Boost 2014, 2015 & 2016 Ram 2500/3500 Heavy Duty Pickup 6.4L Hemi V8 Power with K&N Intake
- Sep 10, 2015
Base model 2014, 2015 and 2016 Ram Pickup, formerly known as the Dodge Ram, Heavy Duty 2500 or 3500 trucks are equipped with a standard 5.7L Hemi V8 engine. At the top of the powertrain options list for the 2014-2016 Ram 2500 or 3500 Heavy Duty is the now infamous 6.7L Cummins Diesel L6 engine. However, many 2014-2016 Ram Heavy Duty owners don’t need the stump pulling torque, or the price tag, associated with the Cummins Diesel engine, yet they want more power than what the 5.7L Hemi can offer. For these truck buyers Ram offers a mid-duty Hemi V8 with 6.4-liters of displacement.
The optional mid-duty Hemi 6.4L V8 engine found in 2014-2016 Ram Pickup 2500 & 3500 Heavy Duty models is a pretty capable engine. From the factory the Ram Pickup’s 6.4L Hemi V8 is rated at 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. When compared to the 6.7L Cummins Diesel engine, the 6.4 Hemi makes more horsepower but falls short in terms of torque. Not many gasoline engines can live up to the torque of a massive turbo diesel engine. However, with a little help from a K&N air intake system 6.4L Hemi V8 equipped 2014, 2015 and 2016 Ram Heavy Duty models can narrow the performance gap.
K&N performance air intake systems are designed to reduce the restriction and turbulence associated with the factory air filter box and air intake hose. By reducing restriction and straightening airflow a K&N air intake is able to increase the amount of air available to an engine which helps to free up horsepower and torque. K&N air intake systems are able to reduce restriction and turbulence by replacing factory components with a free flowing air intake tube, high-flow open element air filter, and an application specific air filter heat shield. The K&N performance air intake upgrade for 2014-2016 Ram 2500/3500 pickups with a 6.4L Hemi V8 includes a mandrel-bent aluminum air intake tube covered in a textured black powder coat finish. At the end of the intake tube is a washable K&N high-flow air filter, number RF-1048, designed for superior airflow and superior performance without sacrificing engine protection. Both protecting, and shielding the air filter from engine heat, is an application specific heat shield designed to mount in stock locations. K&N air intake 77-1568KTK includes everything needed for easy installation and a guaranteed bolt-on increase in horsepower.
When dyno tested on a 2015 Ram 3500 6.4L Hemi V8 pickup, K&N air intake 77-1568KTK was shown to produce an estimated 15.5 additional horsepower and 23.9 more lb-ft of torque. This K&N intake system will help Ram Heavy Duty 6.4L Hemi owners further outshine the Cummins 6.7L engine’s horsepower output and bring Hemi performance a little closer in terms of torque. K&N air intake systems are engineered to provide a guaranteed increase in horsepower than you can actually feel. No additional modifications or tuning will be necessary to experience increased performance. K&N high-flow air filters are washable, reusable, and designed to outlive the vehicle they’re installed in. K&N backs its performance air filters and air intake systems with a 10-year/million mile limited warranty to give 2014-2016 Ram 2500/3500 owner’s peace of mind. To further put minds at ease K&N offers a Consumer Protection Pledge which goes as far as to warrant that using K&N products will not result in a vehicle warranty denial. K&N performance air intake system 77-1568KTK is designed to provide a guaranteed increase in horsepower along with a lifetime of service for the following Ram Pickup models: 2016 RAM 3500 6.4L V8 Find additional K&N Ram Pickup performance upgrades, such as K&N air filters and K&N oil filters. |
