Call or Text (352) 722-5295Replacement intake filters for the 2007.5-2009 Ram 6.7L Cummins
The 6.7L Cummins arrived in mid-2007 with the Holset HE351VE, the first variable-geometry turbo on a Cummins pickup. From the factory, air enters a fender-mounted box with a paper panel filter, Mopar 53034051AB or Fleetguard AF27684, on a 30,000-mile or 24-month interval. Once that box is replaced with an aftermarket cold air intake, the factory panel no longer applies. You need the element made for your intake, and that is what this page holds.
What fails and why
The failure that matters is dust. Diesel Hub lists frequent air filter checks as turbo-failure prevention on this engine, because dirt that gets past a neglected or poorly sealed filter damages the VGT compressor wheel. The signs are turbo whine, oil consumption, and a dusted compressor wheel when you pull the intake tube. A torn element, a loose clamp, or a filter that does not seat fully on the intake inlet all let the same dirt through.
Stock replacement vs. upgrade
If your truck still runs the factory airbox, stay with the Mopar or Fleetguard panel. This collection is for trucks already running an aftermarket intake, such as the Banks Ram-Air system catalogued for 2007-2009 6.7L Rams. If you are still shopping for a complete kit, buy one that shows a CARB EO number on its listing so it stays street legal, and browse our intakes for full systems.

Fitment notes
Match the part number on the filter you pull out, or the replacement your intake maker lists. A wrap only fits the element it was sized for. Chassis cab trucks often take different intake parts than pickups; Banks, for one, builds a separate chassis-cab version of its Monster-Ram intake elbow. Verify by VIN or call before ordering for a 3500, 4500 or 5500 cab-and-chassis.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I change the air filter on a 2007.5-2009 6.7L Cummins?
The factory interval for the stock Mopar 53034051AB element is 30,000 miles or 24 months. Aftermarket elements follow their maker's service instructions. Whatever you run, Diesel Hub lists frequent filter checks as turbo-failure prevention, because a neglected filter is how dust reaches the compressor wheel.
Do I need a filter wrap?
A wrap is an outer pre-filter layer that slips over the element. Banks 42645 is sized for Ram-Air filters 42148 and 42178, and S&B WF-1017 is listed for 2003-2009 Cummins. Buy the wrap that matches your element, not just your truck.
Will the factory Mopar filter fit my aftermarket intake?
Not as a rule. The Mopar and Fleetguard panel is built for the stock fender-mounted airbox. An aftermarket intake uses its own element, so order the replacement that matches your intake brand and part number.
