Default 5.2L air cleaner size?

I want to replace the stock air cleaner (1995) as it has the hose missing anyway with a after market old school type. Chrome I guess, if that is all that you can get these days. I thought someone may know off the top of their head the diameter size of what the cleaner needs to be. Thanks for any help, or maybe a brand or part number would be great. I thought about a newer version, or just buying a high performance type and putting the OE one from my 00 5.9L RT onto the 4X4 Dak. If that size is the same?

The throttle body end is 5in round, which is the most common size out there and most 4b carbs. The filter size is up to you. I have the K&N air filter with the X-Stream top. 14in x 3in.

i used the hat from a 98 durango 5.9 and a cold air for the second gen with some aluminum dryer duct to make a cold air for myne. i had one like yours crazy and the high engine bay temps were killing my intake air temps. im almost 100 degrees cooler now. and it does make a diff in my mind.
