My personal opinion, just go with these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...model/ram-1500 and save yourself $30. You aren't going to notice a lick of difference between the two.

It took me 3-4 trips to my salvage yard over a year's time before I could find a factory intake that was the right one, and wasn't all busted up or cracked. Terrible design, imo.
Also, I'll be the one to recommend OEM spark plugs, wires, cap/rotor, and pcv valve.
It would be a good time for fluid changes all around, including a radiator flush and power steering flush.
For the transmission fluid and filter, I used a vacuum pump and stuck a tube down the dipstick to pull several quarts out before dropping the pan. Worked incredibly well. So well, that I didn't even install the drain plug in the pan that I bought. I'll be doing it this way from now on...
Power steering fluid flush is easy. Buy a few quarts of PS fluid, and a cheap turkey baster. Jack up the front of the truck so the front tires are in the air an inch or so. With engine off, use turkey baster to draw dirty fluid from reservoir, then fill reservoir with fresh fluid. Start truck. Cycle steering wheel lock to lock 10-20 times. Shut truck off. Draw out dirty fluid. Add new fluid. ... rinse and repeat until the fluid comes out clean! Mark the turkey baster so it can't wind up in the kitchen.

Google showed me your studs. Or you could just call the parts store and have them look it up.
