A new-for-the-time 5.7-liter Hemi V8 replaced an aging 5.9-liter V8 on the 2003 Ram 2500 and offered 345-horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. There are also two more engines available including an overhead-cam 4.7-liter V8, which is standard with the 4-wheel-drive model, and a 3.7-liter V6 for the 2-wheel-drive model. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on the 3.7-liter V6 and 4.7-liter V8.

The pickup was available in two cab configurations –- regular and quad. The regular cab is 2-door and the quad is a 4-door pickup that accommodates up to six passengers. There were two bed lengths available including a 6-foot, 3-inch standard bed and an 8-foot long bed. The 2500 came with three trim levels –- the ST, SLT, and Laramie. The ST is the base-trim and includes air conditioning as standard as well as vinyl upholstery, wind-up windows, and manual door locks. The SLT trim includes the 4.7-liter V8 engine as standard along with cloth upholstered interior trim, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a number of convenience items. The Laramie is the luxury package and includes leather seating, dual-zone air conditioning, a premium stereo, 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, and plenty of luxury features.

The 2004 Ram 2500 is designated as a full-size, light-duty pickup. A new full-time four-wheel drive system was offered for this model year that improves traction on slippery roads. The same trim levels were available and a sports trim, an off-road package, and a Work Special package were added. The Laramie trim received an upgrade and new options were added including Bluetooth stereo. The off-road package includes 17-inch aluminum wheels and off-road tires, 3.92:1 rear axle, limited-slip differential, skid plates for the transfer case and front suspension, special shocks, tow hooks, fog lamps, and a heavy-duty cooling system.

The 2003 and 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 body styles include a regular-cab and 4-door quad cab. The payload capacity of the regular cab with dual rear wheels is 4,840 to 5,370 pounds. The payload capacity of the Quad Cab with dual rear wheels has a range of 4,420 to 4,960 pounds, depending on options. All Ram 3500 models except for the Quad Cab with short cargo bed have dual rear wheels.

Two gasoline and two diesel engines were available to power the 3500. The new at the time 5.7-liter Hemi gasoline V8 engine generates 345-horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. A Cummins 5.9-liter turbo-diesel inline-six-cylinder engine delivers 250-horsepower (235-horsepower in California). There is also a high-output diesel engine that offers 305-horsepower and 555 lb-feet of torque.

The AIRAID 302-128 cold air dam air intake system is designed specifically for the 2003 and 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500. The intake has been engineered to provide cooler air to the engine to produce more horsepower and torque. Designed to fit into the original location of the air filter, the air intake features a huge open-element inlet that is protected by cold air dam panels to provide a steady, free-flowing supply of cooler outside air into the engine. The panels mount in the factory air box location and incorporate any factory cold air inlet ducts that are present. The system also adds more cold air passages to the filter. The panels keep the filter isolated from the hot air of the engine compartment because they are sealed to the underside of the hood with blade-style weather stripping.

The intake system includes a 360° tapered AIRAID washable and reusable air filter that is less restrictive than common paper air filters. AIRAID also offers the AIRAID 790-558 air filter cleaning kit that is formulated to clean the filter after 30,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. AIRAID is so sure of the quality of the air intake system, it backs it with a No Hassle Lifetime Warranty.

The AIRAID 302-128 has been designed to fit the following vehicles:

2004 DODGE RAM 3500 PICKUP 5.9L L6 DIESEL

Make Your 3.0L Cadillac SRX Perform More Like a 3.8L SRX with an AIRAID Air Intake System

The AIRAID cold air dam provides a steady, free-flowing supply of cooler outside air to the engine.

The AIRAID cold air dam provides a steady, free-flowing supply of cooler outside air to the engine.

For the 2010 model year, Cadillac introduced an all-new SRX, considerably smaller than the version it replaced (six inches shorter in wheelbase alone). The new SRX was constructed on a unique platform with ties to Epsilon II, tuned specifically to provide the levels of ride and comfort expected from a Cadillac. The V8 engine was dropped from the new platform, and instead two V6 engines were offered.

The 360-degree conical AIRAID filter features non-woven synthetic filter media that is washable and reusable.

The 360-degree conical AIRAID filter features non-woven synthetic filter media that is washable and reusable.

The base engine was GM’s High Feature V6, which features an aluminum engine block and cylinder heads, dual overhead cams with four valves per cylinder, direct fuel Injection, and Variable Valve Timing (VVT).  The other engine option was a 2.8-liter version of the same engine, but turbocharged to produce 300 hp. Slow sales killed the 2.8-liter turbo engine just after two models years and was replaced with a 3.6-liter V6 (again, a High Feature engine) with a 308 horsepower rating.

