Prolonged exposure causes electrical resistance failure, terminal post degradation, and broken internal heating elements. When this element fails open or loses conductivity, the engine experiences extended cranking, unburned fuel wash, rough cold idling, and failure to trigger clean compression ignition in sub-freezing ambient temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured to OEM dimensional tolerances, this direct-replacement grid heater utilizes a high-efficiency resistive metal heating element secured in a rigid stamped-metal housing. The unit features standard single-side terminal orientation to integrate seamlessly into the factory wiring harness without harness modification. Included dual high-density composite intake gaskets seal the heater block against the intake horn and plenum face, completely preventing boost leaks and particulate ingestion under high manifold pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Air Intake Heater (Grid Heater Element)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Mating Intake Gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2011-2019 Ram 2500, 3500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6.7L Cummins ISB\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eDJ\/D2\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e350-385 hp \/ 800-900 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3970001\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e4948124\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011-2019 Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011-2019 Ram 3500 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the DJ\/D2 2500, 3500?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2011-2019 Ram 2500, 3500 equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e6.7L Cummins ISB\u003c\/strong\u003e engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I confirm compatibility with my existing wiring configuration?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerify that your factory element utilizes the non-relay configuration with both terminal studs situated on the same side prior to installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ram Heavy-Duty Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for severe duty cycles and commercial hauling, this grid heater assembly ensures dependable cold-start reliability in freezing conditions, protecting your diesel powertrain and keeping heavy payloads moving without hesitation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67576227528952,"sku":"DS-EHWVNHYTO","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/air-intake-heater-for-ram-2500-ram-3500-2011-2019-6-7l-1.jpg?v=1791221452","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/air-intake-heater-for-ram-2500-ram-3500-2011-2019-6-7l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
