Will this work on 19 ram 1500?

[@garyshimer9725]

Just installed this Series 63 on my 2013 Dodge Ram 5.7. Took a half hour start to finish. You can feel the difference for sure. Sounds better also. A must have for your Ram

[@Smodlee]

Lol 😂 it seems that way but it doesn’t add anything. You could put a sticker on your truck and think it feels faster 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just installed one on my 2012 RAM 1500. The new hose fitting doesn't require you to cut the hose anymore. Fit right in perfect!

[@rickyweymers9209]

What bracket did you use for the heat shield same ones?

What the factory heat shield for motor messing with hose?

[@dustinjohnson7002]

Which hose would u cut?

[@rrk8031]

Just installed mine today no more cutting required. Simple as ABC and works perfectly.

[@btw6060]

For anyone using this video as a guide to install, there is no need to cut the provided tube. There is a new process for fitting the tube in the newer kits provided by K&N. Refer to the instruction manual for directions

[@Cloudwalker_Exploring]

God I wish I read this before following his instructions to cut it

[@btw6060]

@@Cloudwalker_Exploring tell me about it, I cut it as well

[@williamkolwaite6214]

@@Cloudwalker_Exploring @btw6060 - I wish I read this as well because I did the same thing - howvever for anyone that does it, a 2 foot section of 5/8" tubing is what you need to replace it, and you can get it right from any AutoZone or Advance Auto along with two small hose clamps. One of those moments where I wish I had read the directions first before just watching the video and following along with it lol. But its an easy fix and was only $8 for the tubing and 2 small clamps. But thanks for trying to give us the heads up lol

[@SwartwoodsReview]

Installed on my 2018 1500, improved overall mpg by 2mpg. 65mph on interstate I'm getting 23mpg. 55mph-27mpg

[@RobDavis69]

Great video but the K&N kit only came with a screw in right angle for the breather. Used the straight barb and routed the breather down and around the new heat shield. Now time to drive and test it.

[@brooklynbigshot1973]

To add to my last comment I have 2013 ram 1500 sport and the performance with it is awesome thanks

Sorry no offend but never ever 44+hp with air intake alone.

[@IVAN-ek3wp]

I love the roaring sound of the intake when I accelerate. But it wasn't that easy to install thought 😁😄🤯

[@AmericanTrucksRam]

At least you got it installed though! Glad to hear you're happy with it! -Zach

[@alphasheepdog9683]

I’m assuming those gains were after a tune and exhaust… never seen a cai bump numbers like that on a stock motor without a tune

[@drew.-]

Thats what I was thinking. 40 horse power from an intake alone would be insane

Open air design, I would expect you will need to clean the filter element more often but at least you can visually see it easily.

[@brooklynbigshot1973]

Thanks for your video very helpful I did it step by step paused as I needed life saver only problem is the hose trick with the elbow didnt work out for me without a kink in hose so I had no choice but to cut my stock one thank god I had a dremel made it so much easier but everything else worked out great Thanks again 👍

Hey Anthony I’m installing the cold air intake on my truck now the crank case ventilation reroute that k and n provided kinda works but I’m a little worried about it pinching while I’m driving do you have a picture of what you did when you cut the stock tube "

[@brooklynbigshot1973]

@@415sparky9 sorry no I dont all I did was eye it up In the video I followed his directions when it came to what he says what size to cut hose that what I did I used that hose part cut the stock and connected it U gotta do it kinda on the fly like make up as you go But dont cut to short also I think I used some of the factory better hose to make it work Hope this helps I dont have picture and not have my truck today in my charger sorry

[@brooklynbigshot1973]

@@415sparky9 from what I remember I think its 11 inch hose says to.cut 5 inches off I believe I might be mistaking but I used what ever end lined up best and cut the factory with a dremel clamped it and it was done

[@armytruck08]

I had to cut the stock vent hose 8 inches back , then added the rubber hose with the elbow then another 4 inches up to the tube . The stock plastic vent tube ran way past the K&N housing so it needed to be cut . I also had a problem with the rubber hose provided inside diameter. I just about blew a nut pushing and pounding the elbow on even using a bit of soapy water . No need for a clamp . Anyway , it’s in and I’m satisfied. With having installed a flowmaster American Thunder muffler my 19 Ram 1500 5.7 means business. Just one more mod to do for now is the throttle body from a stock 80MM to a 90

[@babz537]

But it blows hot air is that still ok ?

[@heelerhealer7552]

13:40 incorrect way to install hose on the intake. Hose too big and not on barbs, Clamp where it is may not seal properly and risk squeezing off. Bigger barbed fitting or smaller hose needed here. I hope he checked all those clamps with hand tools afterwards.

[@Cloudwalker_Exploring]

WARNING: The new kits by K&N DO NOT REQUIRE CUTTING the hoses provided.

[@adamloggins9279]

My sensor is different from that. Mines a short stubby one , not the long needle looking one. And now I have a check engine light So which one would I buy to replace. Cause the long one and short one pull up when I search it. It’s a 2012 ram Rt 1500

[@troypitcher5971]

Fit and finish is great. I can feel the power difference. My issue is that when I'm pulling my trailer uphill and getting into the higher rpms, it feels and sounds like the power falls flat on it's face for a couple seconds and then kicks back up. Then repeats multiple times. Any thoughts? I haven't reprogrammed the truck. I don't have a programmer.

[@Russia4life.]

More horse more gas unfortunately

Does not cutting the hose, and making a longer tube cause the air intake to decrease the amount of power output?

Check reviews and they state works for yr truck and engine

[@Cleopatrabullies]

Read the directions it’s much more helpful he’s using parts that are not in the kit at all

[@TheFiendRacer]

I’m not sure which intake to get this ones cheaper, does the plastic intake tube make a difference or is it the same as the metal one that comes in the other kit?

[@DeltaSierra426]

You mean a difference besides aesthetics? Generally, plastic won't conduct as much heat to the inside of the intake tube, but the series 77 does produce more power than series 63, so intake tube material is probably more of a visual difference than performance. The size and curvature of the tube itself makes a bigger difference in these kind of applications. Use-case will help determine that as well -- repeated runs at a drag track will especially prefer the better-insulated intake tubes.

395 at the engine, when they run the,m on the dyno its HP at the wheels which will always be lower than what the manufacture claims the HP is

[@DeltaSierra426]

For Model Year 2013 and later, yes, at the flywheel. Of course, every dyno is different -- some correct for altitude, temperature, and so on.

[@Electrified_14]

To the crank, 395hp under optimal conditions, air temp, fuel quality, altitude. The drive train normal equates to a 15-30% loss from these number. The number on the dyno sheet are to the wheel, which is a measurement including the losses that the vehicle puts to the ground.

[@AmericanTrucksRam]

A cold air intake like this will include a high flow filter and smoother intake tube, this will allow your motor to draw in more air easier. Kits like this will give you more throttle response and torque on the low end and a little more horsepower on the high end of your RPM band. -Zach
