Glacier Diesel Power 2007.5-2018 Dodge Ram 6.7L Cummins Boost Bolt | 1/8" NPT Boost Gauge Adapter
Description
Adding a boost gauge to your 6.7L Cummins shouldn't require drilling and tapping your intake manifold.
The Glacier Diesel Power 2007.5-2018 6.7L Cummins Boost Bolt replaces one of the factory intake manifold bolts with a precision-machined extended-length stainless steel boost bolt featuring an integrated 1/8-inch NPT pressure port. Designed specifically for the thicker 6.7L intake manifold, it provides a clean, factory-style location to connect a mechanical boost gauge, electronic pressure sender, or data logging system without permanently modifying your engine.
Whether your truck is stock, tuned, towing heavy, or equipped with aftermarket turbochargers, this boost bolt delivers an accurate intake manifold pressure source while maintaining a simple bolt-on installation.
Features
- Precision-machined stainless steel construction
- Extended-length design for 6.7L Cummins intake manifolds
- Integrated 1/8-inch NPT pressure port
- Direct replacement for a factory intake manifold bolt
- No drilling or tapping required
- Compatible with mechanical boost gauges
- Compatible with electronic pressure senders
- Corrosion-resistant construction
- Simple bolt-on installation
Why Monitor Boost Pressure?
Boost pressure is one of the most useful measurements on any turbocharged diesel engine.
Monitoring boost pressure helps verify that your turbocharger and charge air system are operating as intended while making it easier to diagnose problems before they become expensive repairs.
A boost gauge can help identify:
- Boost leaks
- Loose intercooler boots
- Charge air cooler leaks
- Turbocharger performance issues
- Underboost conditions
- Overboost conditions on modified trucks
- Restrictions within the intake system
Whether you're towing a trailer, daily driving, or making performance upgrades, monitoring boost pressure gives you valuable information about how efficiently your engine is producing power.
Why Use a Boost Bolt?
Traditional boost gauge installations often require drilling and tapping the intake manifold to create a pressure source.
A boost bolt eliminates that extra work by replacing an existing intake manifold bolt with one that already contains a threaded pressure port. Installation takes only a few minutes, requires no permanent modifications, and provides an accurate manifold pressure signal directly from the intake. The 6.7L version uses an extended-length bolt specifically designed to fit the factory 6.7L intake manifold correctly.
It's one of the easiest and cleanest ways to install a boost gauge on a 6.7L Cummins.
Turbo Tech Tip
A turbocharger can only produce power if the engine receives the air it's compressing.
If a charge air boot, intercooler, or intake connection develops a leak, boost pressure at the intake manifold will drop—even if the turbocharger is still spinning normally. Monitoring boost pressure allows you to catch these issues early before they affect towing performance, fuel economy, or overall drivability.
Common Uses
- Mechanical boost gauge installations
- Electronic boost pressure sender installations
- Digital display systems
- Turbocharger diagnostics
- Data logging
- Performance tuning
- Towing applications
- Custom diesel builds
Applications
- 2007.5-2018 Dodge Ram 2500
- 2007.5-2018 Dodge Ram 3500
- 6.7L Cummins Diesel
- Stock and most aftermarket intake manifolds utilizing the factory boost bolt location
Important Notes
- Fits 2007.5-2018 Dodge Ram 6.7L Cummins applications.
- Features an integrated 1/8-inch NPT threaded pressure port.
- Designed specifically with an extended-length bolt for 6.7L intake manifold applications.
- Compatible with most mechanical boost gauges and electronic pressure senders.
- Apply thread sealant only to the 1/8-inch NPT fitting. Do not apply thread sealant to the boost bolt threads unless specified by the manufacturer.
- Verify all connections are leak-free after installation.
