Description
Fits: 2003-early 2004 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L Cummins diesel, WITHOUT optional quiet hood pad; excludes 2004 600-series/2004.5 configurations.
This application-specific AIRAID quickfit cad intake uses a serviceable filter and a vehicle-matched inlet arrangement. Its supplied panels or airbox manage the filter area without changing the truck into a different engine or emissions configuration.
Selected part: 300-128 — Red oiled / service filter 720-128. Quantity: one selected kit or service package, not all options.
Included components
filter, front/rear air-dam panels, plastic filter adapter, 27-inch weatherstrip and listed mounting fasteners
Installation and service
Keep the original lower airbox, intake tube/hose clamp, sensor, filter minder and grommet. No replacement intake tube is included. The manufacturer catalog explicitly excludes 2004 600 Series; verify the actual engine configuration, not merely the registration year.
Service only with products appropriate to the selected media: oiled filters require cleaning, drying and controlled re-oiling; dry synthetic filters must not be oiled.
Emissions and application notes
Official CARB EO D-609-18 lists the selected part numbers for the stated application only. Follow its installation conditions and retain the factory emissions systems and calibration. This is not a universal road-legality claim; other applications and jurisdictions require separate verification.
