The aFe 46-10073-1 is a black cast-aluminum charged-air intake manifold for the 6.7L Cummins, supplied in the gasket-equipped configuration. It retains the factory EGR valve, butterfly valve and MAP sensor. This is an intake inlet, not an exhaust header, muffler or stainless exhaust system.
| Years | Model | Exact engine / requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 2007.5–2010 | Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 | 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel; verify actual production and manifold interfaces. |
| 2011–2018 | Ram 2500 / 3500 | 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel; see older high-output application conflict below. |
46-10073-1: The current exact page and linked manual cover 2007.5–2018. An older manufacturer application guide instead limits this part to 2010–April 2011 and excludes 2011 HO; that historical conflict does not establish compatibility for an unidentified older boxed revision. Confirm actual revision and high-output configuration with aFe. The manual BOM labels its gasket rows “46-10073 Only,” omitting the -1 suffix, while the current exact -1 page explicitly includes the OEM Dodge gasket set. Its “Filter Included” and “Coupler Included” generic fields are not a new air filter or hose promise: the manual retains the original hose. Five auxiliary pads include two tapped 1/8 NPT accessory ports, not five ready-to-use sensor ports. See the older manufacturer application guide for the historical limits.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer Part Number | 46-10073-1 |
| Configuration | Gasket-equipped intake manifold with MDV airflow passages and pass-through mounting bolts |
| Construction / airflow path | Cast aluminum; current exact page says 808 alloy, while the older manufacturer guide lists cast A356 aluminum. Exact supplied alloy revision is unresolved. |
| Finish | Black powder coat on the manifold |
| Fasteners / torque | The linked exact manual gives tightening tools and sequence but no numerical fastener/clamp torque or mileage recheck interval. Obtain the applicable factory/manufacturer values; do not borrow 18 ft-lb or 71 in-lb from a 5.9L kit. |
| Heater / original components | Original EGR valve, butterfly gate, MAP sensor, wiring, dipstick and hump-hose connection are retained and reinstalled. This kit does not instruct deleting the heater or emissions equipment. |
| Emissions | Current exact primary page and linked instructions both state not CARB exempt; unavailable for sale in California or use on California-registered vehicles. |
aFe Power develops application-specific intake, filtration, exhaust, cooling, tuning, suspension, drivetrain, and truck-performance components supported by product testing and documented installation requirements.
A gasket-equipped BladeRunner intake manifold for the specified 6.7L Cummins application, not an exhaust component.
Does it delete the EGR or butterfly valve?No. The exact instructions transfer and reconnect the factory EGR valve, butterfly gate, MAP sensor and wiring.
Does it include a complete cold-air intake or filter?No such package appears in the exact manual. Its retained original hump hose and generic web fields do not establish a supplied air filter or replacement coupler.
Are all five auxiliary pads threaded ports?No. The exact page specifies two tapped 1/8 NPT accessory ports within five auxiliary pads. Accessories and required machining are separate.
Which gaskets come with this version?The exact -1 page specifies the OEM Dodge gasket set; the shared manual lists one throttle-body, two EGR-valve and one manifold gasket under its abbreviated 46-10073-only notation.
Is the older 2011 HO exclusion resolved?No. The current exact manual covers 2007.5–2018, but the older manufacturer guide limits this part to 2010–April 2011 and excludes 2011 HO. Confirm actual boxed revision and configuration.
What torque should be used?The exact guide supplies no numerical torque. Use the applicable factory/manufacturer values rather than borrowing settings from a different engine kit.
Is it CARB exempt?No. The current exact primary page and manual both state the California sale/use restriction.
46-10073-1: inspect every connection and resolve the documented kit discrepancies before operation.
