Frequently Asked Questions

The FPE-CTDT-VGT-KIT replaces the factory rubber turbo drain tube and plastic fittings on the 6.7L Cummins VGT turbocharger drain circuit. These factory components are known to weep oil and crack with heat cycling over time.

Yes. The FPE-CTDT-VGT-KIT is compatible with factory VGT turbos and with common aftermarket drop-in VGT replacement units that retain the same drain port location as the factory turbocharger.

Yes. The kit covers the full range of 6.7L Cummins VGT applications from 2007 through 2018, spanning both the Dodge Ram (2007-2010) and RAM (2011-2018) branding eras for 2500 and 3500 trucks.

No modifications are required. The FPE-CTDT-VGT-KIT is a direct drop-in replacement for the factory turbo drain tube kit on the 6.7L Cummins VGT turbocharger location.

The factory rubber hose and plastic fittings on the 6.7L Cummins VGT turbo drain circuit are exposed to continuous heat cycling and engine oil, which degrades rubber and causes the plastic fittings to crack or weep over time. The FPE-CTDT-VGT-KIT addresses both failure modes with silicone and anodized aluminum.

The FPE-CTDT-VGT-KIT is designed for the 6.7L Cummins engine with the factory VGT (Variable Geometry Turbocharger) configuration, as found in 2007-2018 Dodge Ram and RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks.

The fittings included in the FPE-CTDT-VGT-KIT are anodized aluminum with O-ring seals. The anodized finish resists corrosion from oil and heat, and the O-ring seals provide a leak-free connection that outperforms the factory friction-fit plastic fittings.

Yes. The FPE-CTDT-VGT-KIT includes the silicone drain hose, anodized aluminum fittings, O-ring seals, and all hardware required for installation. No additional components need to be purchased separately to complete the installation.

Installation Instructions

1. Allow the engine to cool completely before working on the turbocharger drain circuit.
2. Place a drain pan under the turbocharger to catch residual oil from the drain tube.
3. Remove the factory rubber drain tube by loosening the clamps or releasing the push-fit connections at each end.
4. Remove and discard the factory plastic fittings if they are separate from the hose.
5. Install the FPE-CTDT-VGT-KIT anodized aluminum fittings with the included O-rings at the turbocharger drain outlet and at the block drain port.
6. Slide the silicone hose over both fittings and secure with the included hardware.
7. Verify the hose has no sharp bends that would restrict oil drainage.
8. Start the engine and inspect the drain circuit for any oil seepage before putting the truck into service.
