I just did the cabin air filter today so far so good

Seems as if this mod shows up in every years truck threads. Here is the one for 2016. Many of the late builds in 2016 already have the door cut out from the factory with the door in place. I installed the K&N VF2013 because it looks to me like it has less air flow restrictions than the paper or paper/charcoal units and it is washable. I also think it will not do quite as good a job as the paper filters for removing the finest dust - a trade off.

My 2016 RAM QC Express was built on April 22 2016 and already has the cabin air filter door installed from the factory.:smileup:

What is the secret to fit in the floorboard and still have angle to be able to reach the door to cut it out?

Seat all the way back and I can only reach the far left side. Forget about the right side!

Great write up and thanks for the help. I will definitely be doing this!

Installed mine and notice the fan is quieter, didn't notice any air flow restriction. My 2016 was built in November 2015 so I had to install the door. Used a Dremel to cut the door, did not need to remove the fan. My kit had a Mann Filter MC1071 that fit perfect.

Very pleased with this mod - big THANK YOU to Brad for his contributions.

Just bought the supplies to do this -- killer mod!

Confirming that my '16 2500 came ready with the cutout and door; all I had to do was pickup a Fram filter at Walmart and put it in. Thanks for this thread, great mod.

I know its been said before but "Great write-up" even had some health hazard points.

I thank you for taking time out of your day to educate us. Nicely done!

Did this yesterday, took all of 20 minutes. That plastic is a PITA to cut in that confined space. Used a sharp utility knife to do it and still was a PITA. Door snaps in nice and tight, and filter from Dodge was a good fit as well.

Job done.

If i went to the dealer and asked for the door for a 2016/2017 would it be the same part number?

I went to the dealership and used these numbers... both were in stock and pretty cheap (from the OP's post).

p/n 05058693AA = Filter

p/n 68052292AA = Door

Both are Mopar part numbers.

 

[Rescue119]

Ya i just went in with those part numbers. 77cdn for door and filter. Oh well worth it. Once this hangover is gone im gonna go put it in.

 

[Rescue119]

So i got it put in but now when its on the 2 highest fan settings there is a loud hum. Almost like its to restrictive now that the filter is there. I do have a regular cab and i know the and is designed to oush air through a crew cab.

Anyone else have this issue? Maybe the oem filter is too resyrictive?

Tape the door shut with duct tape, seal it good and try it out.

it worked great

about 25 min a vehicle. ( my truck and my buddies truck) Right side of the cover did not want to snap in right away so iI " tapped it with a screwdriver and some loving words".

Thanks for the how to
