aFe 50-72002 is a Momentum HD cold air intake for the specified 2003-2007 Dodge 5.9L Cummins turbo-diesel trucks. One Pro 10R filter uses ten layers of oiled cotton, with a molded tube and one-piece windowed housing. The temperature sensor and optional original filter minder transfer; a bottom scoop plug must be installed internally before the filter.
Exact current primary and twelve-page own manual cover 2003-2007 5.9L Cummins trucks. The exact selected-part named table closes missing 2005 in Ram 2500 SLT and ST, restoring each to 2003-2007, and restores Ram 3500 Laramie 2003-2007. Preserve the distinct Ram 2500 Laramie 2003 and 2005-2007 ranges with its 2004 gap. Other original bounds stay as shown. No 2007.5 6.7L application is inferred.

One filter, housing and tube are supplied. Original factory mounting parts and filter minder/grommet are retained; supplied grommet/cap closes the unused minder port. Only the temperature sensor transfers with TWO screws; no MAF transfer or new crankcase hose/fitting is itemized. Shared housing part number with the later kit is not complete-system interchange. The primary narrative gives older oval filter dimensions while its current service listing gives round 6-inch flange dimensions; confirm boxed revision rather than certify both as identical.

Is this an oil-free filter?No. The selected Pro 10R is ten-layer oiled cotton. Dry-media entries in a shared manual are alternatives.
Which original sensors or mounting parts transfer?The temperature sensor uses two furnished M4 screws. Original housing nut/mount and optional filter minder/grommet remain; no MAF transfer is prescribed.
How is the optional air opening closed?The internal bottom scoop plug goes in from inside BEFORE filter installation; the front opening has its separate optional plug.
Which exact applications are supported?Exact current primary and twelve-page own manual cover 2003-2007 5.9L Cummins trucks.

What do the reported performance values mean?The exact chart shows 263 CFM versus stock 207 at 1.5 inches H2O, a calculated 27.05% increase rounded to the primary 27%. Marked points near 2,660 rpm show 313.69 minus 292.15 = 21.54 HP and 619.19 minus 576.64 = 42.55 lb-ft. Separate maxima are 323.78 versus 326.68 HP = minus 2.90 HP and 619.29 versus 586.45 lb-ft = 32.84 lb-ft.

Rounded 22 HP/43 lb-ft point gains are not separate peak gains.
What torque and recheck instructions apply?No numeric torque is supplied. Follow the exact battery-disconnection and assembly procedure, restore connections correctly and verify all connections after 100-200 miles.
Verify aFe 50-72002. Read all twelve pages and figures A-F. Work cool and disconnect negative cables on BOTH batteries as page two requires. Remove original airbox nut, disconnect temperature harness and loosen turbo clamp, then remove original intake. Own manual calls for wiping excess oil from filter flange with acetone. If closing auxiliary openings, fit internal bottom scoop plug from INSIDE BEFORE installing filter; front plug is separately optional. Preinstall filter and large clamps loose. Press housing into original mounting grommet and loosely restore factory nut. Transfer temperature sensor with two supplied M4 screws. Transfer filter minder and original grommet if equipped; otherwise close port with supplied grommet and cap. Preinstall coupling and two turbo clamps loose; slide coupling over TURBO FIRST, then connect tube to filter. Align and secure clamps and housing nut, reconnect temperature harness and restore battery connections per vehicle procedure. No MAF or crankcase-fitting transfer is prescribed in this selected manual. No numeric torque; recheck all connections after 100-200 miles and follow applicable clean/smooth EO-label placement.
Exact current primary, all 12 physical PDF pages, full bill and all critical installation figures were read and viewed.
