Dodge Ram 5500 Parts & Accessories

Aftermarket parts and performance upgrades for the Dodge Ram 5500, the heaviest cab-chassis variant in the Ram commercial lineup produced under the Dodge brand through 2010. Built on the DJ/D2 medium-duty platform and powered primarily by the 6.7L Cummins diesel, the Ram 5500 is a vocational truck with specific upgrade needs focused on working performance.

Popular Upgrades

Cold air intake systems from S&B and aFe Power are the most popular first modification for the Ram 5500's 6.7L Cummins diesel, improving airflow and reducing intake restrictions that limit efficiency under load. MBRP and Flo-Pro exhaust systems designed for medium-duty Cummins applications improve exhaust flow and turbo spool. Towing accessories, fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitches, and heavy-duty suspension helper kits are the most searched categories for commercial operators.

How does the Ram 5500 differ from the Ram 4500?

The 5500 carries a higher GVWR rating (19,500 lbs vs 14,000 lbs for the 4500) and is designed for heavier upfit applications like dump trucks, service bodies, and flatbed configurations. Brake and suspension components are rated for the higher load, and some parts do not cross over from the 4500. Always confirm the specific model when ordering heavy-duty chassis components.

Are aftermarket exhaust systems available for the 6.7L Cummins in the Ram 5500?

Yes, though selection is more limited than for the light-duty Ram 2500 and 3500. MBRP produces medium-duty Cummins systems, and pipe kits compatible with the 5500's chassis routing are available.
