Hey y’all. I’m looking to buy a cabin air filter access door for my 2010 so I can actually keep dust from getting blown into the cab. If anyone’s got a spare one that would fit like a 2016, let me know how much you’d want for it!

For the Filter itself, think about
FRAM® Fresh Breeze cabin air filter is the only cabin air filter that uses the natural deodorizing properties of ARM & HAMMER™ baking soda.

Other brands have HEPA filters
or
Charcoal filters

Earlier years didn't not come with the filter nor the cutout and door, although they can be added.

Thanks, Didn't know that about the FRAM® Fresh Breeze.

Should point out that the charcoal filters definitely reduce airflow, I tried one, was terrible.

My 2016 Ram did not come with a Cabin Air Filter, it did not even have the Door to access it.
My Ram was built in December 2015 !!

The Rams built in 2016, may have the Door already installed, you just had to remove the door to install a Filter

I bought a kit from the Dodge Dealership & they cut the HVAC box for it to fit & they installed it.

Later i found out, that GENO's Garage sells the kit


Then there are several YouTube videos on how to cut the HVAC unit, to fit the door

................................................................
now the kits are available from several sources

Neither did my 2016, Oct 2015 build. They started coming out with the door, but no filter, around the 3rd qtr. 2016 (I forget the date). Shortly after that they started to come with the filter.
