Frequently Asked Questions

11 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Ram 3500?

The 2020 Ram 3500 engine air filter sits inside the airbox in the engine bay, typically along the fender side for easy access.

This airbox feeds clean air to the 6.4L V8 intake to protect combustion and performance. During service in Millbury, our technicians release the airbox clips, remove the old element, and inspect the housing seal. For cabin filtration, many late-model Ram trucks position the cabin filter behind or beneath the glove box area.

  • Engine air filter: airbox in the engine compartment
  • Airbox opened by clips or screws for element access
  • Cabin filter: typically behind/below the glove box on late-model Rams
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram 3500?

The engine air filter protects the 6.4L V8 intake from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you and your passengers breathe.

The engine filter safeguards power and efficiency by keeping dust out of the throttle body and intake tract. The cabin filter traps pollen and fine particles before air reaches the vents. Both are serviceable items on a 2020 Ram 3500, and we install Mopar-spec filters at our Millbury facility.

  • Engine filter: performance and engine protection
  • Cabin filter: interior air quality and HVAC performance
  • Both are periodic maintenance items with simple access points
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Ram 3500?

Three common signs are reduced power, lower fuel economy, and a rough idle for the engine; plus weak airflow or musty odors from the cabin vents.

On a 2020 Ram 3500, a dirty engine filter can limit airflow to the 6.4L V8 and upset the air/fuel balance. A clogged cabin filter restricts HVAC flow and can carry odor-causing contaminants. Our Millbury team can inspect both filters during a single visit.

  • Engine: sluggish acceleration and possible throttle response lag
  • Engine: unexpected MPG drop on your usual Millbury/Worcester routes
  • Cabin: reduced fan output or persistent dusty/musty smell
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Ram 3500 myself, or should the dealer do it?

Yes the engine filter is typically DIY-friendly, while dealer service ensures OEM-spec parts and a full intake/HVAC check.

Many owners can access the engine airbox and swap the element using basic tools. The cabin filter may require glove box removal and careful handling of trim pieces. At Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Millbury, we use Mopar filters and check sealing surfaces to prevent unfiltered air bypass.

  • DIY: engine filter accessible via airbox clips/screws
  • Dealer: verifies fitment, housing seals, and MAF area condition
  • Cabin filter: trim/glove box steps vary by configuration

Where is the cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram 3500?

On many late-model Ram trucks, the cabin air filter is positioned behind or beneath the glove box within the HVAC housing.

Access typically involves lowering or removing the glove box and releasing a small access panel. If your 2020 Ram 3500 is equipped, our Millbury service team can confirm location, inspect the element, and replace it with a Mopar filter to restore airflow and cabin air quality.

  • Glove box area: common access point for the cabin filter
  • Small rectangular access door secures the element
  • We verify configuration and fitment during inspection
What are the symptoms of a dirty cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram 3500 in Worcester County?

Expect weaker A/C or heat airflow, increased fan noise, and possible dusty or musty odors from the vents.

Driving around Worcester, Auburn, and Grafton can load the cabin filter with road dust and seasonal debris. On a 2020 Ram 3500, a congested cabin filter restricts HVAC performance and comfort. Replacing it helps restore clear airflow through the vents.

  • Reduced vent output even at higher fan speeds
  • Earthy or stale smells when the blower starts
  • Finer dust settling on interior surfaces after drives
