Ram Air Filter service at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver in Denver, CO Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2014 Ram 1500?
The 2014 Ram 1500’s engine air filter sits in the under‑hood airbox on the 3.6L V6 intake tract.
Lift the hood and look for a rectangular black airbox connected to the intake tube; the filter element is inside the housing. This location keeps debris out of the 3.6‑liter V‑6 while maintaining smooth airflow for the 8‑speed automatic and four‑wheel‑drive system. If you’re unsure, our Denver team can point it out and check sealing surfaces.
- Typically a rectangular panel element inside a latching airbox
- Accessible without removing major components
- We verify gasket condition and housing clips during service
Does a 2014 Ram 1500 have a cabin air filter?
No—most 2014 Ram 1500 trucks were not factory‑equipped with a cabin air filter.
Fourth‑generation trucks of this year typically lack a factory cabin filter door behind the glove box. If you want cleaner HVAC air, a Mopar retrofit kit can add a cabin filter to the existing housing. Our advisors in Denver can confirm your truck’s configuration and install a retrofit if desired—then maintain it at regular visits.
- Factory setup: usually no cabin filter door in 2014
- Retrofit available to add a serviceable cabin filter
- We’ll verify your VIN configuration before installing
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2014 Ram 1500?
From the factory, there isn’t one; with a retrofit, it mounts behind the glove box in the HVAC housing.
If your 2014 truck has been upgraded, the access door is typically behind the glove box and accepts a rectangular filter element. We can check for a retrofit panel and install an OEM‑spec filter if present. Schedule an inspection so our team can confirm your configuration and advise on maintenance.
- Factory: no cabin filter slot on most 2014 models
- Retrofit location: behind glove box, HVAC case
- Schedule service for verification and install
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2014 Ram 1500?
The engine air filter protects the 3.6L V6’s intake, while a cabin filter (not factory‑equipped in 2014) cleans air entering the passenger HVAC.
The engine element prevents dust from reaching cylinders, helping the 305‑hp V‑6 maintain performance and fuel economy. A retrofitted cabin filter, if installed, traps pollen and road dust for interior comfort. We can service both systems using OEM‑spec media and correct fitment.
- Engine filter: under‑hood, performance and engine protection
- Cabin filter: interior HVAC air quality (retrofit on 2014)
- OEM materials ensure proper filtration and airflow
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2014 Ram 1500?
Common signs are reduced power, lower fuel economy, and a rough idle on the 3.6L V6.
A dirty engine filter restricts airflow to the intake, which can cause hesitant acceleration or a loaded‑up feel, especially at Denver altitude. If your truck has a retrofitted cabin filter, clues include weak HVAC airflow or a musty odor. Our service team can inspect, replace, and ensure the airbox seals correctly.
- Sluggish throttle response under load
- Noticeable drop in MPG
- HVAC odor or weak airflow (retrofit cabin filter)
Can I replace the air filter on my 2014 Ram 1500 myself, or should the dealer do it?
Yes—most owners can DIY the engine air filter; dealer service adds OEM parts and intake checks, and Denver support if your truck needs a cabin retrofit.
The engine filter is accessible in the airbox and typically requires basic hand skills. Our dealership in Denver ensures correct fit, inspects the intake tube and mass‑airflow area, and disposes of the old element. If you want interior filtration, we can install a Mopar retrofit and maintain it going forward.
- DIY‑friendly engine filter access
- Dealer includes housing/MAF visual inspection
- Schedule an appointment for OEM parts and verification
Does Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver use OEM filters for a 2014 Ram 1500?
Yes—our Denver service department installs Genuine OEM Mopar filters on the 2014 Ram 1500.
Factory‑spec media and dimensions protect the intake system and ensure proper airflow. For trucks with a cabin retrofit, we source OEM‑spec filters that fit the HVAC door precisely. You can review current service specials and schedule service online at your convenience.

How often should I replace the cabin air filter on a 2014 Ram 1500?
There’s no factory interval because the 2014 Ram 1500 did not include a cabin air filter from the factory.
If your truck has a Mopar retrofit, follow the kit’s guidance and inspect at regular service visits, especially if you drive dusty Front Range roads. Our team can check your HVAC housing for a retrofit door and recommend an interval based on your usage. Book a quick inspection to confirm your setup.
- No OEM interval for 2014 factory configuration
- Retrofit owners: inspect at routine service

2014 Ram 1500 Air Filter Specifications
The 2014 Ram 1500 with the 3.6‑liter V‑6 (engine code 6VNAF3.6) uses a panel‑style engine air filter inside the under‑hood airbox to support 305 hp and 269 lb‑ft. Most 2014 trucks were not factory‑equipped with a cabin air filter; if interior filtration is desired, a Mopar retrofit kit adds a serviceable element behind the glove box.

If you’ve noticed reduced power or fuel economy, our team will inspect the element, housing gasket, and intake ducting, then replace as needed. Bring your 2014 Ram 1500 to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver in Denver for OEM‑spec filter service — schedule service.
