K&N Air Intake under the hood of Dodge Ram 3500 Pickups

In the land of turbo-diesel motors for pickup trucks, Cummins motors are the elder statesmen, but that doesn't mean they're outdated by any means. The 6.7 liter inline-6 cylinder powerplant in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models produces a respectable 350 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque to the flywheel and benefits from the inherent balance of a straight-6 motor. Large amounts of horsepower and torque are the name of the game with these diesel pickup trucks and now, owners of 2007-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 6.7 liter diesel trucks can have an increase in horsepower, torque, and performance with the K&N 71-1557 Blackhawk Induction™ air intake system.

K&N Air Intake System for Dodge Ram 2500 & 3500 Pickups

The 71-1557 air intake utilizes an aluminum intake tube to help increase airflow to the turbo. A black powdercoating finish is applied to the tube to give the system a sleek look under the hood. The tube comes with a welded K&N engraved plate for just a touch of shine. The tube is also designed to accommodate the factory filter minder gauge if your truck has one. A lot of heat is generated under the hood, especially from the big turbocharger, so the 71-1557 comes with a heat shield to help keep inlet air temperatures cooler. A Black K&N RU-5177HBK air filter is fitted to the inlet of the intake tube, helping to provide excellent filtration efficiency without sacrificing airflow. The filter employs K&N's Dryflow synthetic filter media which doesn't require any oil. It's washable and reusable and can go for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions.
