• Built-in functional ram air tunnel for direct cold air intake
• Compatible with major aftermarket air intake systems such as Airaid and K&N
• Utilizes factory hinges and striker for straightforward installation
• Smooth gel coat finish on both top and underside for easier paint prep
• Hand-laid high-quality fiberglass and resin construction for durability

• Designed to replace the factory hood with enhanced airflow capabilities

Construction & Design

The Amerihood Functional Ram Air Hood is crafted from premium hand-laid fiberglass and resin, providing a strong yet lightweight structure. The manufacturing process ensures a smooth gel coat finish on both the exterior and interior surfaces, which simplifies the painting process and reduces preparation time. The hood is engineered to fit precisely using the original factory hinges and latch, preserving the factory alignment and ease of use.

The integrated ram air tunnel is molded directly into the hood design, creating a dedicated pathway for cold air to enter the engine bay. This thoughtful engineering enhances airflow without compromising the hood’s structural integrity or aesthetics. Aluminum wire mesh grill inserts are included where applicable to protect the intake area while maintaining airflow.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Amerihood Functional Ram Air Hood is designed to be as straightforward as possible by utilizing your vehicle’s existing factory hinges and latch mechanisms. However, this hood is not a simple bolt-on replacement; it requires careful dry fitting and hand-finishing to ensure proper alignment and a flawless paint finish. It is recommended to test fit the hood before performing any prep or painting work.

Due to the custom nature of the ram air tunnel and the gel coat finish, professional installation and paint preparation are advised to achieve the best results. This hood fits Dodge Ram 3500 models from 2010 to 2018, providing a direct replacement that enhances both performance and appearance.
