Frequently Asked Questions

11 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2016 Ram 3500?

The engine air filter sits inside the airbox within the engine bay, ahead of the intake tubing.

On the 2016 Ram 3500 V8 (5.7L), the airbox is easily accessible once the hood is open, allowing quick inspection and replacement. This location keeps debris out of the intake and protects the mass airflow pathway. Visit Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Danvers for an OEM-spec fit and a clean housing check.

  • Engine bay airbox houses the filter element
  • Secured by clips or screws for service access
  • Positioned before the intake ducting to the throttle body
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2016 Ram 3500?

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

This position lets the filter trap pollen and fine dust before air enters your 2016 Ram 3500’s cabin. Access often requires lowering or removing the glove box and a small service panel. Our Danvers team can confirm your configuration and install an OEM-spec element that fits properly.

  • Behind-glove-box access on most configurations
  • Protects HVAC evaporator and interior air quality
  • Panel cover retains the filter in the HVAC plenum
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2016 Ram 3500?

The engine air filter protects the V8 intake from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans the air you breathe through the HVAC system.

Your 2016 Ram 3500s engine filter guards combustion efficiency and sensor health; the cabin filter targets passenger comfort and odor reduction. Both are essential for performance and wellness, but they serve different airflow paths. Herb Chambers in Danvers installs Mopar-spec filters for correct fit and sealing.

  • Engine filter = intake protection for the 5.7L V8
  • Cabin filter = interior air quality via HVAC
  • Different locations, service intervals, and materials
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2016 Ram 3500?

Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors.

On the 2016 Ram 3500, a dirty engine filter can restrict intake, while a clogged cabin filter can strain the blower and degrade defrost performance. If you tow or drive dusty routes, these symptoms may appear sooner. Our Danvers service team can check both filters and the intake housing during your visit.

  • Engine: sluggish acceleration or poor MPG
  • Cabin: weak vents, haze on glass, stale smell
  • Visible debris or darkened filter media
Can I replace the air filter on my 2016 Ram 3500 myself, or should the dealer do it?

The engine filter is generally DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter often needs glove-box access and trim clips best handled by a technician.

For your 2016 Ram 3500, DIY engine filter swaps are straightforward if you follow the airbox procedure and seal the lid correctly. Dealer service adds an intake/MAF visual inspection and verifies Mopar-spec media. If the cabin panel is tight or brittle, our technicians can avoid clip damage.

  • DIY possible: engine air filter with basic tools
  • Cabin filter: confined space and panel removal
  • Dealer adds OEM fitment check and housing inspection
