Mopar’s “Ram Airflow” Cold-Air Intake System For Ram 1500:

That's why I'm glad I bought a "Topside Creeper" years ago to work on my trucks. Saves my back and especially my chest from leaning on the Radiator shroud!

I had to Google, topside creeper to understand how to use that thing. That's genius.

Yeah, I don't know what I'd do without it! It came in real handy years back when I need to do some engine maintenance on a lifted truck I had at the time. It made installing the RAM airflow a breeze... AND, I am seeing a +2mpg increase in the past month!

I generally just get in sideways and put my stomach on the plastic face down...

I didn't know this was a thing.

I'm a little concerned about googling "topside creeper" with safe search turned off.

Anybody make a decal for the big RAM on the radiator top shroud?


I had (still do, but now it's hidden) one for the HEMI on the OEM intake cover.


Can't remember who I got it from but I think a vendor here ... ???

I'm sure you could make you own.
Just get some colored vinyl and an exacto knife.

I'm no good at that kind of thing :-(

For those who mentioned cutting the radiator top shroud....I though the kit came with a new top piece so you avoid having to do that?

It does, not sure where that suggestion is coming from.

 

[deeve]

OK...there have been sever posts throughout this thread mentioning that. Perhaps an earlier version didn't come with the shroud?

Wasn’t that for the Vararam?

 

[deeve]

Oh, you might be right. I just went back and looked at the most recent post and it was Vararam.

 

[HSKR R/T]

It does, not sure where that suggestion is coming from.

Because there was discussion about the Vararam here as well

Mine came with a new top piece.


Used the original holes and clips, even had sticker for A/C refrigerant, correct square hole for windshield washer fluid, other holes and cutouts in correct places, etc.

... my truck will sound nicer...

I haven't checked but I bet my gas mileage has dropped, I have become addicted to that engine roar past half-throttle and can't keep my foot out of it

I wondered about that since I installed mine after my GT exhaust. I can’t hear it over the exhaust bark.

In case anybody is wondering if the oil fill is still easily accessible……


Just need a long tube funnel which I already used anyway.

May be easier and look better just to buy a paint pen and color in the RAM. Give the letters a light sanding with 220 and buy a color matched paint pen from Mopar
