Great video - It should be noted that some (including my 2016 Ram) had a slot for a cabin air filter but did not ever cut the opening to slide a filter in. Hard to believe - believe it! You will need to cut an opening in the plastic (not easy) and then buy a cap to snap back over your filter once you slide it in.

Great video. Quick advice on what filter to buy; DON'T get the thick ones, they will shorten the life of your ac unit. The current false advertising that is running rampant is an N95 cabin filter. Don't fall for it. There is no vehicle that is sealed to make that useful except those that are designed for it. Such as a space shuttle or submarine or other similar purposed vehicle. Having the windows up doesn't mean your vehicle is sealed. You are always breathing outside air 100%. The purpose of the filter is because of the vacuum effect the ac unit causes, it intakes more air in such an isolated spot that it causes a vacuum and can suck up pollen, dust, leaves, grass particles, etc.. your face is no where near the filter therefore you are personally still breathing outside air as it's constantly coming in through various crevices, holes, openings that are natural in all vehicles. The more you limit the vacuum effect (by getting a thicker filter) the more harder the ac has to work. As some of you mentioned a lot, and I mean a lot of vehicles do not even have cabin filters, but the slot is there for that purpose should the car owner want to put one in. Just remember your breathing the same air that is outside no matter what size thickness you put in there. Just trying to help you save some $$$
My 15 1500 didn’t have this. I’m cutting the space and adding the filter. Found the kit on Amazon. Kind of a weird item to exclude up front. Using a brand new razor in a nice box knife. There are slots where the knife slides right in. I’m 6’2” so I’m laying across the front seat from the drivers side like I’m doing a photo shoot for some trucker mag. 😂
Just finished. There’s also a cable bunch on the far right (passenger side / outside) to watch out for. Shaved it clean carefully and put the filter in. Added the new door but had to really work to get the filter into the slot based on the angle needed in order to start it. It’s not straight at all. Lol. Frustrating but now it’ll be easier to swap this out.
As luck would have it, here I am, 2 years later… not with my ‘15 1500, but now a ‘18 3500… same question as before and this video pops up in my search. Deja vu much? Hell yeah! My 18 came with the cabin filter though so no need to cut anything this time. Couldn’t remember how to get the lid piece off so thank you. Straight to the important stuff. Thanks again! Rock on man!
I have a 2015 ram 1500. Trying opening the cover using the tabs wont come out...brought to lube shop, they couldnt figure it out either. Having issues with defogging windows so i thought the filter might be the issue
Yes thank you so much for getting right to the point hate a 20 minute video that should have took 5 minutes because they want to show me there garden and wife if I wanted to see that I would have looked for that!! Thanks again!! Very helpful!
I was in Naples Chrysler Dodge (Naples FL) for a brake job on my RAM 3500 and they recommended the cabin air filter be replaced. Along with $6300 in other recommendations. Today I go to replace the filter myself, and the filter and cover are both missing. Now either they checked the filter, and forgot to put it back, or they didn’t check it at all. The truck is used, so maybe the previous owner? In any case, would you trust a dealership that did this? Not only that, but they charged roughly a 60% markup on the rotors and pads, and 120% markup on the calipers. I’m 2000 miles from home with no tools or place to work on it, so I was at their mercy. Not sure how some people look themselves in the mirror in the morning…
I watched your video and ordered the filter from Amazon. When I tried to install it I found there was no filter cover, it was sealed. So I watched another video, it told me I need to order a cover, and I need to cut it opened. So I did all that. The thing that surprise me the most was there was no filter at all in there originally.

Might add that the tabs on the side of the air filter cover snap off really easy. Both mine broke. Fortunately it still latches, just need to reach behind and pull them loose on the sides. 2020 RAM
2015 ram longhorn hemi . I've been told by 2 people . There is not a air filter to be replaced. Please clarify. In the owners manual no air cabin filter is mentioned.
My 2015 Big Horn 1500 does not have the filter cover door. You must purchase a filter kit that comes with the cover door. Then you have to cut out the filter cover to insert the filter. Use the heated razor knife blade to cut out the corner. See other u tubes to see how to do this!
I decided this is a good thing to do...so I was gonna check to see what kind of condition mine might be in... did as instructed... No filter in the hole...😲 no filter cap either. ... imma run to autozone...
Excellent video good clear voice nice close up video and no crappy music in the background. Got a laugh at the end of the video at put all your crap back in the glove.😁

2009 dodge ram 1500 does NOT have a cabin air filter. There is raised plastic outlining the were the slot would be but if you want one you have to cut the hole yourself. There are kits you can buy.
I have a 2016 Ram 1500 3.6 Diesel and after trying to find where the filter would be I started, Googling it.. This came up, "The 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 is part of a generation of trucks that are not equipped with a cabin air filter. Beginning in 2017, Dodge introduced the CAF to this model, and most current trucks are outfitted with one under the dashboard behind the glove compartment box or under the hood." Looks like I'll be taking back the air filter. lol Good video though.

My 16 outdoorsman doesn't (as I just found out for myself). But an outfit called genos garage has a kit to install one. It's just a filter and the cover shown here and you cut the opening in the box with a utility knife or dremel or... I'm going to try calling the dealer and see if I can just get the cover as I already bought a filter and don't feel like returning it.
@@johnathanbrown9192 If you're responding to me, yes, but they wanted like $24 or more when the whole kit from genos is $30 I think. So I'll probably forget the $24 door and return the $28 filter and go with the kit haha.
Doesn't exist on 2010 Ram 2500. Just a solid piece, nothing to unhook. Further research seems to indicate this truck does not come with a cabin filter.
I have a 2016 Ram 1500. Mine defies this video. Truck manufactured 03/16. There is no removable panel. Two broken plastic tabs later....no panel. Mine is flush mount, tabs to the side, one unreachable. No help at all.
I don't have that cover and I cannot find it in that location. In addition, I don't see the filter housing in that location. All I have is a void there with no filter attached. Any alternatives, maybe?
I have 2012 Ram and apparently they forgot about this trucks cabin filter. There’s no filter and I don’t even have the little cover on it. In fact it doesn’t even look like the space was cut out to slide the filter in.
Maybe its a different ducting system on my 2016,Ram Laramie,, Eco diesel,, dual temp?- but the opening is farther up and extremely difficult to slide a new one in compared to yours that is pretty much straight in,,what would work is to take the top box out first too..
So I didnt realize I had one in mine I do landscaping so we get dirty my ac wasn't blowing good. Holly crap that filter was completely trashed it was horrible
If you choose to get a higher quality filter make sure it has good seals, what good is a hepa or charcoal filter if air can get past. I want to drive past a dead skunk and not smell anything lol
@@goodwincustomization2493 ok thanks, might explain why it feels like my ac isn’t working as good as it did when I bought it. I have had it about 8 months.
Just so you know typical of Dodge some trucks like my 2015 doesn't have a filter where this gentleman is explaining the cover comes off there is no cover or opening so don't look any farther you won't find one

My 2013 doesnt have one either. Why would Dodge make something inaccessible like this.
That is a good question. Everything is there for the filter, you just need to cut the plastic out of the way.
