The Best First Mods for a 6.7L Cummins (Ultimate 2025 Guide)

When you buy a 6.7L Cummins–powered Ram, you’re already working with one of the most reliable diesel engines ever built. Whether you're towing, daily driving, or planning a performance build, the right upgrades will dramatically improve power, reliability, and drivability.

Here are the Top 6 first mods every 6.7L Cummins owner should consider — with links to our most popular Cummins collections so you can shop fast and easy.


1. Intake Upgrade — Better Airflow, Better Performance

The stock Cummins intake restricts airflow and limits power. Upgrading improves throttle response, reduces EGTs, and supports future mods.

✔ Shop 6.7L Cummins Intakes

What to look for:

✔ High-flow designs
✔ Smooth inlet paths
✔ Reduced turbo lag
✔ Trusted brands (Banks, S&B, AFE)


2. Exhaust & Turbo Backpressure Upgrades

Freeing up exhaust flow allows your turbo to spool faster and keeps EGTs under control — especially important for towing or tuned trucks.

✔ Shop Cummins Turbo Components

3. Fuel System Protection (FASS / AirDog)

Air vapor, low fuel pressure, and dirty fuel kill injectors.
A quality lift pump is one of the best reliability mods you can buy.

Benefits include:
✔ Cleaner fuel
✔ Proper pressure
✔ Longer injector life
✔ Better throttle response


4. Turbo Upgrade or Billet Compressor Wheel

Not ready for a full turbo setup? A billet wheel improves spool, reduces surge, and drops EGTs dramatically.

✔ Shop 6.7L Cummins Turbos

✔ Shop Turbo Accessories

5. Monitoring & Tuning Tools

Monitoring tools like the CTS3, Banks iDash, or Edge Pulsar protect your investment and keep your tuning safe.

✔ Shop Tuners & Monitoring

You’ll be able to track:

  • Boost

  • EGTs

  • Fuel pressure

  • Transmission temps

  • Regen cycles


6. Transmission Upgrades (Especially for 68RFE Trucks)

The 68RFE is a known weak point. Upgrading it early prevents expensive failures.

Recommended upgrades:
