How to prevent RAM Cummins 6.7L engine failure due to stock grid heater

Over time, a bolt in the 2007-current stock RAM 6.7L Cummins grid heater deteriorates, falls into the intake runner, and makes its way into cylinder #6. In many cases, it results in total engine failure. Many mechanics either aren't aware of the problem or do not take the engine apart to properly diagnose it. They simply replace the engine. Therefore, the problem persists. With the help of Protech Diesel Center in Kamloops, British Columbia, Gale Banks shows the problem close-up and reveals a cost-effective solution.
