How's it going everybody Rob here at etrailer.com. And today we're taking a look at the PTC custom fit engine air filter on our 2013 Ram 2500. Now I do want to start off by mentioning that our Ram 2500 has the Hemi 5.7 liter in it. So this air filter is made for the V8 gasoline engine.Checking and changing your filter and keeping it clean, making sure it's in working order is going to make sure that our truck gives us the best performance and fuel economy that we can get, because our filter is going to be filtering all the air going into the engine. So if it does become dirty or clogged, the airflow is not going to be able to get through. Again, robbing the engine of the power and economy that we want to get out of it.
Not to mention, if we do have a filter that starts to get clogged, we're definitely going to be losing power and it's not going to have the air flow to get through. Plus if we do have pieces of debris that does get through and it cause a lot of damage once it gets into the engine itself.Now, a lot of new vehicles have a reminder on the dash, reminder to change your oil, maybe another fuel light to let you know that you're getting low on fuel. So remembering to change your filter might not be that easy, but the manufacturer does recommend checking it or changing it about every 12 to 18,000 miles, but you can check your owner's manual for a more specific time. And I know we've all been at the service center where we're getting an oil change, something else maybe, and they offered to replace our filter for us.Well that's all fine and well, but there's really no reason to pay anybody to do it, especially in on a Ram. It only takes a few minutes and there's no tools involved.
In fact, we have our new filter here, so we can set it aside for now and we can check our old filter and if it is dirty, we can put it in place.So the first thing you want to do is open the hood and come over to the passenger side. We're going to find a big black box and we'll have a tab on the front two tabs towards the passenger side fender and then one more right by the firewall on the backside of the box. All of these are going to flip open.And then when I grabbed the edge of the box, kind of lift up a little bit and push towards the engine just slightly. And I'll unhook these tabs here and going to reach in. I'm going to pull the filter out.
Now already, you can already see that our filter is pretty dirty. It's starting to change color actually, so it's not that bright white anymore. And if we open up the pleats, we can see it's catching a little bit larger debris, which is a good thing, because we don't want any of this to get inside the engine bay.So we'll set our old filter aside and putting the new one in is easy as just orienting it the right way, dropping it in the box. And then these tabs here, again, we kind of want to push towards the engine so it's a little bit past where it needs to go. And we'll just slide it in place and get the clips back and gauged and we're ready to go.But it really is that simple.
Again, no reason to pay anybody to do it for you. You saw how simple it was, matter of a minute or two. You can have it changed and you're back on the road. But again, I'm Rob here at etrailer.com and that'll finish up your look at the PTC custom fit engine air filter on our 2013 Ram 2500..

Worked as it should
well made filter but not as much surface area in paper pleating compared to oem.
Good Business
This is the correct filter for my vehicle - exactly what I ordered. Delivery took so long that I started to doubt that the order had gone through. I got tired of waiting and bought one locally and installed it. I’ll use this one in the future so it all worked out.
My package arrived in ok condition! Way to much much room to be shaken and be destroyed. Luckily mine arrived ok. Some of the original packaging was dented and deformed do to over sized box! I got lucky!
High quality, fits perfectly.
Excellent filter, unbelievable value! Will purchase from etrailer.com again.
Fit was great and no issues.
I think my orders were handled very professionally.
And I found that I could easily track my orders .
Keep up the good work

Reasonable priced,easy ordering on webs ite
Looks like good quality, but the car is new and I haven't installed it yet.
I clearly identified my vehicle as a 2000 Mercedes Benz E320. The air filters (3) which you sent me are the right width, but are an inch too long, and are therefore unusable. They cannot be made to fit in the air cleaner compartment. Not acceptable.
Exactly as advertised and fast shipment.
Easy to find product when entering vehicle details. Quick shipping
The filter looks fine and the price was right.
Can’t believe that they shipped this in the same box as a heavy B&W pintal hitch, kinda smashed the filter
Great price, quick shipping. Installed it and it works great.
Best price I could find and fast shippi ng!
