Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2017 Ram 3500 relies on two distinct filters to protect performance and comfort: the engine air filter and the cabin air filter. The engine air filter preserves the health of the 5.7L V8 by keeping abrasive particles out of the intake system, which is essential for maintaining 383 horsepower and the torque needed for heavy towing. The cabin air filter protects occupants from dust, pollen, and exhaust particulates while preserving HVAC efficiency. Both filters should be inspected regularly — dirty filters reduce power, increase fuel consumption, and can hasten component wear. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, our factory-trained technicians evaluate both filters during routine service and recommend OEM replacements that meet the original specifications. We document each replacement in your service history, helping preserve resale value and warranty coverage. Choose the right filter type for your driving conditions — standard pleated elements for typical use, or premium options for dusty or heavy-duty applications — and take advantage of our transparent pricing, available discounts, and service financing to get maintenance done now and pay over time.

2017 Ram 3500 Cabin Air Filter

The cabin air filter in a 2017 Ram 3500 is vital for maintaining interior air quality and protecting the HVAC system.

For drivers in Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley, seasonal allergens and road dust make timely cabin filter service especially important. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise, we emphasize transparency: our advisors explain inspection results, show you the filter condition, and recommend OEM replacements when needed.

When you’re ready to keep your cabin air clean and comfortable, schedule service online for a convenient appointment that fits your day.
