Engineered specifically for 3rd Generation (2007.5–2009) Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks powered by the 6.7L 24-Valve Cummins turbo diesel, the aFe Power Momentum HD Cold Air Intake System (50-72003) is built for maximum particulate defense under extreme-duty working conditions. The restrictive factory intake tract and baffled air cleaner stifle airflow volume and soak up under-hood heat; the Momentum HD system replaces them with an aerodynamically contoured, one-piece cross-linked polyethylene induction system that delivers cool, dense air charges directly into the Holset variable-geometry turbocharger (VGT).

The core of this system is a massive 1,000 CFM 360-degree radial flow air filter utilizing 10 progressive layers of cleanable cotton gauze media (Pro 10R). Designed specifically for dusty agricultural, off-road, and heavy towing environments, the 10-layer media is reinforced with heavy-duty metal wire mesh to prevent pleat deformation under high vacuum loads. S&B and aFe both prioritize ease of maintenance, and this kit incorporates a patent-pending filter-to-housing interface that locks directly into a one-piece sealed airbox equipped with a clear sight window for fast, tool-free filter inspections.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Capacity 1,000 CFM Airflow: Replaces restrictive factory plumbing to maximize airflow volume, sharpen turbo spool responsiveness, and reduce exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs).
• Pro 10R 10-Layer Oiled Cotton Media: Ten progressively finer layers of pre-oiled cotton gauze deliver maximum cumulative filtration efficiency and extended service intervals in high-dust commercial environments.
• Filter-to-Housing Interface: Patent-pending mechanical interface seats the filter base directly into the one-piece housing with fewer parts, eliminating loose clamps and air bypass.
• One-Piece Thermal Enclosure with Sight Window: Fully enclosed roto-molded XLPE airbox isolates incoming intake air from engine bay radiant heat, featuring an auxiliary air scoop and a built-in clear inspection window.
• Reinforced Metal Filter Mesh: Heavy-duty wire mesh wrap protects the filter structure, preventing media collapse during heavy boost transitions and severe engine loading.
• Premium Clamping & Coupling Hardware: Outfitted with heavy-duty stainless steel T-bolt clamps and a 2-ply reinforced silicone hump coupler designed to absorb engine torque flex while preventing leaks.
• Direct Bolt-On Fitment: Mounts cleanly to factory chassis grommets in under 30 minutes with no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications required.
