Frequently Asked Questions

11 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Ram 2500?

The engine air filter on a 2020 Ram 2500 sits inside the intake airbox in the engine bay.

Open the hood and look for the rectangular airbox connected to the intake ducting; that’s where the filter is housed. Our Danvers, MA service team can inspect the housing, duct seals, and intake path for debris or moisture intrusion—important for trucks used on job sites across the North Shore. Proper seating of the filter ensures consistent airflow and protects your 6.4L V8 from contaminants.

  • Located in the engine bay airbox
  • Connected to intake ducting ahead of the throttle body
  • Quick visual access for inspection and replacement
Where is the cabin air filter located on a 2020 Ram 2500?

The cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram 2500 is typically located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake path.

Most late-model Ram Heavy Duty trucks route the cabin filter behind the glove box, accessible after lowering or removing the glove box bin. Our technicians in Danvers can confirm your configuration, replace the filter, and check for leaves or debris in the cowl—useful after fall leaf season around Greater Boston. Correct installation ensures proper airflow and cabin air quality.

  • Behind glove box on most 2020 Ram 2500 models
  • Access may require trim-clips release
  • HVAC intake checked for debris and seal integrity
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram 2500?

The engine air filter protects the 6.4L V8’s intake air, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you breathe.

The engine filter sits in the intake airbox and prevents dust and grit from entering the combustion system, helping maintain power and throttle response. The cabin filter sits in the HVAC path to trap pollen, dust, and odors for comfort and health. In New England, seasonal pollen and winter road debris can affect both filters differently.

  • Engine filter = intake protection and performance
  • Cabin filter = HVAC airflow and cabin air quality
  • Different locations, different maintenance needs
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Ram 2500?

Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine), and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin).

On the 6.4L V8, a dirty engine filter can restrict airflow, making your truck feel sluggish under load or while towing. Inside the cab, a clogged cabin filter can cause noisy fans with little airflow, foggy windows, or allergy flare-ups. Our Danvers team can test-fit a fresh Mopar filter to compare airflow and confirm diagnosis.

  • Engine: sluggish acceleration, poorer MPG
  • Engine: darker, debris-laden filter media
  • Cabin: reduced airflow, dust, or odors from vents
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Ram 2500 myself, or should the dealer do it?

The engine filter is typically DIY-friendly; the cabin filter may require trim access and is often quicker at the dealership.

Many owners can swap the engine filter with basic tools, but you should still check for proper airbox sealing. The cabin filter on the 2020 Ram 2500 often sits behind the glove box and may need careful clip removal. Our Danvers service includes intake and MAF visual checks plus correct Mopar filter fitment.

  • DIY possible for engine filter with care
  • Cabin filter access may be finicky
  • Dealer adds inspections and OEM-spec parts
