aFe Ram 2500 / 3500 Cummins Pro 5R Intake 2003-2009

Cummins diesel Stage-2 intake details

aFe 54-11342-1 is the selected Pro 5R Magnum FORCE Stage-2 intake for specified Ram 2500/3500 Cummins applications. One oiled filter, molded tube and wrinkle-black metal housing replace the stated factory intake components. The exact suffix-specific manual separates 5.9L 2003-2007 and 6.7L 2007.5-2009 installation details, including different sensor, blanking-plate and crankcase connections.

Key Features

• One washable five-layer oiled Pro 5R filter 24-91046; dry and Pro-GUARD 7 filters are alternate kits.
• Molded plastic tube and 16-gauge powder-coated metal heat shield per current primary.
• Straight high-temperature coupling, 4-inch diameter x 2-1/2-inch length, with two #064 clamps.
• Two 3/4-inch-profile trim seals, 27.5 and 13.5 inches long.
• Use bracket D for 2003-2009; the alternate 2010 bracket in the bill does not establish a new 2010 application.
• Transfer original air-temperature sensor; 6.7L also transfers its original MAF sensor with the supplied gasket and screws.
• For 5.9L use the MAF cover plate and crankcase-opening plug; for 6.7L retain the original crankcase line and plastic fitting through the grommet.
• Disconnect and reconnect both negative battery cables; exact sheet supplies periodic bolt/clamp checks without numeric torque or mileage interval.

Fitment

Current exact primary and manual cover Ram 2500/3500 2003-2007 5.9L and 2007.5-2009 6.7L Cummins. Named-trim rows remain conditional on the actual diesel engine; a whole 2007 tag does not mean every engine or build date. Exact selected-part retailer tables restore the Ram 2500 TRX4 2006-2007 group and fill the missing 2005 year in the existing SLT and ST groups. Original other bounds and the Ram 2500 Laramie 2004 gap remain unchanged because exact named-trim sources conflict there. Broader retailer chassis-cab 4500/5500 positives, package-style composite labels and the alternate 2010 bracket are held for exact housing and application confirmation; no new groups or years are inferred from them. Gas engines and Power Wagon are not inferred from a broad truck-model row.

Verify 54-11342-1 against the actual engine, sensor and vent connections, mounting locations and applicable emissions requirements before ordering.

Specifications

What's Included

Only the selected oiled filter is supplied for use; 21-91046 dry and 72-91046 Pro-GUARD 7 filters are alternative configurations. The common bill contains engine-specific plate/plug and sensor hardware plus alternate year bracket; not every part is installed on every engine. Retain the original sensors, vehicle mounting fastener, and on 6.7L the crankcase line and original plastic fitting. No new sensor, engine tuning module, extra hose or invented clamp torque is included.

Frequently Asked Questions

One 24-91046 five-layer oiled Pro 5R filter. Dry and Pro-GUARD 7 filters in the shared bill are alternate kits, not extra filters.

Ram 2500/3500 2003-2007 5.9L and 2007.5-2009 6.7L. Confirm the actual engine and build date within a 2007 vehicle row.

Both transfer the temperature sensor. The 5.9L uses the gasketed MAF cover plate and crankcase-opening plug. The 6.7L transfers the original MAF and reconnects its original crankcase line and saved fitting through the grommet.

The bill labels it for 5.9L, but illustrated steps 8 and 11 explicitly use the grommet for the 6.7L crankcase connection. Follow the exact engine branch and verify the physical parts.

No. The exact bill labels bracket D for 2003-2009 and an alternate bracket for 2010, while the primary and vehicle table end in 2009. No new 2010 application is added.

Exact-part tables support Ram 2500 TRX4 2006-2007 and the missing 2005 year for SLT and ST. Other original bounds and the unresolved 2004 Laramie gap remain unchanged.

The chart run peaks differ by minus 1 hp and plus 4 lb-ft, not independent proof of advertised point gains. No flow report is linked. Current primary says not CARB exempt despite the older sticker instruction.

Disconnect and reconnect both negative battery cables. Check bolts and clamps periodically; the exact manual supplies no numeric torque or mileage interval.

Installation Instructions

Verify aFe 54-11342-1. Read both pages of exact Rev B suffix-specific instructions and follow the correct engine branch. Disconnect both negative battery cables. Loosen the factory tube clamps at turbo and airbox, remove the original tube, and on 6.7L remove the crankcase line while saving its original plastic fitting. Disconnect the temperature sensor and, on 6.7L, the MAF harness; lift out the original airbox. Loosen the radiator-housing bolt, install bracket D for the supported 2003-2009 application and retighten that original bolt. Fit the trim seals, position the housing and install its bottom 3/8-inch hardware and M6 bracket hardware. Transfer the original temperature sensor with gasket and supplied screws. On 5.9L install the MAF cover plate with gasket and short screws and plug the crankcase opening. On 6.7L transfer the original MAF with its gasket and screws and install the rubber grommet for the original crankcase line; the short Phillips screws are not used on this branch. Fit the high-temperature coupling and tube, loosely attach the tube to the housing with the M6 screw/washer, then tighten the connections and housing screw. Reconnect the 6.7L crankcase line with its retained fitting through the grommet, reconnect all sensor harnesses, and install the selected filter. Reconnect both negative battery cables. Check bolts and clamps periodically and retighten if necessary. No numeric torque or mileage interval is supplied. The older sheet EO-sticker step does not override the current exact primary California restriction.

Important Disclosures

Current exact primary, complete two-page Rev B manual including the full repeated bill and all 15 installation photos, and actual linked dyno report were reviewed. The exact suffix is used; no unrelated intake instructions are borrowed. The bill grommet label conflicts with the illustrated 6.7L procedure and remains qualified. The 2010 alternate bracket is documented without extending the 2003-2009 primary/manual vehicle scope. Three application repairs consist of one genuine TRX4 group and two 2005 year-gap restorations from exact selected-part retailer tables, not composite package, gas, chassis-cab or related-engine inference. Other original bounds, including the Laramie gap, remain unchanged. The dyno report printed February 21, 2011 compares February 7 stock intake with February 8 selected side-insert configuration; both comments name stock exhaust, while only the stock comment explicitly states third gear. Its maximum table shows 234 to 233 hp and 464 to 468 lb-ft: peak differences of minus 1 hp and plus 4 lb-ft. Those are separate run peaks and do not independently establish the advertised 14 hp / 27 lb-ft point gains or matched conditions. Exact vehicle, production filter configuration and correction are not established. No flow report resolves manufacturer 105% versus retailer 59% claims. Current primary non-CARB restriction takes priority over the old manual EO-sticker instruction or retailer exemption claims. Turn14 authenticated exact-product access remains unavailable. Protected commercial fields and pricing remain unchanged.
