A Cold Air Intake System relocates the Filter outside of the engine compartment to deliver the coolest air inlet temperatures possible. Cooler air carries more oxygen, which translates into a more intense explosion in the combustion chamber to create more horsepower and torque. But that's only part of the power equation. Tuning the inlet pipe in length and diameter to match the engine's resonance helps move more air to the cylinders (think of your engine as a big air pump), and this tuning allows us to deliver maximum power gains throughout the entire RPM range. With the 6.4L HEMI Cold Air Intake, your engine will experience improved airflow, enhanced combustion efficiency, and ultimately, a noticeable boost in overall performance.
2014–2018 Ram 2500 & 3500 6.4L HEMI Cold Air Intake FAQ
Q1: Will this cold air intake fit my 2014–2018 Ram 2500 with the 6.4L HEMI?
A1: Yes. This cold air intake kit is designed for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Ram 2500 trucks equipped with the factory 6.4L HEMI V8 gasoline engine. Before ordering, confirm the engine size on the underhood emissions label, vehicle build sheet, or VIN record. The truck should also retain its original intake layout, throttle body, sensors, and mounting locations.
Q2: Does this intake also fit a 2014–2018 Ram 3500 6.4L HEMI?
A2: Yes. The listed fitment includes 2014–2018 Ram 3500 models equipped with the 6.4L HEMI V8. Fitment is based on the gasoline 6.4L engine and compatible factory intake layout, not simply the Ram 3500 model name. Inspect the engine bay for previous modifications or non-factory components before installation.
Q3: Will this cold air intake fit a Ram 1500 with a 5.7L HEMI?
A3: No. This kit is specifically listed for Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks with the 6.4L HEMI V8. It is not confirmed for a Ram 1500 or the 5.7L HEMI. The intake tube diameter, throttle-body connection, sensor location, airbox area, mounting points, and engine calibration can differ, even when the engine bays look similar.
Q4: Will this intake fit a Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins diesel?
A4: No. The 6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel uses a completely different intake system from the naturally aspirated 6.4L HEMI gasoline engine. This kit should only be ordered for the 6.4L HEMI V8 application. Confirm the engine type before purchase because Ram Heavy Duty trucks were offered with both gasoline and diesel engines.
Q5: Is this intake compatible with a Ram Power Wagon?
A5: It may fit a 2014–2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon when the truck uses the factory 6.4L HEMI intake layout, but the product page lists fitment by model and engine rather than by trim package. Before ordering, compare the original airbox, intake routing, mounting points, auxiliary equipment, and underhood accessories with the product images. Aftermarket battery trays, snorkels, compressors, or other equipment may affect clearance.
Q6: How much horsepower can a 6.4L HEMI cold air intake add?
A6: The product page describes 5–15 horsepower as a typical potential range for a cold air intake, but this is not a guaranteed gain on every Ram 2500 or 3500. Actual results depend on engine condition, intake-air temperature, fuel quality, ECU behavior, exhaust restriction, elevation, testing method, and supporting modifications. On a stock truck, the increased induction sound and sharper mid-range response may be more noticeable than the peak dyno number.
Q7: Does this Ram 2500 6.4 HEMI cold air intake require a tune?
A7: A custom tune is not normally required simply to install a correctly fitted intake on an otherwise stock 6.4L HEMI. The factory engine controller can make limited fuel adjustments during normal operation. Tuning may provide additional optimization when the intake is combined with headers, exhaust upgrades, a larger throttle body, a camshaft, or other major airflow changes. A tune should never be used to hide an intake leak or incorrectly installed sensor.
Q8: Will this intake improve throttle response or towing performance?
A8: The less restrictive intake tube and high-flow filter are designed to improve airflow and mid-range throttle response. That may make the engine feel more responsive when merging, passing, climbing a grade, or accelerating with a trailer. However, the intake does not increase the truck’s certified towing or payload ratings. Always follow the manufacturer’s limits for axle weight, hitch capacity, cooling, tires, and gross combined weight.
Q9: Will a cold air intake improve fuel economy on a 6.4 HEMI Ram 2500?
A9: A fuel-economy increase is not guaranteed. Real-world MPG is influenced heavily by truck weight, tire size, axle ratio, towing load, terrain, speed, wind, idle time, and throttle use. Some owners report little or no measurable change. The louder intake sound can also encourage harder acceleration, which may cancel out any small efficiency benefit from reduced airflow restriction.
Q10: What will this intake sound like on a 6.4L HEMI?
A10: Expect a deeper and more aggressive induction growl when the throttle is opened, especially during mid-range and wide-open acceleration. At a steady cruising speed, the sound should be less pronounced. The intake amplifies airflow and throttle-body noise from the engine bay; it does not create the same rear exhaust note as a muffler, cat-back system, or headers.
Q11: Can this cold air intake cause a check engine light or rough idle?
A11: A correctly installed intake should not automatically cause a check engine light. Common installation-related problems include a loose coupler, an unsealed intake connection, a disconnected breather hose, damaged sensor wiring, an incorrectly transferred sensor, or air entering where it should not. If the engine idles roughly, hesitates, or displays a warning light, inspect every connection and read the diagnostic trouble codes before replacing parts.
Q12: What parts and materials are included with the intake?
A12: The product uses polished aluminum intake piping, a heat shield, and a red washable and reusable performance air filter. It is designed as a direct replacement for the factory intake system using the supplied mounting components. Keep all factory hoses, sensors, clamps, grommets, fasteners, and intake parts until installation is complete and the truck has passed a full test drive.
Q13: Is this a direct bolt-on intake, and are installation instructions included?
A13: The product page describes the kit as a direct bolt-on replacement that does not require permanent vehicle modifications. However, printed installation instructions are not included, and professional installation is recommended. Before starting, photograph the factory hose and sensor routing. During installation, make sure the aluminum pipe and heat shield do not contact the hood, wiring, coolant hoses, fan, or other moving components.
Q14: Is this intake suitable for dusty roads, job sites, or water crossings?
A14: The reusable filter can be serviced after exposure to dust, but trucks operated on gravel roads, farms, construction sites, or trails should have the filter inspected more frequently. The heat shield is not a sealed snorkel and does not make the engine safe for deep-water crossings. Avoid water deep enough to reach the filter or intake opening because drawing water into a cylinder can cause severe engine damage.
Q15: How often should the reusable air filter be cleaned?
A15: Inspect the filter during routine maintenance and clean it whenever dirt buildup begins covering the filter media or restricting airflow. Service intervals will be shorter for trucks driven in dust, sand, mud, or heavy work-site conditions. Use a cleaning method suitable for the supplied filter, allow it to dry completely, and avoid applying excessive filter oil that could contaminate nearby sensors.
