Banks Power 19-21 Dodge Ram 6.7L Ram-Air Intake System - Dry Filter - 42279-D

The Banks Power Ram-Air Intake System (Part# 42279-D) is a direct-fit cold air intake designed specifically for the 2019–2021 Dodge Ram 6.7L Cummins diesel. Engineered to replace the restrictive factory airbox, this dry-filter intake system feeds your Cummins engine cooler, denser outside air for improved pulling power and fuel economy. If you're looking for one of the most impactful first modifications for your Ram 2500 or 3500 diesel, the Banks Ram-Air intake is a well-regarded starting point.

Key Features & Benefits

• Ram-Air Design for Cooler, Denser Intake Charge: The system draws outside air — rather than hot underhood air — delivering a cooler, denser charge to the Cummins engine, which supports sustained pulling power and improved fuel efficiency under load.
• Eliminates Factory Airflow Restrictions: The Banks Ram-Air intake is engineered to eliminate airflow restrictions found in the stock intake system, allowing the engine to breathe more freely and respond more efficiently.
• Dry Filter Included: This kit ships with a dry-style air filter (as opposed to an oiled filter), making maintenance straightforward — no oiling required between service intervals, and no risk of over-oiling affecting sensors.
• Designed for the 6.7L Cummins: Purpose-built fitment for the 2019–2021 Ram 6.7L platform means no universal-fit guesswork — components are designed to integrate with existing factory mounting points and ducting.
• Straightforward Installation: Reported by owners to install in approximately 20 minutes with components that fit perfectly, making this an accessible upgrade even for those new to DIY modifications.
• Not CARB Legal: This intake is a performance part and is not CARB legal. It is not intended for sale or use in California, making it suitable for off-road use or states without California emissions standards.
