Dacall activated carbon cabin air filter CF11671 fit RAM 1500–5500 (2016–2025) — reinforced honeycomb beads, rigid frame

The Dacall CF11671 is an activated carbon cabin air filter engineered to trap odors, particles and pollutants while maintaining airflow for RAM trucks, Jeep Wagoneer models and Mazda CX-7 vehicles listed.

Designed as an OEM-standard replacement, this cabin filter uses reinforced honeycomb carbon beads inside a rigid, non-foldable frame to improve in-cabin air quality without collapsing or creasing during installation. It’s compatible with a wide range of RAM 1500–5500 model years, Jeep Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer variants, and Mazda CX-7 vehicles. The filter installs with the blue side facing incoming air and the black carbon side toward the blower or cabin outlet; following that orientation helps ensure the activated carbon layer works as intended to reduce odors and airborne contaminants.

How does the reinforced honeycomb carbon design help my vehicle?

The honeycomb structure stabilizes the carbon bead media so the filter retains its shape under airflow and service handling. Reinforcement prevents common folding or creasing that reduces filtration efficiency, and the carbon beads provide adsorption for odors and certain gaseous pollutants.

• Durable, non-foldable frame reduces installation damage
• Honeycomb carbon beads increase surface area for adsorption
• Proper orientation (blue air side to incoming air) preserves performance
• Recommended replacement interval: every 12,000 miles or 12 months

Which vehicles will this cabin filter fit and how can I confirm fitment?

Dacall lists this CF11671 filter as compatible with many RAM trucks, Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models, plus Mazda CX-7 model years shown. Because variations and production changes happen, always confirm fitment against your vehicle’s year and part references before purchase.

• RAM 1500 (2016–2025), 1500 Classic (2019–2024), 2500/3500 (2016–2025), 4500 (2016–2023), 5500 (2016–2024)
• Jeep Wagoneer / Grand Wagoneer and L variants (2022–2025 depending on model)
• Mazda CX-7 (2007–2012)
• Cross-check with seller’s Confirmed Fit tool and OEM part numbers listed

Will swapping to this filter affect HVAC performance or fuel economy?

A clean, properly sized cabin filter reduces strain on the HVAC blower and helps maintain designed airflow, which can lead to steadier temperature delivery and quieter operation. While any single maintenance item has a modest effect on fuel economy, reducing HVAC workload contributes to overall system efficiency.

• Cleaner filters reduce blower resistance and noise
• Faster cabin heating or cooling due to better airflow
• Supports gradual improvements in HVAC energy use and comfort
• Replace per interval to preserve benefits

How do I identify the right replacement and install it correctly?

Match OEM part numbers and vehicle compatibility; the Dacall CF11671 replaces common numbers like 68406048AA and EG21-61-P11. Install with the blue side toward incoming air and the black carbon side facing the blower or cabin outlet. Avoid bending or creasing the filter when fitting into the housing.

• Compare listed OEM part numbers before purchase
• Orientation: blue side to incoming air, black carbon toward blower
• Do not fold, crease, or force the frame during installation
• Service interval: approximate 12,000 miles or 12 months

Who is this for: Drivers who own compatible RAM 1500/2500/3500/4500/5500 trucks, Jeep Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer SUVs, or Mazda CX-7 vehicles and want an OEM-sized activated carbon cabin filter that resists deformation, reduces odors, and helps their HVAC run more smoothly. It’s suited to maintenance-minded owners, fleet vehicles, and anyone replacing a worn or ineffective factory cabin filter who prefers a reinforced, carbon-based media for improved in-cabin comfort.
