A system modification package designed for specific 2020 Ram EcoDiesel trucks is intended to remove or bypass components of the vehicle’s emissions control system. This typically includes elements like the diesel particulate filter (DPF), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, and sometimes the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. As an illustration, the installation of such a package might involve physically removing the DPF and installing replacement hardware and software that re-calibrates the engine’s operation.
The utilization of these modifications is frequently pursued to potentially enhance engine performance, improve fuel economy, and reduce maintenance requirements associated with emissions control devices. Historically, the appeal stemmed from perceived limitations or failures of factory-installed emissions systems, leading owners to seek alternative solutions. However, implementing such alterations carries significant legal and environmental implications.
