I have a 2014 Ram 3500 Big Horn. I watched several YouTube videos on replacement. I got the glove compartment out, no problem. The tabs on either side that hold the long filter cartridge cover in won't budge. I tried pushing them every direction, and used a screwdriver for leverage, they won't budge. And the cover does not have any writing on it. I am thinking my year class is different. Any suggestions?

You probably don't have a cabin filter in your 14 unless you've added it.They didn't start installing a cabin filter in the trucks till i think either 17 or 18.You can add it though,do a search on here for a howto.

I was going to order a filter for mine from amazon and they all seem to come with a replacement cover, which I think is for older models to use.
You might find some info there from others who bought.

The cover should look like this !
The blower box will have a outline of the cover ! You Tub and here have several videos on the Mod.
So a picture of your blower box would help. I had to cut mine out on my 2015 and as mentioned probaly the 2014 needs to be cut out as well !

They began installing the Cabin Air Filter in early 2016
My 2016 Ram is a December 18 2015 build

I had the dealership cut the plastic & install the charcoal filter kit, that i bought from Geno's Garage


2009 - 2018 cabs are the same

You don't need a cover. The filter goes in very tight.

If you really think you need something - put some duct tape over the filter.

Aha! That's why it won't release! The dealer noted that it needed to be changed on a recent visit. I will ask him about that.

Thanks.

It is probably time to find a better mechanic ,if the dealer can’t tell if it has a filter or not . This would be my last visit to them.
