2020 Ram 2500 Air Filter

The engine air filter on the 2020 Ram 2500 sits in a rectangular housing in the engine bay, usually toward the front of the truck near the passenger-side fender.

On most 2020 Ram 2500 Crew Cab trucks the housing is a snap- or bolt-secured plastic box that feeds the intake tract; access is generally straightforward for inspection. If you frequently drive dusty Utah roads, that housing should be checked at each oil change. Our technicians at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy can inspect the housing and seal during filter service.

• Located in the engine bay, front area near passenger side
• Held by clips or a few bolts for quick access
• Inspect the housing and intake for debris during service

The cabin air filter on the 2020 Ram 2500 is typically located behind the glove box or under the passenger-side dash access panel.

Access usually requires lowering or removing the glove box door to reach the filter housing. Cabin filters trap pollen, dust and road contaminants that are common in Sandy’s spring and fall seasons; routine replacement helps HVAC airflow and inside-air quality. Our service team can remove interior trim carefully and replace the cabin filter to factory specification.

• Found behind the glove box or passenger dash panel
• Replacement often needs basic trim removal, not heavy disassembly
• Helps reduce pollen and dust entering the cabin in Utah seasons

The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion; the cabin air filter cleans air delivered to occupants through the HVAC system.

On a 2020 Ram 2500 the engine filter protects the engine and mass airflow sensor from dust and debris, preserving power and fuel economy. The cabin filter captures pollen, dust and road grime to protect passengers and HVAC components. Both filters are important for different systems and should be inspected on a schedule consistent with driving conditions in Sandy and the Wasatch Front.

• Engine filter protects combustion airflow and engine sensors
• Cabin filter protects HVAC airflow and in-cabin air quality
• Different housings and replacement procedures for each filter

Common signs include reduced engine power and fuel economy for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.

If your 2020 Ram 2500 shows sluggish acceleration, increased fuel use, or a rough idle, the engine air filter or related intake components should be inspected. If the HVAC blows weakly, emits odors, or the defogger performance declines, the cabin filter may be blocked — an issue that becomes more common in Sandy’s dusty and pollen-heavy months. Technicians can confirm causes with a visual inspection.

• Engine: reduced power, worse mpg, rough idle
• Cabin: weak airflow, stale or musty odors, reduced defogging
• Inspection detects dirt, tears or collapsed filter media

Yes—the engine air filter on a 2020 Ram 2500 is often DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter may require basic interior trim removal.

Many owners of the 2020 Ram 2500 handle engine filter swaps with common hand tools, but cabin filters can be tucked behind glove-box trim and are easier with experience. Dealer service adds an intake housing inspection, MAF visual check and OEM-spec parts to protect sensors and warranties. If you prefer an appointment, schedule service online.

• Engine filter: usually simple clip/bolt removal
• Cabin filter: may need glove box or panel removal
• Dealer service includes intake and MAF inspection

Follow the manufacturer’s recommended interval in your owner’s manual; adjust for local conditions like seasonal pollen and dusty roads around Sandy.

In Sandy and the surrounding South Valley, increased pollen and road dust can shorten the effective life of the cabin filter in a 2020 Ram 2500. Inspect the cabin filter annually if you drive primarily in-town, and inspect more frequently if you travel unpaved roads or through high-pollen seasons. Our technicians can inspect the filter and advise based on your driving patterns.

• Check owner’s manual for OEM interval guidance
• Inspect annually for typical local driving; more often for dusty routes
• Service techs will advise based on visual inspection

The 2020 Ram 2500 requires separate care for the engine intake and the cabin HVAC system; both are affected by Sandy’s dry summers, pollen seasons and winter road spray. We serve the tight-knit communities of Sandy, Draper and South Jordan and are centrally located in the Sandy Auto Mall off I-15 for easy access. Local driving (commutes to Silicon Slopes, trips to Little Cottonwood Canyon) influences how often filters should be checked: dusty canyon roads and fall pollen loads both accelerate loading.

Our shop documents filter condition and notes any intake or HVAC issues found during inspection so you get a clear record. If you prefer an appointment, schedule service online; for seasonal offers check our service specials.

Technicians note any abnormal debris or seal issues that could harm engine sensors or HVAC components.

We provide written inspection notes and up-front pricing for filter work; if additional repairs are needed we discuss options before proceeding. If you prefer to finance other recommended repairs, pre-approval options are available via our financing page. To book an appointment, schedule service.

The 2020 Ram 2500 uses a dedicated engine air filter sized for its 6.4L V8 intake and a separate cabin filter for the HVAC system. OEM filters are specified by the manufacturer for proper fit and filtration efficiency; technicians inspect both filter media and housings for tears, improper seating, or heavy contamination. Common issue callouts include debris in the intake housing after off-road use and loaded cabin filters after extended exposure to pollen or construction dust in the valley.

When replacement is recommended we use OEM-spec filters and proper sealing practices to protect sensors and HVAC components. Bring your 2020 Ram 2500 to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy in Sandy for OEM-spec filter service — schedule service.
