aFe Pro DRY S OE Filter for Listed Dodge / Ram Non-Active-Air Housings

Pro DRY S replacement with the correct engine and housing

The aFe 31-80102 replaces the original airbox filter in the specified applications with oil-free synthetic media. The current exact manufacturer identifies Dodge/Ram diesel trucks 2003–2024 5.9L/6.7L and explicitly excludes vehicles equipped with the RAM Active Air System. Its overview specifies two layers of oil-free synthetic media. This is one replacement element for the matching original housing, not a replacement airbox that removes or bypasses an Active Air requirement. The original individual Dodge and Ram rows remain bounded through their own recorded years; the current 2024 family headline does not extend every named trim. Exact-part retailer catalogs also contain gasoline 5.7L/6.4L applications, including the original Power Wagon context, beyond the current diesel headline. Those broader engine/housing scopes are retained as explicit source holds rather than removed merely because Power Wagon is gasoline or promoted to manufacturer certification. Some 2013+ diesel rows may depend on the actual installed airbox/Active Air equipment: their original entries are not a statement that every stock truck is compatible. Do not invent an engine or equipment pseudo-trim to hide that unresolved condition. No chassis-cab model, gas engine or later year is newly added from a related filter.

Key Features

• Oil-free synthetic filtration media.
• Washable oil-free synthetic media. Use the specified aFe POWER CLEANER, rinse appropriately and dry fully; do not apply air-filter oil. The exact current manufacturer overview specifies two synthetic layers. Verify that the original housing is eligible and has no excluded RAM Active Air System.
• Rounded open pleats provide usable filter area and dust-holding capacity.
• Full polyurethane perimeter frame and progressive bump seal.
• The exact current manufacturer does not state a numerical flow-gain or efficiency percentage. Other-media or adjacent filter results are not substituted as exact verified gains.

Washable oil-free synthetic media. Use the specified aFe POWER CLEANER, rinse appropriately and dry fully; do not apply air-filter oil. The exact current manufacturer overview specifies two synthetic layers. Verify that the original housing is eligible and has no excluded RAM Active Air System.

The exact current manufacturer does not state a numerical flow-gain or efficiency percentage. Other-media or adjacent filter results are not substituted as exact verified gains.

Its progressive bump seal and full polyurethane perimeter frame conform to the original housing. The manufacturer says separate filter gaskets or sealants are not required; the existing housing must still close and secure correctly.

The exact listing identifies an OE-replacement filter. A generic Coupler Included field does not establish a separate hose package; no airbox, tube, sensor, cleaner or oil bottle is documented as supplied.

No. The exact current manufacturer explicitly excludes vehicles equipped with the RAM Active Air System. This filter is not a replacement housing or an authorization to disable that system. Resolve actual installed equipment before selecting or installing it.

Inspect according to actual dust exposure and restriction. Washable oil-free synthetic media. Use the specified aFe POWER CLEANER, rinse appropriately and dry fully; do not apply air-filter oil. The exact current manufacturer overview specifies two synthetic layers. Verify that the original housing is eligible and has no excluded RAM Active Air System. Use low-pressure rinse from the clean side toward the dirty side, let the element dry naturally before reinstalling. Do not use heat, compressed air or any filter oil. Do not treat an older general-care mileage example as a guaranteed interval for every vehicle or environment.

Installation Instructions

1. Read the exact manufacturer product information for 31-80102 and the original vehicle airbox service procedure.
2. With the engine off and cool, compare the new filter and original element, including the sealing interface. Resolve an engine or housing mismatch before installation.
3. Open the original housing according to its service procedure, remove the old element and keep debris out of the clean intake path. Clean the housing seat.
4. Seat the polyurethane frame evenly without folding the bump seal or adding sealant. Close and secure the original housing and inspect all its attachments.
5. Washable oil-free synthetic media. Use the specified aFe POWER CLEANER, rinse appropriately and dry fully; do not apply air-filter oil. The exact current manufacturer overview specifies two synthetic layers. Verify that the original housing is eligible and has no excluded RAM Active Air System.

No vehicle-specific installation PDF or numeric airbox torque is linked on this exact manufacturer page. Follow the original housing service procedure and the correct oil-free Pro DRY S maintenance directions. Read the manufacturer media maintenance guidance.
