2018 RAM 3500 Air Filter in Danvers, MA

The 2018 Ram 3500’s engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox in the engine bay, typically on the passenger side near the intake ducting.

This location allows quick access for inspection and replacement without disturbing other components. For the 5.7L HEMI V8, the panel-style filter is housed under a clipped or bolted cover. Our Danvers, MA team checks sealing surfaces and intake routing to ensure proper fit and airflow after service.

• Inspected during every air intake visual at our Danvers service lane

The engine air filter protects the 5.7L HEMI’s intake from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you breathe inside the truck.

On a 2018 Ram 3500, the engine filter supports performance and longevity by removing dust before it reaches the throttle body and cylinders. The cabin filter, typically positioned in the HVAC pathway, helps reduce pollen and road particulates in the cabin—useful across New England’s varied seasons.

• Engine filter: combustion air quality and MAF/throttle protection
• Cabin filter: passenger comfort and HVAC cleanliness
• Both are checked and documented during our filter service

Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, and a rougher idle for the engine filter; weak airflow and musty odors for the cabin filter.

On the 2018 Ram 3500’s 5.7L HEMI V8, restricted intake can dull throttle response and raise fuel consumption. Inside the cab, a saturated filter can force the blower to work harder and recirculate odors. If you notice these symptoms, schedule an inspection in Danvers so we can confirm the cause and replace only what’s needed.

• Cabin: diminished vent output and lingering smells
• Quick checks available via our schedule service tool

The engine air filter is generally DIY-friendly, while dealer service ensures correct Mopar spec, housing seals, and intake/MAF inspections.

Most owners can open the Ram 3500 airbox and swap the panel filter, but it’s easy to pinch seals or mis-seat covers.

We also check the cabin air filter for dust, pollen, and odors, and replace it to OEM spec when required.

Before closing out, the technician performs a visual check of the MAF/throttle body area, confirming there’s no contamination or leaks that could affect drivability.
