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 2020 Ram 1500 Classic?
The 2020 Ram 1500 Classic’s engine air filter sits inside a rectangular airbox in the engine bay, typically on the passenger-side fender.
This sealed housing feeds clean air to the 3.6L V6 intake on your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic. Release the airbox clips or screws, lift the cover, and the panel-style filter is right on top. Our Danvers, MA service team inspects the housing and ducting during replacement to ensure a proper seal and optimal airflow.
- Location: passenger-side engine bay airbox
- Access: clips or screws on the airbox lid
- Function: filters intake air for the 3.6L V6
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram 1500 Classic?
The cabin air filter (if equipped) is accessed behind the glove box in the HVAC intake area on the 2020 Ram 1500 Classic.
Many Ram trucks route the cabin filter behind the glove box; some 2020 Ram 1500 Classic models may require removing a small access panel. If your truck isn’t currently equipped, our team can check fitment options and advise on an OEM-style solution that improves in-cabin air quality for Danvers and North Shore driving.
- Typical access: behind glove box
- Area: HVAC intake slot with cover panel
- Benefit: reduces dust, pollen, and odors inside the cab
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram 1500 Classic?
The engine air filter protects the 3.6L V6 by cleaning intake air, while the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the HVAC system for passengers.
On your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic, the engine filter lives in the under-hood airbox and directly affects performance and fuel economy. The cabin filter (if equipped) sits in the HVAC ducting, reducing allergens and debris in the Crew Cab. Both filters support comfort and reliability on New England roads.
- Engine filter: performance and efficiency
- Cabin filter: occupant comfort and air quality
- Locations: engine bay vs. HVAC behind glove box
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Ram 1500 Classic?
Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, and a rough idle for the engine filter, and weak airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.
If your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic feels sluggish or the HVAC struggles to move air, a loaded filter may be the cause. Dusty worksites, coastal salt, and seasonal pollen around Danvers can accelerate restriction. Our technicians can inspect both filters and related ducts to confirm the issue.
- Engine: hesitation, poorer MPG, dirty filter media
- Cabin: weak vents, increased fogging, odors
- Visual: dark, debris-laden pleats
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Ram 1500 Classic myself, or should the dealer do it?
The engine filter is typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter (if equipped) may require trim access that’s easier for a technician.
Most 2020 Ram 1500 Classic owners can open the airbox and swap the engine filter with basic tools. Cabin filter access varies and benefits from careful panel handling. Dealer service adds OEM-spec Mopar parts, proper fitment checks, and an intake/MAF inspection for peace of mind.
- DIY: engine air filter via airbox lid
- Tech support: cabin filter access and panel care
- Added value: housing seal and MAF visual check
