Ram Air Filter service at Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Danvers in Danvers, MA Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van?
The engine air filter sits inside a rectangular airbox within the engine bay, secured by clips or screws for quick top-access.
This airbox channels fresh air to your 3.6L V6 before it reaches the intake. On the Promaster Window Van, you can open the housing by releasing the fasteners and lifting the cover to remove the filter. If you prefer professional service in Danvers, MA, our team can inspect and replace it using OEM-spec parts and proper sealing to prevent unmetered air.
- Top-access airbox with removable cover
- Fasteners: metal clips or screws, depending on build
- Seating lip must be evenly sealed after installation
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van?
The cabin air filter is typically accessed behind the glove box via a slide-out tray on the passenger side HVAC plenum.
Lower the glove box to reach the rectangular filter door and tray, then slide the old filter out and note airflow arrows for correct orientation. If your vehicle’s configuration differs, our technicians in Danvers can confirm location and install the correct Mopar-spec cabin filter to restore interior airflow and filtration.
- Access point: behind glove box on passenger side
- Tray-style insert with airflow direction arrows
- Replacement helps reduce dust, pollen, and odors
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van?
The engine air filter protects the V6 intake for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers.
Under the hood, the engine filter shields the 3.6L intake from dust that can affect performance and fuel economy. Inside, the cabin filter helps trap pollen and debris before air reaches the vents. Replacing both on schedule supports drivability and interior comfort—especially through New England’s pollen season and winter debris.
- Engine filter: performance and engine protection
- Cabin filter: HVAC airflow and air quality
- Separate locations, different media and purposes
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van?
Common signs include reduced power, rougher acceleration, lower fuel economy, weak HVAC airflow, and musty interior odors.
A dirty engine filter restricts intake air to the 3.6L V6, which can dull throttle response and mileage. A clogged cabin filter limits blower output and can allow odors to linger. If your Promaster Window Van works in dusty job sites around the North Shore, inspection is especially important after peak pollen or plowing seasons.
- Engine: sluggish response and possible rough idle
- Cabin: diminished vent flow and stale smell
- Visual check: darkened, debris-laden filter media
Can I replace the air filters on my 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van myself, or should the dealer do it?
Yes, many owners DIY the engine filter, but dealer service adds OEM-spec parts and intake/HVAC checks that DIY often skips.
The engine filter is usually a straightforward top-access job; the cabin filter may require removing stops to drop the glove box. At Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Danvers, technicians install Mopar-spec filters and inspect sealing surfaces, ducts, and sensor areas to prevent air leaks or noises.
- DIY-friendly engine filter; cabin access varies
- Dealer adds intake housing and MAF-area inspection
- OEM-spec filter fit helps avoid gaps and whistling

Can I drive my 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van without a cabin air filter?
Yes, the vehicle will run, but it’s not recommended because debris can enter the HVAC and reduce airflow or cause odors.
The cabin filter protects the blower and helps keep dust and pollen out of the vents—important for passenger comfort in a Window Van. Skipping it can increase interior dust and stress the blower motor. If yours is missing or saturated, replace it promptly to preserve HVAC performance.
