S&B Intake Elbow

1998–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 5.9L Diesel

Part #: 76-1007

Overview

The S&B Intake Elbow is a precision-engineered upgrade designed specifically for the 1998–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 equipped with the 5.9L 24-valve Cummins diesel engine. This intake elbow replaces the factory component to reduce airflow restrictions, allowing your engine to breathe more efficiently. By improving airflow, it enhances turbocharger spool response and helps lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), contributing to better overall engine performance and longevity.

Ideal for diesel enthusiasts and owners looking to optimize their truck’s power delivery and reliability, the S&B Intake Elbow is a straightforward yet effective modification that complements other performance upgrades.

Key Features

Engineered to maximize airflow and durability, the S&B Intake Elbow offers several key benefits:

• Designed to minimize airflow restriction for improved engine breathing
• Enhances turbocharger spool for quicker boost response
• Helps reduce exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) for safer operation
• Precision fitment for 24-valve 5.9L Cummins engines from 1998 to 2002
• Durable construction built to withstand harsh diesel operating conditions
• Direct bolt-on replacement for easy installation without modifications
• Compatible with stock and aftermarket intake systems

Construction & Design

The S&B Intake Elbow is crafted from high-quality materials engineered to endure the demanding environment of diesel engine bays. Its smooth internal surface reduces turbulence and airflow resistance, ensuring a consistent and efficient air path to the turbocharger. The design maintains OEM mounting points and dimensions, guaranteeing a secure fit and reliable sealing with the intake system.

Manufactured with precision, this elbow resists cracking and warping under heat and pressure, providing long-lasting performance and durability.

Performance & Sound

By improving airflow and turbo spool, the S&B Intake Elbow contributes to a more responsive throttle and enhanced engine efficiency. While primarily focused on performance gains, it may also subtly enhance the intake sound, offering a more aggressive induction note without excessive noise.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and designed to be a direct replacement for the factory intake elbow on 1998–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 5.9L 24-valve Cummins diesel engine. No cutting, drilling, or additional modifications are required, making it an accessible upgrade for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

Ensure compatibility with your engine’s valve configuration before installation, as this elbow fits only the 24-valve 5.9L Cummins models.
