10 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2015 Ram 1500?
The engine air filter on the 2015 Ram 1500 sits inside the engine-bay airbox, typically on the passenger-side near the front of the engine compartment.
The filter lives in the sealed airbox that feeds the intake; accessing it usually requires releasing clips or a few bolts on the airbox cover. At our Sandy service center we inspect the housing for debris and check the intake tract for tears or loose clamps as part of a routine air filter check.
- Located in the engine bay airbox on the passenger side
- Access via airbox cover—clips or screws secure it
- Technician checks intake tract and MAF sensor when inspecting
Where is the cabin air filter located on a 2015 Ram 1500?
The cabin air filter for the 2015 Ram 1500 is typically installed behind the glove box in the HVAC plenum area.
Access normally requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the filter door, then sliding out the old filter. Our technicians in Sandy also inspect the blower motor housing and drain passages for leaves or rodent debris, common issues in the Salt Lake Valley.
- Located behind the glove box in the HVAC plenum
- Glove box removal or drop-down required for access
- Technician inspects blower housing and drain for debris
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2015 Ram 1500?
The engine air filter protects the engine's intake system and combustion process; the cabin air filter cleans incoming air for occupants and the HVAC system.
The engine air filter prevents dust and grit from entering the intake and affecting performance or the mass‑air sensor. The cabin filter removes pollen, dust and road particulate from air circulated into the passenger compartment. In Sandy’s seasonal pollen and dusty conditions both filters serve different systems and require separate inspection.
- Engine filter = protects combustion and intake components
- Cabin filter = filters HVAC air for passengers
- Both should be checked separately during service visits
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2015 Ram 1500?
Common signs include reduced engine power and acceleration, lower fuel economy, rough idle for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.
On the road, a clogged engine filter often shows as sluggish throttle response or an illuminated check‑engine light if the MAF goes out of expected range. A clogged cabin filter reduces cabin airflow, accelerates HVAC blower wear, and can cause odors during high pollen seasons in the Salt Lake Valley.
- Engine: reduced power, poorer MPG, rough idle
- Cabin: weak airflow, strange or musty HVAC odors
- Local conditions (dust, pollen) can accelerate clogging
Can I replace the air filter on my 2015 Ram 1500 myself, or should Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy do it?
The 2015 Ram 1500 engine air filter is generally a DIY-friendly job; the cabin filter can be more involved and some owners prefer dealer service for a full inspection.
Many owners change the engine air filter at home with basic hand tools and an appropriate OEM-spec replacement. The cabin filter on this truck typically needs glove-box removal and careful seating of the filter door. Choosing dealer service adds intake/MAF visual checks, correct OEM filter fitment and professional disposal.
- Engine filter: simple access in most cases for DIY
- Cabin filter: requires glove box removal; trickier fit
- Dealer service includes intake and MAF visual inspection

2015 Ram 1500 Air Filter Specifications
The 2015 Ram 1500 with the 3.6L V6 uses a dedicated engine air filter sized to fit the factory airbox and a separate cabin air filter designed for the HVAC plenum. OEM filters (Mopar-spec for Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram) match the manufacturer’s fit and filtration ratings. Because Sandy’s seasonal pollen, valley dust and canyon driving can load filters faster, visual inspections are recommended more frequently than in low-dust climates. Common callouts we look for are torn intake housings, collapsed pleats, or debris trapped near the MAF sensor that might skew readings.
