How to Install Airaid MXP Series Cold Air Intake w/ SynthaFlow Oiled Filter on your Ram

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable! Locate the temperature sensor on the air intake tube. Slide the red tab, squeeze the black tab on the electrical connector, and then disconnect the temperature sensor wiring harness. Now carefully, remove the sensor from the tube using a slow circular motion. Save the sensor for reinstallation later. Disconnect the crankcase breather tube from the air filter box. Loosen one hose clamp at each end of the air intake tube and remove it from the vehicle.

2. Lift up the front of the engine beauty cover, and then pull it towards you to remove it from the vehicle. It is only held in position by rubber grommets.

3. Using a 13mm socket, remove the two bolts that hold the air cleaner mount to the inside right fender. Save them for reinstallation in step #10.

4. Rock the airbox back and forth as you are lifting it straight up to remove it from the vehicle. It is only held in by grommets.

5. Remove and save three grommets from the bottom of the factory airbox. They will be reused in step #6.

6. Install the three grommets removed in step #5 into the bottom of the Airaid Cool Air Box (CAB) (#3) at the locations shown here.

7. Install the adapter gasket (#19) and filter adapter (#6) into the CAB using three 1/4-20 x 5/8” bolts (#9) and flat washers (#10) as shown. Refer to the line drawing above for reference.

8. Install the 1/4” NPT x 1/2” barbed fitting (#17) into the filter adapter as shown.

9. Install the air scoop panel (#20) onto the scoop of the CAB using two #8 x 3/8” self tapping screws (#21) as shown.

10. Install the CAB into the vehicle by aligning the grommets over the locating pins on the factory airbox mount. Reinstall the factory bolts into the fender that were removed in step #3.

11. Remove the factory hard plastic breather tube from the rubber elbow behind the oil filler neck and then install the supplied 1/2” x 3/4” plastic reducing coupler (#18), into the factory rubber elbow as shown. Next, connect the supplied 1/2” x 22” hose (#7) to the coupler.

12. Install the supplied 1/2” x 1/2” plastic coupler (#16) into the 1/2” hose from step #11. Next connect the 1/2” rubber elbow (#15) between the 1/2” connector and the barbed fitting on the filter adapter.

13. Reinstall the factory beauty cover making sure that the grommets are aligned with the grommet posts and that the crankcase breather hose is aligned in the slot on the side of the cover.

14. A.) Install the supplied hump hose (#5) onto the filter adapter using one #60 hose clamp (#12) and one #64 hose clamp (#13). B.) Install the reducing coupler (#4) onto the throttlebody using one #52 hose clamp (#11) and one #60 hose clamp (#12). Leave the clamps loose for now.

15. Install the supplied grommet (#14) into the hole in the Airaid Intake tube(#2). Next carefully install the factory intake air temperature sensor into the grommet

16. Install the Airaid Intake tube into the hump hose first, and then into the coupler on the throttlebody. Tighten all four hose clamps, and then reconnect the intake air temperature sensor wiring harness.

17. Install the Airaid Premium Filter (#1) onto the filter adapter and tighten the clamp. Next install the weather strip (#8) on the top of the CAB as shown. (Hint: Start at one end of the CAB and work your way towards the other end.)
