We list exact costs at check-in so you know what you’ll pay before work begins; pricing varies with part choice and labor. For the 2020 Ram 3500 we use filters specified for the 6.4L V8 and include inspection of intake components as part of the service. Call or stop by for a current written estimate.

• Up-front, written pricing provided at service check-in
• OEM-spec filter options available for the 6.4L V8

Check the 2020 Ram 3500 owner’s manual for the OEM engine air filter interval, and adjust more often in dusty Utah conditions.

The official interval in the manual is the baseline; Sandy’s seasonal dust, construction activity and canyon commutes can increase how quickly filters load. If you tow frequently or drive on unpaved roads near the Wasatch foothills, plan inspections more often than the baseline interval and have a technician confirm filter condition during routine service visits.

• Follow the owner’s manual for the OEM-recommended interval
• Inspect sooner after heavy dust, towing, or frequent canyon use
• Include airbox and intake visual check during service visits

Refer to the 2020 Ram 3500 owner’s manual for the cabin filter interval and consider more frequent changes during high pollen or dusty months in Sandy, UT.

Pollen season in the Salt Lake Valley and local dust can clog the cabin filter more quickly than suburban driving alone. If occupants notice reduced HVAC airflow or seasonal allergies worsen after time on local roads, inspect or replace the cabin filter during a service visit to restore airflow and cabin air quality.

• Use the owner’s manual interval as the baseline
• Check the filter after long canyon trips or dusty construction routes
• Replace earlier if HVAC airflow or odor issues appear

The engine air filter on the 2020 Ram 3500 is located in the airbox within the engine bay, typically at the front or side of the engine compartment.

On the regular cab 2020 Ram 3500 you’ll find the airbox secured with clips or screws; the filter sits inside that housing. Technicians at our Sandy service center can open the intake housing, inspect the filter and check the intake ducting and MAF sensor for contamination during the same visit.

• Located inside the plastic airbox in the engine bay
• Accessible via clips or screws at the front/side of the compartment
• Service includes intake housing and MAF visual check

The engine air filter protects the 6.4L V8’s intake and combustion process; the cabin air filter protects passenger air delivered through the HVAC system.

The engine filter keeps dust and debris out of the intake stream to preserve power and fuel economy, while the cabin filter traps pollen, dust and odors to maintain interior air quality. Both are important for vehicle operation and comfort but sit in different systems and have different replacement access points.

• Engine filter: prevents debris entering combustion intake
• Cabin filter: filters HVAC air for occupants
• Replacement locations differ—engine bay vs. HVAC/glove box area

Common signs on a 2020 Ram 3500 include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy and weak HVAC airflow or a musty cabin odor.

For the 6.4L V8, a dirty engine filter can cause reduced throttle response and slight performance loss, especially when towing. A clogged cabin filter manifests as reduced vent flow, increased dust inside the cab, or odors when the HVAC runs. Technicians in Sandy will inspect both filters and advise replacement if performance or comfort is affected.

• Engine symptoms: reduced power and worse fuel economy
• Cabin symptoms: weak vents, dust in cabin, musty smells
• Inspect filters after heavy dust exposure or long towing trips

• Cabin filter: may require trim or glove-box removal
