Awesome thanks! So glad I bought a his filter and u uploaded this easy install video! Was worried I’d have to go at it alone on my new truck and screw something up badly! Since I’m doing my catch can at the same time this will be a breeze! Thanks again and keep up the good work!

[@TheHellyeah1982]

I JUST DID THE INSTALLATION ON MY RAM, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US HOW TO PUT IT TOGETHER ...

[@benlawrence4619]

Did the sensor extender come in the box with it they don’t show that in the video

[@papuu4149]

Just installed mines 0 issue at all 🤙🏻

Just bout a 2020 kit from rough country. This video is so much harder than the newer kit from you guys.

[@mark870il]

Well I took a chance and got this kit. I can't use the main airflow tube from the filter. I could not use the rubber hose as it just split when I finally got it on to clamp. I had to use my factory airtube from filter and still am not sure what to attach the oil vent too with the setup I had to use just to get it in. One shouldn't have to bend anything new to make it fit together. Airflow tube assembly took up some time putting it together only to find out it was made improper and is too short to use. Rubber gromet to place in oxygen sensor was too small for the hole it was to go in, so after I put in in, it would jump all around. End result is probably put factory system back in and wait to but a better quality setup. 2014 Ram 1500 Express Hemi

I’m glad I finally found a comment of someone having the same problems I had. My runner hose split every time I tried putting it on the, I had to use the little factory tube and kept it on the vent tube and clamped that down. Lastly this video never shows the vent tube being cut so my tube rubber tube didn’t coil properly so it’s caused the truck to whistle. Finally I got smart and looked at the rough country site and apparently it was supposed to be cut. I’m not saying this video made that cut but if so it would’ve been nice to have known. 😅

[@stmpdogg]

​@@stupidswag0the video doesn't show the "cut of 11 inches" of the vent tube, it was driving me insane. Missed that page the first time

[@stupidswag0]

@@stmpdogg exactly, did it cause yours to let air thru as well?

[@MISTERBOUSE]

Did not include the cut at 11’ for the breather hose. Will bend the included hose once installed and cause flow restriction.

[@ahdor8966]

Appreciate the video, the bolts that come for/with the clamps are straight junk, 2 bolts broke on me and I had to go but some heavy duty ones for almost 9$ a pop. Other than that this tutorial was perfect!

[@mark870il]

I also had 1 of mine just snap off that threw a wrench in the install prep

[@sandman7167]

With all due respect. I haven’t been able to connect my main tube to the air box. It just isn’t long enough. I have to convert back to my oem. If you added about 1 inch it would work.

[@ianmills3729]

can you tell me the size of the plastic hose fitting that you have to thread in there, mine broke and I would like to replace it with a metal or at least better quality one

[@caiomarcelo]

Same process for the non-classic body ? (DT - new body style) 2019+, 5.7 hemi non etorq

[@shibandrada3289]

What size is that little white plastic piece that connects the hose? I had some vandalism done to my vehicle and they stole my RC cold air intake kit.

[@benlawrence4619]

Does the sensor extender come in the box

[@yamipizza8357]

Is it possible to have the Mishimoto Oil Catch Can and this Rough Country Cold Air Intake installed at the same time? Like is the CAI gonna take up too much room so that the Catch Can won't fit?

[@HoseG96]

I have a flowmaster cai that seems to be the exact size as this rough country cai. And I was able to install a mishimoto oil catch can without any issues

[@yamipizza8357]

@@HoseG96 thanks for the info.

[@tlw3889]

after the install you did not put the engine cover back on does it not fit with the rough country cold air intake. I will be installing this on my 2012 ram just curious as to why you didn't put engine cover back on hopefully I will be able to put cover back on. . ?

[@clutches6954]

It doesn’t fit with it sticking out so much I just got done installing mine I was thing about cutting the cover to fit but idk what I will end up doing

[@tlw3889]

@@clutches6954 he installed the vacuum hose directly I tried that but it was kinked too much so I used the 90 degree elbow that came with the kit and it lowered the hose to where it wasn’t kinked and the engine cover went back on like it was supposed too. Thx for the reply

[@victorchiprez22]

Hello love ram 4x4 5.7 love

[@MrDjmurdock]

What makes this one so much cheaper then the k&n just the filter?

[@bmeach4940]

It doesn't have K&N on it😆

[@Crob92]

@@bmeach4940 kind of a silly question but will the performance be as good or should I just go with a K&N? I haven't been able to find anything on either was thinking this one or the 63 * K&N system. 200 bucks or 400 I feel the 400 price point should be better but I have no clue .

[@bmeach4940]

@@Crob92 I'd get the S&B 75-5106. It gets good reviews. I doubt you will notice any difference in performance from any of these.

[@DeliberateNRandom]

I just got mine. Lots of good reviews online, but it seems like it's built fairly poorly. Scratches in the finish, gaps where holes weren't drilled properly, instructions said to use lock washers that didn't fit on those bolts, vent opening doesn't line up properly, just seems like it's meant for a different vehicle. The instructions are poor and done in a different order than you did, but the way you did it makes more sense. I'm going to hold onto the OEM air box if I need to swap it out.

[@DeliberateNRandom]

Also, they wanted you to cut your hose instead of just putting the extension on, but I like that idea, because I don't want to cut anything. Thanks for that! Should be fine, because they have mini universal cone filters for the breather instead of that, I've used them before.

[@lincoln6981]

Just installed mine. Started it up , idles fine. Took it for a quick drive everything was good. Parked somewhere to turn it off for a moment. Started it back up and the check engine light came on. Checked my work , tubes and hoses secured. Sensor secure. I don’t have access to check the codes because it’s late at night but does anyone have any ideas what it might be? Or has anyone experienced the same thing. Ok update. The code is p0113 intake air temp sensor 1 circuit high bank 1. I don’t get it ? Thought it was just plug and play ? Did a hard reset overnight too hoping it’ll reset everything but light keeps coming back on after starting up again after a drive cycle

[@williammartineau3601]

Same issue. With the crankcase vent tube connecting after the filter but before the IAT, I believe the tiny bit of contaminated air is causing it to foul. If you've found a solution since this post, please share.

[@lincoln6981]

@@williammartineau3601 yeah I figured it out. So turned out the sensor adaptor that came with the kit wasn’t welded right. Where the wire connects with the connector. It was loose so didn’t make good contact. Had to reweld it. After that it was all good

[@jasond5807]

I don't have much faith when they don't use washers at all in an install video.

“Cold air intake” that draws air from under the hood. SMH

You made a mistake then fixed it but didn’t show the mistake. You put the couplers on the wrong ends so when I went to install it wasn’t working you might want to include the mistakes you made very misleading.
