Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-RAM-03KBK is a purpose-built forced induction intercooler kit engineered specifically for the 2003-2007 Dodge 5.9L Cummins. This isn’t a universal piece of induction hardware — every component, from the bar-and-plate core to the mandrel-bent aluminum piping, is sized and shaped to bolt directly into the Cummins engine bay while dramatically improving airflow and cutting intake air temperatures.
At the heart of this forced induction system is a black, aluminum bar-and-plate core paired with cast aluminum end tanks that are strategically shaped for optimal airflow rather than repurposed off-the-shelf tanks. Feeding that core is a set of mandrel-bent, polished aluminum intercooler pipes that eliminate the restrictive bends found in factory piping, while Mishimoto’s silicone couplers with DuraCore technology resist heat, pressure, fuel, and oil far better than standard rubber hose. Whether you’re chasing lower EGTs for towing or simply want your induction system to keep pace with added boost, this kit is designed to support the 5.9L Cummins at any power level.
Vehicle Applications
This kit is a direct, specific fit for the 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks powered by the 5.9L Cummins inline-six.
