2012 RAM 3500 Air Filter in Danvers, MA

The engine air filter sits inside a rectangular airbox on the passenger side of the engine bay, upstream of the intake tube.

This location makes inspection straightforward on the 2012 Ram 3500 with the 6.7L inline-six Cummins turbo-diesel. Pop the hood, identify the airbox housing, and release the clips or screws to access the filter. If you prefer professional service in Danvers, our Mopar technicians can inspect, replace, and reseal the housing correctly. You can also schedule service online.

• Passenger-side engine bay airbox
• Access via clips/screws on the housing lid
• Located before the intake tube and MAF/IAT sensors

The cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box within the HVAC intake area.

On many Ram trucks of this generation, access involves lowering or removing the glove box to reach the cabin filter slot and cover. If your truck was not originally equipped, a retrofit kit may be available. Our Danvers team can confirm presence, install the cover if needed, and fit an OEM-spec filter for clean airflow. Check availability or schedule an appointment.

• Access point: glove box area
• Remove small access door to slide filter in/out
• Retrofit options may exist if not factory-equipped

The engine air filter protects the 6.7L Cummins’ intake from dust before combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers.

These filters do different jobs in different locations. The engine filter sits in the airbox to safeguard turbo and engine components; the cabin filter sits behind the glove box to trap pollen and road dust for interior comfort. Both are serviceable items on your 2012 Ram 3500 in Danvers with OEM-spec parts.

Our air filter service for the 2012 Ram 3500 covers both performance and cabin comfort. Technicians begin with an engine air filter inspection, checking the airbox, lid seal, and fasteners before replacing the element with an OEM-spec Mopar filter. We then perform a visual intake and sensor check, including the MAF/IAT area, to confirm proper routing and that no debris bypassed the seal. For the cabin, we inspect behind the glove box, verify the presence of a filter slot or cover, and replace the cabin element if equipped or install the correct cover when applicable. We dispose of used filters responsibly and road-test for proper HVAC and intake behavior. You can review current service specials and schedule service online in minutes.
