Product Description
MOPAR 68290470AA INTAKE MANIFOLD COVER WITH HEATER GRID FOR 07.5-24 DODGE RAM WITH 6.7L CUMMINS ENGINE
Restore reliable cold-weather starting performance and maintain proper air intake efficiency with the genuine Mopar 68290470AA Intake Manifold Cover with Heater Grid for 2007.5-2024 Dodge Ram and Ram trucks equipped with the legendary 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel engine. This OEM intake manifold plenum cover assembly features an integrated heater grid designed to warm incoming intake air during cold starts, improving combustion efficiency and engine startup performance in low-temperature conditions.
The Mopar 68290470AA intake manifold cover is engineered to withstand the extreme heat cycles and high electrical loads common in heavy-duty diesel applications. Over time, factory heater grids can fail due to repeated thermal expansion and amperage demand, causing hard starts, rough idle conditions, intake heater codes, or poor cold-weather drivability. This genuine Mopar replacement restores factory functionality and reliable operation.
Manufactured to strict OEM specifications, this direct-fit intake manifold heater assembly delivers factory-quality fitment, proper electrical operation, and long-term durability. The assembly integrates seamlessly into the factory intake system without modification and is compatible with select Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 trucks.
This updated Mopar intake manifold cover replaces previous part number 68002431AB and is designed for dependable performance under towing, commercial hauling, and severe-duty diesel operating conditions.
