1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Cold Air Intake for 5.9L Cummins I6
This Flashark cold air intake replaces the restrictive factory airbox, paper filter, and intake snorkel on listed 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 5.9L Cummins I6 turbo-diesel trucks. Its dry cone filter sits inside a heat-shield enclosure that seals against the closed hood and draws air from the fender-well area; the factory tube from the turbo inlet to the airbox stays in place.

Key Features
- Heat-shield enclosure: The formed shield surrounds the filter, seals against the closed hood, and uses the fender-well area as its air source.
- Dry cone filter: The included red cone filter is washable and reusable without filter oil.
- Factory-tube connection: The supplied silicone coupler and stainless steel clamp connect the filter to the factory tube at the airbox end.

- Mounting hardware: A bracket, fasteners, and rubber edge trim are included for the heat-shield installation.
- Intake sound character: The page’s configuration is intended to make turbo spool and intake sound more noticeable under acceleration; sound perception varies by truck and setup.

Check Before Ordering

- Confirm the original intake layout: The factory tube from the turbo inlet to the airbox is retained; the airbox end connects to the included coupler and filter.

- Confirm local emissions rules: This kit has no CARB EO listed for this SKU. Not legal for sale or use in California (and other CARB-adopting states).
