🔍 The Issue: Stock Grid Heater Failure

For Ram trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins (2007.5–2024), the factory grid heater has a well-documented failure mode:
The grid heater bolt/nut assembly can loosen, melt, or break over time and drop into the intake runner.
In many cases, it gets pulled directly into cylinder #6, causing catastrophic internal damage.
Failures can result in bent valves, damaged pistons, cracked heads — even complete engine replacement.
Diagnostic trouble codes like P2609 and P0542 are common early warnings.
Once failure occurs, owners face major downtime and extremely costly repairs.
This is not a “maybe someday” issue — it’s a known weak point.
