GM Duramax LML - Grid Heater Throttle Valve Delete (2011-2016)
Type: Accessories
Eliminate intake restriction and restore smooth airflow. Designed for 2011–2016 6.6L Duramax LML trucks, this billet throttle valve delete replaces the factory grid heater throttle assembly that can restrict airflow—especially on tuned or modified setups. By removing this bottleneck, the intake path becomes more efficient, supporting improved throttle response and lower exhaust gas temperatures.
The factory throttle valve in LML Duramax applications can create unnecessary airflow restriction under load. This precision-machined billet aluminum replacement removes the stock valve assembly, allowing uninterrupted intake flow. Ideal for performance builds and tuned trucks, it’s a direct bolt-in upgrade that improves breathing efficiency without complicated modifications.
