater element back in for the winter.

A Cummins drain plug, eh? My 22mm pipe plug didnt work, so thank you very very much for this idea!

The Autozone link didnt work for me. What is the part number, and did you snap a pic of it?

just go into napa and ask for a cummins oil drain plug. there like 7.49. just say like 2000 model i think thats what i asked for. i swear i think i could tell a difference on mine.

You definitely need one of these Tom. Take your heater in the store with you as there are two cummins drain plugs to choice from and yes, it makes a difference!

 

[LarryJewell]

wonder if it would make a difference on a 12 valve

 

[02bigstrokin]

its the one m22x1.5 i asked for one off a 2000 model.

gotcha...I might do that this weekend. What kind of code does it throw? I don't access to efi live for a little while. Could I run without it or delete the fault with a predator? I'm anxious to see what kinda results I might have. Did you notice an improvement travis?

I deleted mine before i had EFI live. I wouldnt get a code until it was below 55 degrees or so. If it was warmer then that its not used and i didnt get a code.

Anyone had issues with it "leaking"? I've read on a lot of cummins and ps forums that they have had issues leaking in the past.

yes the ones I make are nice and clean, and cut on the waterjet.

The thread is mostly talking about the delete for LB7, Mine are for LBZ/LMM trucks.

 

[SIKDMAX]

I'll take one.

Well Dustin (othrgrl) and I met up tonight, deleted the code with efi live and plugged the heater. Took probably 10 minutes. Can't honestly say that I can tell a difference; just a piece of mind. I assume it has to have some sort of restriction considering its' size. Wonder how to measure the improvements?

egt's might show something dont know what else . but like you said after seeing it in there it has to do something its quite restrictive .

 

[TheBac]

Air flowing thru a less-restrictive path into the engine is not a bad thing....

Removed mine along time ago, and still ran the same track times It def can't hurt removing it though.
