Cold Air Intake for Dodge Ram (1998-2002) 5.9L Cummins Diesel Engine Black

Cold Air Intake for Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 (1998–2002) 5.9L Cummins Diesel

Unlock the massive power potential of the 24-valve 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel with this precision-engineered cold air intake system. Known as the backbone of the heavy-duty world, the 5.9L Cummins is famous for its legendary durability and pulling power, but it is often restricted by a factory air box designed for silence over performance. This upgrade replaces the restrictive stock assembly with a high-velocity induction path, allowing the turbo to breathe freely and delivering a boost in horsepower and torque by up to 10%.

By capturing cooler, denser air from outside the engine compartment, this system optimizes the combustion process across the entire powerband.¹ Drivers will notice a significant improvement in throttle response and smoother turbo spool-up, which is especially beneficial for towing heavy loads, hauling equipment, or navigating steep grades. The increased airflow efficiency also supports better fuel economy, ensuring your diesel operates at its most efficient level during long-distance highway cruising.

The system is constructed from premium T304 lightweight aluminum piping, providing a durable and heat-resistant channel for incoming air. Smooth internal surfaces help reduce airflow restriction compared to the factory setup, promoting consistent air delivery to the engine.² Under acceleration, the intake rewards the driver with a deep, sporty induction note and that distinct turbo whistle that highlights the engine's true strength without being intrusive.

Maintenance is simplified with the high-flow synthetic air filter. Engineered for superior filtration and maximum air volume, this filter protects the engine from dust and debris while allowing for a much higher air mass flow than standard paper filters. Because the filter is fully washable and reusable, it requires cleaning only every 50,000 miles under normal conditions, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to disposable components.

This intake system is designed as a direct-fit performance solution that installs in less than 60 minutes using basic hand tools. It utilizes factory mounting points for a secure, professional fit and is engineered to work within factory parameters, ensuring it functions seamlessly with your vehicle's existing setup.
