Cold Air Intake with Heat Shield for 2014-2018 Ram 2500/3500 6.4L V8

Unleash HEMI Power for Serious Work

Imagine hooking up your heaviest trailer and feeling your Ram pull the grade with newfound authority—smooth, progressive power that makes challenging towing situations manageable instead of stressful. Picture merging onto the highway with a full payload, accelerating confidently instead of struggling to reach speed. Hear that deeper, more aggressive HEMI rumble that announces your truck means business. These improvements transform how your Ram performs during the work it was built to do—and it all starts with letting your 6.4L HEMI breathe the way Mopar engineers intended before cost constraints and emissions regulations forced compromises.

Your factory air intake prioritizes quiet operation and manufacturing cost over performance. The restrictive airbox draws hot air from the crowded engine bay while limiting flow with undersized tubing and a minimal paper filter. Our cold air intake system with integrated heat shield eliminates every one of these compromises, feeding your HEMI cool, dense air through precision-engineered T304 aluminum piping—unlocking up to 10% more horsepower and torque that transforms towing capability, acceleration, and overall performance.

The Heat Shield Advantage for Heavy-Duty Performance

Here's what separates a true cold air intake from cheaper alternatives: temperature management. Heavy-duty truck engine bays generate tremendous heat—especially when towing heavy trailers or working hard. That heat reduces air density and robs your engine of power exactly when you need it most. The integrated heat shield creates a protective barrier that isolates your intake filter from engine heat, ensuring your HEMI draws cooler ambient air rather than power-sapping hot air from the engine compartment.

Cooler air is denser air, containing more oxygen molecules per intake stroke. More oxygen supports more complete combustion, which translates directly to increased horsepower, improved towing capability, and better overall efficiency. It's basic physics working in your favor—and the heat shield makes all the difference between moderate gains and genuine performance transformation, especially under load.

HEMI Power Meets HD Capability

The 6.4L HEMI V8 in your Ram HD is a legendary powerplant—a modern evolution of Chrysler's iconic engine family that's been dominating American roads for decades. This sophisticated V8 features variable valve timing, cylinder deactivation for efficiency, and robust construction designed for sustained heavy-duty use. It responds beautifully to improved breathing, delivering measurable gains that make every aspect of truck ownership more capable.

You'll notice the improvements most during the demanding situations HD truck owners face regularly: towing trailers up mountain grades, hauling maximum payloads from the supply yard, merging onto highways with equipment aboard, or simply enjoying the effortless acceleration that makes daily driving more pleasant. The enhanced mid-range torque—where heavy-duty trucks do their work—transforms capability from adequate to impressive.

Engineered for Demanding Work

Ram 2500 and 3500 owners depend on their trucks for serious work—construction, ranching, towing heavy equipment, hauling materials, and countless other demanding applications. This cold air intake is engineered for that reality. The T304 aluminum construction withstands the punishment of job site vibration, temperature extremes, and the corrosive effects of road salt and harsh environments that destroy cheaper alternatives.

The washable filter maintains consistent performance even in dusty, dirty conditions that clog factory paper filters. Whether you're working on construction sites, operating in agricultural environments, or towing through dusty backroads, this intake system continues delivering optimal airflow and engine protection mile after mile, year after year.

The Sound of Serious Power

There's something deeply satisfying about a proper HEMI V8 at work—and your intake system should add to that experience. Our cold air intake with heat shield creates a deeper, more aggressive intake note that grows progressively with engine load and RPMs. It's muscular and purposeful, particularly rewarding when towing or accelerating hard, yet civilized enough for highway cruising and around-town driving.

The enhanced sound provides satisfying audible feedback that connects you to your engine's performance—you'll hear your HEMI working to move serious weight, making the driving experience more engaging without being loud enough to annoy passengers or draw unwanted attention.

Installation Made Straightforward

Transform your Ram HD's performance in your own driveway in less than an hour. This complete bolt-on kit requires only basic hand tools—socket wrenches and screwdrivers you likely already own. Remove your factory airbox assembly and install your new cold air intake with heat shield in its place. No cutting, no permanent modifications, completely reversible if needed.

YouTube offers numerous Ram HD-specific installation videos if you prefer visual guidance. The precision fitment ensures everything aligns with factory mounting points, making installation straightforward even for owners tackling their first performance modification. Save the labor costs and enjoy the satisfaction of upgrading your own truck.

Critical Post-Installation Reset:

After completing installation, disconnect your battery terminal for 30 seconds before reconnecting. This allows your engine control unit (ECU) to reset its adaptive memory and recalibrate for the increased airflow. Your sophisticated Ram computer will quickly optimize fuel delivery and ignition timing to maximize the performance benefits of your new intake.

Important: Always disconnect your battery before performing any engine work to prevent electrical damage or personal injury.

Universal Heavy-Duty Compatibility

Whether your Ram HD is equipped with the smooth-shifting automatic transmission or you prefer the control of the manual, this intake delivers identical performance benefits. Whether you're running a 2500 for heavy towing or a 3500 for maximum payload capability, the improvements apply equally. The 6.4L HEMI responds the same way regardless of transmission choice or truck configuration—with more power, better throttle response, and enhanced capability.

The Smart Investment for Working Trucks

Your Ram Heavy Duty represents a significant investment in capability—a truck built to handle serious work for years to come. This cold air intake enhances that investment by unlocking performance that makes every aspect of truck ownership more capable. The improved towing performance reduces engine strain and makes challenging grades manageable. The enhanced throttle response makes daily driving and maneuvering more pleasant. The long-term filter savings reduce ongoing maintenance costs.

It's one of the most cost-effective modifications available for HD trucks—delivering genuine improvements in the capabilities that matter most for work truck owners without the complexity or expense of superchargers, tuners, or exhaust systems.
