aFe BladeRunner Intake Heater Relocation Kit – 2007.5-2018 Ram 6.7L Cummins Diesel
The aFe POWER 46-10074 BladeRunner intake heater relocation kit solves one of the most common failure points on the 2007.5-2018 Dodge/Ram 6.7L Cummins diesel platform. On the factory setup, the grid heater is mounted in a location prone to EGR contamination and connection failures that degrade cold-weather starting and can trigger fault codes. The aFe 46-10074 relocates the intake heater to a position in front of the intake manifold, placing it upstream of the EGR feed where it stays clean and functions reliably. The 46-10074 is precision-machined from 6061 billet aluminum alloy, providing optimal strength at minimal weight. The relocation kit is fully compatible with both OEM intake manifold and aFe POWER BladeRunner aftermarket intake manifold and charge pipe assemblies, making the 46-10074 an ideal foundation piece for a staged intake upgrade. Every 46-10074 ships complete with all necessary gaskets, hardware, and mounting provisions for a straightforward installation.

Why Choose the aFe 46-10074
The factory 6.7L Cummins intake heater arrangement is widely acknowledged in the diesel community as a maintenance issue waiting to happen. EGR soot accumulates on the heater element in the factory location, degrading heater efficiency and causing connection failures. The aFe 46-10074 is the engineered solution — relocating the heater to a clean-air environment where it performs consistently and is simple to access for inspection or replacement. The billet aluminum construction of the 46-10074 also resists the heat and vibration stresses common in diesel intake systems far better than factory plastic or stamped components.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will installing 46-10074 throw fault codes? The 46-10074 maintains proper intake heater function in a new location. If installed correctly, no heater-related fault codes should be generated.
- Is the 46-10074 compatible with EGR-delete setups? Yes. Because the 46-10074 places the heater upstream of the EGR port, it is compatible with both stock EGR and EGR-modified configurations.
- Does 46-10074 fit the 2007 (non-.5) Ram? The 46-10074 fitment starts with the 2007.5 model year when Dodge introduced the 6.7L Cummins. The pre-.5 6.7L is not covered.
- Will 46-10074 work with my factory intake manifold? Yes. The 46-10074 is compatible with both the OEM intake manifold and the aFe BladeRunner aftermarket manifold.
- Do I need to remove the intake manifold for installation? Intake manifold removal may be required depending on your specific build. The included instructions detail the process for both manifold-on and manifold-off installations.
- Can the factory grid heater be reused? The 46-10074 is designed to work with your existing factory grid heater element relocated to the new position.
- What is the warranty on the 46-10074? The aFe POWER 46-10074 is covered by the aFe POWER limited warranty. Contact Black Ops Auto Works for warranty support.
- Is 46-10074 a good first mod for my 6.7L Cummins? Yes. The 46-10074 addresses a known reliability concern and pairs well with intake and exhaust upgrades on the 6.7L platform.
Installation Instructions
Disconnect the battery. Remove the factory intake heater from its original mounting location. Install the 46-10074 billet housing in the new position using provided hardware and gaskets. Reconnect the heater element wiring. Reinstall any intake components removed during the process. Reconnect the battery and verify proper operation with a scan tool.

Air Intake Components
Air intake components control how filtered air enters the engine, directly affecting throttle response, power output, and fuel efficiency. Upgrading the intake path from the filter to the throttle body is one of the most accessible performance modifications available for nearly any vehicle.Popular UpgradesCold air intake kits are the most common upgrade, relocating the filter to a cooler area of the engine bay and replacing the restrictive factory airbox with a mandrel-bent tube for improved flow. Short ram intakes keep the filter closer to the engine for a more compact installation while still outperforming stock setups. Replacement performance air filters let you upgrade within the factory airbox without changing any tubing, which works well for vehicles where airbox location is optimal.What performance gains can I expect from an air intake upgrade?Gains depend on the vehicle and existing intake setup. Most naturally aspirated vehicles see modest horsepower increases in the 5–15 h...
