aFe Ram 1500 DT 3.6L Pro 5R Rapid Induction Intake

RAM DT 3.6L Rapid Induction intake details

aFe 52-10002R is a Rapid Induction intake for specified RAM 1500 DT 3.6L V6 applications, excluding Classic. It supplies ONE five-layer oiled Pro 5R filter, XLPE tube and 18-gauge steel shield mounted to the original lower airbox. Original IAT transfers and a supplied CCV connector/hose adapts the retained crankcase-vent connection.

Key Features

• ONE 24-90108 Pro 5R filter with FIVE pre-oiled cotton gauze layers.
• XLPE tube 05-5210002B1 and 18-gauge wrinkle-black steel shield 05-5413020B2.
• Silicone reducer 3.25 x 3.125-inch ID x 3-inch length, smaller end at throttle.
• TWO #048 clamps and 32-inch top trim seal.
• Six-inch-long 5/8-inch-ID silicone CCV hose and quick-connect/barb fitting.
• NEW IAT grommet and adapter; ORIGINAL IAT retained.
• SIX original housing screws and lower factory airbox reused.
• DT chassis only; Classic explicitly excluded; no numeric torque, 100-200-mile recheck.

Fitment

Current exact manufacturer primary lists RAM 1500 DT 2019-2026 V6-3.6L; own sixteen-page manual ends at 2025 and explicitly excludes 1500 CLASSIC. Exact selected-part retailer table supports the individual named ranges below, preserving early endpoints and distinct Longhorn labels. Later 2026 applications are qualified beyond the older manual cover; trim names alone do not establish a 3.6L engine. Confirm actual DT chassis, 3.6L engine, IAT and CCV connections. Express/Warlock 2026 here are DT applications, not earlier Classic models sharing those names. No 5.7L, Hurricane, RHO, TRX, Tungsten or universal engine compatibility is inferred.

Verify 52-10002R against the actual engine, sensor and vent connections, mounting locations and applicable emissions requirements before ordering.

Reuse SIX original lower-airbox screws, original lower housing, original temperature sensor and original female CCV connector. No new MAF/IAT sensor, IAT screws, lower box or six replacement housing bolts are listed.

Selected 24-90108 uses FIVE pre-oiled cotton gauze layers. Shared 21-90108 dry entry is an alternative, not a second included filter. Seven-inch narrative versus 7.5-inch replacement height remains qualified.

SIX original upper-box screws secure new steel shield to original lower housing. No six-bolt replacement pack or new lower airbox is listed.

Transfer original IAT into NEW grommet/adapter. Insert NEW male CCV fitting into ORIGINAL female connector, attach NEW six-inch 5/8-inch-ID silicone hose and connect to tube. This hose is not a coolant hose.

Put smaller reducer end at throttle, insert tube into reducer and rotate DOWN COUNTERCLOCKWISE into filter flange. Then secure all clamps and reconnect IAT/CCV.

Exact manufacturer flow chart compares Pro 5R 460 CFM, dry 440 CFM and stock 335 CFM at 7 inches H2O. Selected oiled improvement is 37.31%, rounded to 37%; dry media is a separate configuration. At marked 4,750 rpm, linked report shows 223.85 minus 209.43 = 14.42 HP and 247.47 minus 231.56 = 15.91 lb-ft. Separate maxima are 271.54 versus 260.99 HP = 10.55 HP and 252.53 versus 235.21 lb-ft = 17.32 lb-ft. Advertised 14-HP/16-lb-ft point gains are not both separate peak differences. Selected October 26, 2020 at 12:24:36 PM uses PROTOTYPE intake with Borla PROTOTYPE exhaust; baseline October 16 at 12:31:12 PM notes original intake WITH HIGH-FLOW FILTER and Borla prototype exhaust. SAE 0.99 versus 1.04, smoothing 5, fourth gear and inductive RPM. Specific vehicle model/year, numeric weather, hood/cover position and load are not printed. This is not a stock-panel-filter/original-exhaust comparison, dry-media test or guaranteed result.

Install 32-inch seal along TOP shield edge, cutting reliefs only in seal if needed at bends. No numeric torque or battery-disconnection instruction. Recheck all bolts, clamps and connectors at 100-200 miles.

Installation Instructions

Verify aFe 52-10002R. Read all sixteen pages and figures A-K. Work cool. Loosen throttle-body and filter-housing clamps, disconnect IAT harness, remove original tube valve-cover mounting nut and save original parts, disconnect rear quick-connect and remove tube. Remove SIX factory upper-box screws and original panel filter, retaining LOWER housing. Secure aFe shield to lower box using those SIX original screws. Remove selected filter clamp, pass filter flange through shield opening until it snaps into place, then put clamp back LOOSE. Install reducer SMALLER END on throttle body with one #048 clamp. Insert supplied MALE CCV quick-connect into ORIGINAL FEMALE fitting; attach six-inch silicone hose to barb. Install supplied grommet and IAT adapter in new tube; a small amount of silicone grease is permitted to ease fitting insertion. Transfer ORIGINAL IAT into adapter. Place remaining #048 clamp over throttle coupling, insert tube into coupling and rotate COUNTERCLOCKWISE DOWN into filter flange; tighten clamps. Connect CCV hose to tube and reconnect IAT harness. Fit 32-inch trim along TOP edge, cutting relief slots only in seal if needed at bends. Verify all bolts, clamps and connectors; recheck at 100-200 miles. No battery-disconnection step or numeric torque is given; do not invent an instruction to reuse original valve-cover nut on a new bracket not listed.
