2020 RAM Promaster City Air Filter in Albuquerque, NM

The engine air filter on the 2020 Ram Promaster City is inside a rectangular housing in the engine bay near the front passenger side of the 2.4L inline‑4 intake.

On the Promaster City the 2.4L inline‑4 has the intake and filter housing accessible from the top of the engine compartment. The housing uses a clip or screw fastener for easy access on models without heavy trim panels. Technicians inspect the housing seal and intake boot for tears when replacing the element.

• Located in the engine compartment, front passenger side near the intake.
• Housed in a rectangular plastic box with clips or screws.
• Service includes checking intake boot and MAF sensor area for debris.

The cabin air filter on the 2020 Ram Promaster City is typically located behind the glove box inside the passenger compartment.

Access usually requires lowering or removing the glove box liner to reach the filter tray. Because the cabin filter handles pollen and dust from Albuquerque’s dry, dusty conditions, technicians verify the seal and frame during replacement to prevent unfiltered air bypassing the element.

• Found behind the glove box in the passenger compartment.
• Glove box removal or lowering gives access to the filter tray.
• Technician inspects the frame, seals, and HVAC inlet for debris.

The engine air filter protects the 2.4L engine’s intake for combustion, while the cabin air filter protects passengers and the HVAC system from dust, pollen, and particulates.

The engine filter prevents dirt from entering the combustion chamber, supporting the Promaster City’s 178 hp output and fuel efficiency. The cabin filter stops airborne irritants from entering the passenger compartment and helps maintain HVAC airflow and odor control.

• Engine filter: blocks debris from the intake to protect engine components.
• Cabin filter: filters pollen, dust, and particulates for passenger comfort.
• Both filters should be inspected; replacement addresses performance and air quality.

Common signs include reduced engine responsiveness, a drop in fuel economy, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, or a musty odor in the cabin.

Because the Promaster City operates in Albuquerque’s dusty environment, filters can become restricted more quickly. Technicians will measure airflow and inspect filter media, intake ducting, and the HVAC evaporator area when these symptoms appear.

• Engine: reduced power, sluggish acceleration, or lower MPG.
• Cabin: weak HVAC airflow, unusual odors, or increased dust inside the vehicle.
• Service checks include the intake housing and visual MAF sensor inspection.
