2014 Ram C/V Tradesman Air Filter

The engine air filter is located in the engine bay inside the plastic air intake box at the front of the vehicle.

On the 2014 Ram C/V Tradesman the air filter sits in the airbox that feeds the 3.6L V6 intake; it is accessed from the engine compartment without entering the passenger cabin. Locating it in the airbox keeps debris out of the intake tract and protects the mass airflow sensor.

• Located inside the engine bay airbox near the front of the vehicle.
• Accessed via clips or a few fasteners on the airbox cover.
• Inspect the intake housing and MAF sensor when replacing the filter.

The cabin air filter on the 2014 Ram C/V Tradesman is located behind the glove box on the passenger side.

Accessing the cabin filter typically requires lowering or removing the glove box panel to reach the HVAC intake housing. Replacing the cabin filter restores airflow to the HVAC system and reduces dust and pollen entering the passenger compartment—important for Albuquerque’s dry and dusty conditions.

• Found behind the glove box on the passenger side.
• Often requires glove-box removal or opening to reach the housing.
• Replace if you notice reduced HVAC airflow or odors in the cabin.

The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system.

For the 2014 Ram C/V Tradesman the engine filter protects the 3.6L V6 and maintains fuel economy and power, while the cabin filter improves interior air quality by trapping dust, pollen, and particulates. They serve separate systems and should be inspected and replaced independently.

• Engine filter protects the intake and engine performance.
• Cabin filter protects occupants and HVAC components.
• Both should be checked after heavy dust exposure or long highway miles.

Common signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, rough idle for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.

On a 2014 Ram C/V Tradesman the 3.6L V6 may feel sluggish or hesitate under load if the engine filter is restricted. For the cabin filter you’ll notice reduced ventilation, louder blower motor operation, or stale smells—symptoms that affect comfort and safety in Albuquerque’s dusty environment.

• Cabin: reduced airflow, odors, or increased dust inside the vehicle.
