Really strange, just left dealership for my lifetime free oilchange.. they popped the air filter door open and said there was no cabin air filter. It's a 2016 1500 sxt 5.7l
Anyone know what that is about? Tech said the door was in there. The housing for a filter is there. No cabin Air filter. The hell...
He figures do some research so i don't put one in there and have it ruin the system somehow.
Sounds to me like it could take a filter if the door and all that is there.
Anyone able to explain the mystery as to why they reused the cabin airfilter box in this model yet put no filter in it?
Costs less to build one mold for both filters, and non-filtered trucks. Why you have the door, and not the filter, that is a bit odd. Usually if they don't "knock out" the cover, you don't have the door, as the door is like $20 from Autozone. (Probably only about $1.23 to Stellaris/FCA, but...) Why you have the door, and no filter is really weird.
But a lot of places (IE Jiffylube/Firestone) don't know that SOME Rams have cabin filters, and some do not. I actually had one guy look into it for me, and said my truck didn't, only to find that it was seriously overdue for a change... Best guess? Someone knocked it out, then saw on the B.O.M. that you weren't supposed to get the upgrade... But had to cover the hole.
