Ram Air Filter service at Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson in Tucson, AZ Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
12 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Ram 1500?
The 2020 Ram 1500 engine air filter sits inside the airbox in the engine bay on the passenger side, just ahead of the firewall.
This airbox houses the panel-style filter that feeds clean air to the 3.6L V6 (305 hp/269 lb-ft) for optimal combustion. In Tucson’s dusty conditions, checking this box for debris matters. Our team at Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson can pop the lid, inspect the element, and reseal the housing to prevent unmetered air leaks.
- Passenger-side engine bay airbox with clip-on or screw-on lid
- Panel filter positioned before the intake tube and MAF area
- Quick visual check during any oil change or multi-point
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram 1500?
The 2020 Ram 1500 cabin air filter is located behind the glove box in the HVAC case.
Access typically involves lowering or removing the glove box to reach the rectangular filter door. This filter cleans incoming air for you and your passengers, reducing dust and pollen—especially useful during Tucson’s windy, high-pollen months. Our technicians can swap it quickly and ensure the access panel seals correctly to avoid bypass.
- Behind-glove-box access panel to HVAC housing
- Rectangular particle filter oriented with airflow arrows
- Good time to sanitize ducts if odors are present
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram 1500?
The engine filter protects combustion air for the 3.6L V6, while the cabin filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.
Under-hood filtration safeguards performance, fuel economy, and sensor health by stopping dust before it reaches the intake. The interior cabin filter traps dust, pollen, and debris before air flows through the vents. In Tucson, both encounter fine dust; keeping each clean preserves throttle response and clear, odor-free airflow.
- Engine: panel filter in airbox feeding intake
- Cabin: HVAC filter behind glove box for interior air
- Different locations, materials, and service procedures
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Ram 1500?
Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors.
For the 3.6L V6, a restricted engine filter can dull throttle response and impact MPG on Tucsons highways. A dirty cabin filter often shows up as reduced vent output or lingering smells. Our multi-point inspection includes both filters so you can catch issues early.
- Engine: sluggish acceleration, possible intake noise
- Cabin: decreased airflow, haze on interior glass
- Visual: dark, debris-laden filter media
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Ram 1500 myself, or should Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson do it?
The engine filter is typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter requires glove-box access and is often easier at the dealer.
Most owners can open the engine airbox and swap the panel element. The cabin filter needs trim movement and careful sealing to avoid bypass. Our technicians install Mopar-spec filters, inspect the intake housing and MAF area, and dispose of the old filter properly, which many DIY jobs skip.
- DIY possible: engine airbox clips/screws, basic tools
- Dealer value: correct fit, sealing, and inspection
- Quick booking: schedule service
