Ram Air Filter service at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy in Sandy, UT Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on the 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van?
The engine air filter is mounted in the engine bay inside a rectangular intake housing at the front of the 3.6L V6 intake system.
On the 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van the air filter sits inside a plastic housing that feeds the 3.6L V6 engine; it’s accessible from the engine bay without major disassembly. Local technicians in Sandy will remove the housing cover to inspect the filter, the intake snorkel, and the MAF sensor for contamination common after canyon runs or prolonged highway dust exposure.
- Located in the engine bay intake housing near the front.
- Accessible without removing major components on most Promaster layouts.
- Technicians inspect the housing and MAF when changing the element.
Where is the cabin air filter located on the 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van?
The cabin air filter is located behind the passenger-side glove box behind an access panel in the HVAC housing.
For the 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van the cabin filter is inside the HVAC plenum behind the glove box and requires glove-box trim removal for access. In Sandy’s seasonal-pollen months and during dusty summer commutes, the cabin filter can load quickly and reduce airflow to the passenger compartment; a quick inspection reveals pollen, dust, and debris buildup.
- Accessed from the passenger-side footwell after lowering the glove box.
- Protected by a small removal panel—no major dash disassembly required.
- Technicians check the HVAC housing and drain path when replacing it.
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on the 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van?
The engine air filter cleans intake air for the 3.6L V6 combustion system; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the vehicle’s HVAC system for passengers.
The engine filter protects the 3.6L V6 and downstream components like the MAF sensor, helping sustain the rated 280 horsepower and combustion efficiency. The cabin filter protects occupants from dust, pollen, and road debris, improving HVAC airflow and in-cabin air quality—especially important during Sandy’s pollen season and when driving on dusty side roads.
- Engine filter = protects combustion air and engine sensors (MAF).
- Cabin filter = protects passenger air inside the HVAC system.
- Both filters affect comfort and performance but serve different systems.
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van?
A clogged engine air filter can reduce the effective breathing of the 3.6L V6 (rated 280 hp), causing reduced acceleration and lower fuel efficiency, while a clogged cabin filter causes weak HVAC airflow and musty odors.
On the 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van look for sluggish throttle response under load, higher than normal highway fuel use, or a sooty filter element in the engine intake; for the cabin, watch for reduced vent flow, fogging windows, unusual odors, or increased pollen/dust complaints from passengers in Sandy and nearby communities.
- Engine symptoms: reduced acceleration and fuel economy, dirty filter visible on inspection.
- Cabin symptoms: weak HVAC airflow, musty odor, increased dust in the cabin.
- Environmental triggers: dusty roads, pollen season, and frequent canyon drives.
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van myself, or should Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy do it?
You can typically replace the engine air filter yourself with basic tools, but the cabin filter often needs glove-box trim removal and a careful HVAC inspection that a dealer performs.
DIY replacement of the engine air filter on a 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van is common and feasible for owners familiar with basic engine-bay work. The cabin element requires trim removal and a clean seating inspection; dealer service at LHM Sandy Jeep adds intake and MAF visual checks, proper disposal, and record-keeping useful for fleet or warranty documentation.
- Engine filter: usually a single cover and clips—DIY-friendly.
- Cabin filter: requires glove-box access and an access panel; more involved.
- Dealer adds intake/MAF inspection and service documentation for records.

What are common cabin filter issues on the 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van in Sandy, UT?
Common cabin filter issues include reduced HVAC airflow and pollen/dust buildup during Sandy’s spring pollen season and dusty summer conditions.
The 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van’s cabin filter can trap pollen, road dust, and small debris, which is amplified by local conditions around Sandy, Draper, and South Jordan. Regular inspections help avoid HVAC strain, interior fogging in winter, and trapped odors that affect passenger comfort during event traffic or canyon trips.
- Symptoms: reduced airflow, musty smells, faster dust accumulation inside the cabin.
- Triggers: spring pollen spikes and summer dust on local side roads.
- Resolution: timely replacement and HVAC cabin housing cleaning.
Should the dealer inspect the intake and MAF on my 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van when replacing filters?
Yes—the dealer inspects the intake housing and MAF sensor when replacing the engine air filter to verify proper airflow and sensor condition.
When the engine air filter is changed on a 2020 Ram Promaster Window Van, a visual MAF and intake-housing inspection identifies oil, debris, or damage that could affect performance of the 3.6L V6. Local driving in Sandy’s dusty conditions or repeated canyon runs increases the value of that added check to prevent drivability issues after filter replacement.
- Visual MAF inspection for contamination or oil residue.
- Intake housing check for cracks, loose clamps, and leaks.
- Notes recorded on the service order for fleet or resale records.
