2020–2023 RAM EcoDiesel

215020364

Overview:

The PPE Ribbed Flexible Coupler is a high-quality EPDM component designed specifically for the RAM EcoDiesel Zilla Intake Kit, covering model years 2020 through 2023. This coupler serves as a flexible joint within the intake system, providing durability and vibration absorption where rigid connections are unsuitable. Its ribbed design enhances flexibility and strength, making it an essential part for maintaining optimal airflow and system integrity.

While engineered for the RAM EcoDiesel, this coupler is also suitable for other intake applications with compatible dimensions that require a flexible connection. It is ideal for enthusiasts and professionals seeking a reliable, OEM-quality replacement or upgrade part that ensures a secure and adaptable fit within their intake setup.

Key Features:

Built to deliver dependable performance and flexibility, the PPE Ribbed Flexible Coupler offers several key benefits:

• Constructed from durable EPDM rubber for excellent heat and chemical resistance
• Ribbed design enhances flexibility and prevents kinking under pressure or movement
• Provides a vibration-dampening flexible joint to protect intake components
• Compatible with the RAM EcoDiesel Zilla Intake Kit (2020–2023 models)
• Suitable for other intake systems requiring flexible couplers with matching dimensions
• OEM-quality construction ensures long-lasting durability and reliable sealing
• Easy to install with standard clamps or fasteners
• Maintains consistent airflow by preventing leaks and disconnections

Construction & Design:

The coupler is crafted from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, a material known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and various automotive fluids. This ensures the coupler maintains its integrity under the demanding conditions of an engine bay. The ribbed exterior design not only improves flexibility but also reinforces the coupler against collapse or deformation during engine movement or pressure fluctuations.

Engineered with precision to fit the RAM EcoDiesel intake system, the coupler’s dimensions and shape provide a secure, leak-free connection that adapts to slight misalignments without compromising performance. The use of EPDM also contributes to noise reduction by absorbing vibrations transmitted through the intake piping.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation of the PPE Ribbed Flexible Coupler is straightforward and requires no special tools beyond standard hose clamps or fasteners. It is designed to fit seamlessly within the RAM EcoDiesel Zilla Intake Kit for model years 2020 to 2023. Users should verify compatibility with other intake systems by confirming matching dimensions before installation.

The flexible nature of the coupler allows it to accommodate minor variations in alignment and movement, reducing the risk of leaks or disconnections during vehicle operation. This makes it an excellent choice for both OEM replacements and custom intake setups requiring a reliable flexible joint.
