Air Filter change, what did u go with...

[RamHondo]

Has anyone changed their air filter? what did u use? OEM, performance?

 

[hksvr4]

I would stick with OEM.

 

[Rogues Gambit]

Usually KN, though CAI I'm gonna go w/AFE

Installed a Green Filter. Supposed to be pretty good. Couple of other car forums have been raving about them. Also removed the charcoal filter when I installed it.

K&N have never had an issue.

K&N 33-2247 perfect fit.

I went with a AEM dry filter. (#28-20247)

OEM filters do a better job at filtering particulates, there are a ton of studies out there that you can read, K&N's or other after market filters will sound better. I stick to the OEM, because im not racing to get work every day.

Do you have a 5th gen 1500? I was curious if the old filters fit?

A quick search of AEM's site revealed that the aforementioned #28-20247 filter also fits the 2018 and 2019 Ram trucks equipped with a 5.7L hemispherical engine.

I dropped in the K&N filter and thought it will help increase MPG but not so sure. I will give it some time and then drop the OEM back in and check it out again. I don't have any good data to compare with yet.

I am thinking about unhooking the battery to reset the system as others had suggested and allow the computer to relearn the new air/fuel mixture. Not sure if that will work either? Some have said it increased performance after they unplugged but there is not a lot of information on the subject.

I'd like to hear from others if they have done that.

I installed the complete K and N CAI in my 2017 and reset computer. When I am not heavy on the go pedal I picked up about a mile per galllon. I have run K and N CAI on every Ram I have owned since 1999. Never any issues, no dealership has ever said a thing when I have taken them in for any warranty or recall work. I even install them on my wife’s daily driver, no complaints.

Not sure an aftermarket air cleaner will make any significant performance difference on a basically stock motor, but on the Hemi, when you hit the go pedal with any authority you will hear it in the intake.

Good luck with you decision.

I have the K&N in, I have not noticed any increase in MPG.
From the OEM filter. Just a K&N Homer.

put in a K&N 33-2247 and left the charcoal filter in as well. First time seeing that set up in any of the Dodge's I have owned. My previous Charger didn't have one. Thought I would go ahead and save a pic for others that haven't opened up their air box to see what's inside. Averaged 18 MPG with OEM. Give it a week or two and post back mileage change if any. I also wasn't sure if I ought to remove the charcoal filter or not so I left it. Might be counter productive but we shall see.

I used a Fram Air Filter

Week later, so far no change in MPG, IF anything it went down due me having some fun with getting the exhaust.

I went back into the air box lid and removed that charcoal filter. To me it doesn't look like it would last much more then 25k. Then again I didn't research the maintenance schedule to see when they ought to get replaced. Very thin and flimsy filter. Popped right off taking a flat head and applying a little pressure, popped the melted down plastic rivet looking heads.

I don't mean to start a debate on the subject but I say save the money unless your in a dirty, dusty, Smokey environment and go thru filters frequently. The stock intake to the box and how they routed it to the front to grab fresh air looks like a pretty decent set up.

I like those too...

There is a 0.05% increase in fuel mileage if you place their decal on the back window.

Exact same in mine and my wife’s 19 Big Horn Sport.

I went with the AFE momentum CAI and I gained one mile per gallon easy. She definitely pulls harder up top and sounds real good and has a slight whistle if you hit a sweet in the throttle that makes the truck sound like it’s turbocharged. I use shell or mobile 89 octane and I have 3.92 gearing on my 2019 Laramie