So, if you find yourself with a 3.0-liter Cadillac SRX in your driveway, or you’re scanning online ads looking to buy one, AIRAID can help fill the horsepower gap between the three-point-oh and the more powerful engines. The answer comes in the form of the AIRAID 252-261C cold air dam intake.

The 252-261C AIRAID cold air dam (CAD) is designed utilizing extensive computer modeling to maintain proper mass air flow readings and calibration, as well as giving your engine larger amounts of cooler air with which it can produce more horsepower and torque. The cold air dam panels mount in the stock air box location and install easily with only simple hand tools.

The 360-degree conical AIRAID premium dry air filter features non-woven synthetic filter media and is washable and reusable. Further, the synthetic media is less restrictive than traditional paper elements and assures excellent filtration. To maximize performance, clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for normal driving, or more often for off-road and heavy dust conditions with the AIRAID premium dry filter cleaning solution, 790-558.

The 252-261C AIRAID cold air dam system is backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty. If you are ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship or performance of this air filter, just give us a call at 800-498-6951 and we will be happy to assist you. You don’t have to worry about a warranty card. AIRAID filters are warranted for life.

AIRAID Air Intake System 252-261C will fit the following Cadillac SRX models:

2011 CADILLAC SRX 3.0L
2010 CADILLAC SRX 3.0L

2004-2005 Duramax Diesels Can Make More Power with an AIRAID MXP Air Intake System

AIRAID engineers utilize CAD design and 3D scanning technologies to develop all MXP air intake systems. This ensures a smooth flow of air into your engine.

AIRAID engineers utilize CAD design and 3D scanning technologies to develop all MXP air intake systems. This ensures a smooth flow of air into your engine.

The Chevrolet/GMC Duramax LLY is a 6,599 cc (402.7 CID) turbocharged diesel V8 engine that debuted in mid-2004 and continued to be available in select Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks until the end of 2005.

Installation of the 202-229 MXP air intake system on an LLY Duramax is both professional-looking and purposeful.

Installation of the 202-229 MXP air intake system on an LLY Duramax is both professional-looking and purposeful.

The LLY Duramax features four valves per cylinder in aluminum cylinder heads and iron block. To lower emissions, GM installed a newly developed variable geometry vane Garrett turbocharger. Bore and Stroke are close to square, at 4.06 in (103 mm) x 3.90 in (99 mm) respectably, indicating the intent of co-developer Isuzu and GM for the engine to be as tractable on the highway as off. The 2004-2005 Duramax LLY produced 305 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque.

The very next year, GM introduced the upgraded LBZ engine which produced 360 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, a significant improvement over the LLY. Owners of an LLY-powered Sierra or Silverado can make up some of that horsepower and torque with AIRAID MXP air intake system 202-229.

The AIRAID MXP air intake system represents the ultimate application of AIRAID’s cold air induction technology. The system delivers higher levels of horsepower and improved acceleration for Duramax LLY-powered Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/3500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD models.

The entire 202-229 system is designed using extensive computer modeling to maintain proper mass air flow readings and calibration. Part of the magic is the replacement one-piece roto-molded air box that addresses all the shortcomings of the restrictive factory design.

Another critical factor is the AIRAID premium air filter that’s housed inside the air box providing outstanding air flow and filtration through its reusable, dry, non-woven synthetic filter media. Clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for normal driving, or more often for off-road and heavy dust conditions with the AIRAID premium dry filter cleaning solution 790-558.

Incoming cold air from outside the vehicle is directed through a new air intake tube with smooth, low-restriction walls thanks to its construction of cross-linked, high-density polyethylene.  This MXP air intake system also has provisions for the factory mass air sensor and filter minder gauge, so there’s no need to recalibrate your truck’s ECU.

Installation is of the AIRAID 202-229 cold air intake is straightforward and simple, with highly-detailed instructions. You need only a few basic hand tools and around an hour and a half to increase the power and responsiveness of your LLY-powered Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/3500HD or GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD truck.

And something not all cold air intake system manufacturers can claim, the 202-229 AIRAID MXP air intake system is street legal in all US states with CARB EO number: D-609-18.

The 202-229 MXP air intake system is backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty, which is simple. If you are ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship, or performance of this air filter, just give us a call at 800-498-6951 and we will be happy to assist you. You don’t have to worry about a warranty card. AIRAID filters are warranted for life.
