What It Does & How It Helps

The intake grid heater is Cummins' cold-start aid — an electric heating element in the intake that warms incoming air so the engine fires cleanly and idles smoothly when it is cold. A failed element means hard cold starts and cold-start white smoke, and on the 6.7L the grid-heater bolt is a known failure and safety concern. A correct grid-heater element and hardware restore dependable cold starting.
