Product Description
MOPAR 68253198AA THROTTLE CONTROL VALVE FOR 10-23 DODGE RAM WITH 6.7L CUMMINS ENGINE
Restore factory air intake performance and maintain proper diesel engine operation with the genuine Mopar 68253198AA Throttle Control Valve for 2010-2023 Dodge Ram and Ram trucks equipped with the powerful 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel engine. Engineered to strict OEM standards, this throttle valve assembly precisely regulates airflow entering the intake system to optimize engine efficiency, emissions performance, turbocharger response, and drivability.
The Mopar 68253198AA intake throttle valve, commonly referred to as the throttle body or air fuel throttle valve, is mounted to the intake horn and utilizes an electronically controlled butterfly valve to manage airflow during EGR operation, engine shutdown, and emissions control functions. Over time, soot buildup, oil contamination, and heat exposure can cause the factory valve to stick, bind, or fail, leading to poor throttle response, check engine lights, rough shutdown, and reduced engine performance.
Manufactured using OEM Mopar components and advanced electronic actuator technology, this direct-fit replacement throttle control valve restores proper intake airflow characteristics while maintaining full compatibility with factory Cummins emissions systems. Unlike lower-quality aftermarket alternatives, genuine Mopar throttle valves ensure correct calibration, electrical communication, and long-term reliability under demanding towing and heavy-duty operating conditions.
This OEM throttle valve replaces previous Mopar part numbers 68205987AA, 68210508AA, and 68253197AA while delivering factory-correct fitment and dependable Cummins diesel performance.
