Retain all three mounting grommets and original plastic pin inserts. No sensor screws, replacement sensors or crankcase hose is itemized.
aFe Power develops application-specific intake, filtration, exhaust, cooling, tuning, suspension, drivetrain, and truck-performance components supported by product testing and documented installation requirements.
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.

Retain all three mounting grommets and original plastic pin inserts. No sensor screws, replacement sensors or crankcase hose is itemized.
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?All three original mounting grommets and plastic pin inserts remain. The original filter minder/grommet can transfer; this procedure does not prescribe electronic-sensor transfer.
How is the optional air opening closed?The supplied housing inlet plug can close the additional opening. The filter-minder cap closes a different port; install 18-inch trim seal as illustrated.
Which exact applications are supported?Exact current primary and sixteen-page own manual cover 1994-2002 Dodge 5.9L Cummins turbo-diesel trucks. Preserve both original genuine Base rows for Ram 2500 and Ram 3500, with their full original bounds. No gasoline 5.9L, other generation or newly invented named trim is inferred. Actual engine and original mounting system must match.
Does the EO cover every related engine or chassis?The full D-550-26 Exhibit A explicitly lists this part for 1994-2002 Dodge/Ram 2500/3500 5.9L turbo pickup/cab chassis. Match actual vehicle, selected part and correct installation; do not treat the exemption as approval of performance claims.
What do the reported performance values mean?The exact chart shows 292 CFM versus stock 223 at 1.5 inches H2O, a calculated 30.94% increase rounded to the primary 31%. No exact linked dyno report or numeric horsepower/torque result is supplied on the current primary. Do not substitute a later 5.9L or 6.7L kit report.
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 50-72001. Read all sixteen pages and all illustrated steps. Work cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal as page two requires; follow vehicle procedure for its battery configuration. Loosen turbo/airbox clamps and remove original tube. Unclip upper airbox and remove filter, then pull lower box up. Keep plastic inserts on all original mounting pins; recover any inserts stuck in old grommets. Remove plastic duct through fender if equipped. Transfer ALL THREE original mounting grommets to new housing, install 18-inch trim seal at opening and preinstall selected filter with large clamps loose. Press housing down until pins pass completely through mounting grommets. Fit coupling to turbo using SMALLEST supplied clamp, snug but not tight. Transfer original filter minder and grommet into tube, or use supplied grommet/cap when omitting minder. Fit remaining clamp at coupling, slide tube into coupling and connect tube into filter; tighten clamps with 10mm nut driver as manual instructs, without inventing torque. Optional supplied plug closes extra housing inlet. Restore battery connections per vehicle procedure; recheck after 100-200 miles and follow applicable EO-label placement. Do not invent a MAF, temperature-sensor or crankcase transfer absent from this kit procedure. Repeated figure letters and mismatched printed step references are editorial; all twelve sequential steps must be followed.
Exact current primary, all 16 physical PDF pages, full bill and all critical installation figures were read and viewed. The exact chart shows 292 CFM versus stock 223 at 1.5 inches H2O, a calculated 30.94% increase rounded to the primary 31%. The 1,000-CFM primary statement describes filter performance, not this installed-system measurement. A complete independent report for the advertised 99.59% efficiency is not supplied. No exact linked dyno report or numeric horsepower/torque result is supplied on the current primary. Do not substitute a later 5.9L or 6.7L kit report. The full D-550-26 Exhibit A explicitly lists this part for 1994-2002 Dodge/Ram 2500/3500 5.9L turbo pickup/cab chassis. Match actual vehicle, selected part and correct installation; do not treat the exemption as approval of performance claims. No related-engine procedure or dyno result substitutes for the selected kit.

Compare what the package supplies before choosing between the two routes.For a naturally aspirated, turbocharged or supercharged engine, the connection and sensor arrangement are part of the design.
