aFe Dodge Ram 6.7L 2010-2012 Momentum HD Pro 10R Intake

Ram Cummins Momentum HD intake details

aFe 50-72004 is a Momentum HD cold air intake for the specified 2010-2012 6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel trucks. One 20-91059 Pro 10R filter uses ten layers of oiled cotton; it is not the oil-free dry-media variant. The original crankcase fitting transfers into a supplied grommet, and separate front/bottom auxiliary plugs are included.

Key Features

• One ten-layer oiled 20-91059 filter; wash and re-oil with the correct manufacturer method.
• One-piece housing and molded tube with filter-inspection window.
• Retain original MAF AND temperature sensor, housing mount and factory fastener.
• Three supplied M4 screws; no unverified screw length or numeric torque.
• Turbo coupling first, then tube-to-filter connection.
• Disconnect both negative battery terminals; recheck after 100-200 miles.
• Retain original crankcase fitting and clamp; optional front/bottom plugs are distinct parts.

Fitment

Exact current primary and own manual cover 2010-2012 Dodge/Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins pickups. Preserve the 2010 Dodge and 2011-2012 Ram naming and all original ranges. Restore missing Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn 2011-2012 from the exact selected-part table. Do not extend pickup fitment to cab-chassis applications merely because other kits appear in adjacent EO rows.

Verify 50-72004 against the actual engine, sensor and vent connections, mounting locations and applicable emissions requirements before ordering.

Specifications

What's Included

The filter, housing and tube each occur once. Clamp on the filter flange is a separate instruction from the three itemized T-bolts; do not turn a shared alternative filter listing into multiple supplied filters. Original sensors, housing mounting hardware and crankcase clamp are retained. No new crankcase fitting or replacement hose is itemized: retain the original fitting/hose. The primary narrative gives older oval-filter dimensions while its current 20-91059 service listing gives round 6-inch flange dimensions; confirm boxed filter revision rather than certify both as identical. Do not borrow the later kit's supplied hose or Active Air mechanism.

No. One 20-91059 Pro 10R uses ten layers of oiled cotton. Clean and re-oil correctly; other media are separate variants.

Both original MAF and temperature sensor transfer with three furnished M4 screws. No new sensor is supplied.

The original crankcase fitting and hose, factory clamp, mounting grommet and housing screw remain.

The full D-550-26 Exhibit A lists this part for 2010-2012 2500 pickups through two adjacent year rows. The adjacent 3500 rows name other parts, so the physical 3500 application is not blanket-certified under this EO. Cab-chassis rows also name other parts.

The manufacturer-linked file name starts with the dry variant, but its actual run notes explicitly identify the selected oiled part. Marked points show 273.49 minus 255.91 = 17.58 HP and 674.27 minus 630.84 = 43.43 lb-ft. Separate maxima are 329.21 versus 331.54 HP = minus 2.33 HP and 687.85 versus 682.71 lb-ft = 5.14 lb-ft. Both label a 2012 Ram 2500 with OE exhaust, fourth gear, 40% brake, 1,550-rpm start and 40 mph. Intake August 28, 2013 at 10:04:22 versus baseline August 27 at 11:17:41; SAE 1.04 versus 1.05, 91.89 versus 94.30 F, 28.96 versus 28.95 in-Hg and 27% versus 28% humidity. Advertised 18 HP/43 lb-ft reflects point differences, not separate peak gains.

The exact linked chart shows 273 CFM versus stock 207 at 1.5 inches H2O: calculated 31.88%, which conflicts with the current primary 27% claim. Keep this unresolved rather than certify either as a universal result. The primary 1,000-CFM figure describes the filter, not this installed-system bench result. The 99.59% efficiency claim lacks the complete supplied test report.

Disconnect negative terminals on BOTH batteries. No numeric torque is provided. Follow selected kit procedure and recheck all connections after 100-200 miles.

Installation Instructions

Verify aFe 50-72004. Read all sixteen pages and figures A-G. Work cool and disconnect negative terminals on BOTH batteries as page two requires. Remove original housing screw; disconnect MAF and temperature harnesses, crankcase vent and turbo clamp, then remove original intake. Own manual specifically says wipe excess oil from filter flange with acetone. Preinstall filter and large clamps loose. Optional supplied plugs can close bottom and/or front opening when no separate scoop is installed. Press housing into original mounting grommet and loosely restore housing screw. Transfer MAF and temperature sensor with three supplied M4 screws. Install supplied rubber grommet, release original tube clamp and transfer original crankcase fitting and hose into grommet. Preinstall silicone coupling and two T-bolts loose. Slide coupling over TURBO FIRST, then connect tube to filter; align and secure. Reconnect factory crankcase line with original clamp and both sensor harnesses. Restore battery connections per vehicle procedure. No numeric torque; verify connections after 100-200 miles. Follow applicable EO-label placement instruction without extending actual exemption scope.
