Hi there
I bot a 2000 Dodge ram 1500 5.9L 360 Laramie sport I want to buy a cold air intake but don't now what one to buy can someone help please?

 

Best to leave your stock air box in place and install a K&N air filter. This will outflow the bulk of the popular aftermarket cold air intakes hands-down.

 

This type of question will start a lot of arguments I personally run a spectre 14x3 on mine, absolutely love it!

 

Another 14x3 ram air setup that works well is available from these folks:

My truck came with an Airaid cold air intake.
What a joke.
Piece of pipe with a filter attached to it. Sucking hot air from under the hood. Stupid.
I tossed it and installed a stock box and K&N. Now the engine gets cold air from the grill.
I believe this to be way better than the **** that was on there.

 

Had a Spectre CAI on mine and just switched it out for a Spectre 14x3 filter. I personally like the 14x3 better because it sounds awesome and I have more room in the engine bay.

 

+1 for the exact same thing! Phil didnt you ask me about all that?

 

Yes sir! Thanks for the recommendation and the help!

 

Best intake to buy for the money? The stock one.

Then put the money in the engine in the form of a proper tune up, O2 sensors, plenum gasket repair, etc. More power, better economy, nicer running engine this way. If you've already done all those things, move on to drive line fluid changes.

Sorry, didn't exactly answer your question, but I had a "Cold Air" Intake for a couple years and it didn't really help anything.

 

On these trucks, a cold air intake really doesn't do anything. The stock intake is already drawing cold air from the fender. Exactly the same place most of the aftermarket fellers get air from. You *might* see a bit of improvement in the higher RPM range, from the slightly better flow you may get from a CAI.... but, that's about the only benefit.
