Overview

A fully brazed aluminum core carries coolant through the vehicle's heater casing so the HVAC system can warm the cabin. This Spectra unit is made to match the original casing on the listed Ram trucks and is leak tested before it ships.

Choose it when the heater has stopped working and you want a replacement shaped for the original casing. The fit list is split by engine and year, so a mismatch is the easiest way to go wrong. Gaskets and hose fittings are not part of the listing.

Who it's for

A Dodge Ram pickup in the covered model years that needs its heater core replaced. Owners of other makes, or Rams with an engine outside the list, should confirm fit with the Amazon Confirmed Fit tool first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fully brazed aluminum construction
  • Leak tested at the factory
  • Shaped for the OE heater casing
  • Covers several Ram engine options
Cons
  • Fit depends on exact engine and year
  • Gaskets and fittings not listed
  • Dodge Ram trucks only

Performance notes

Brazed aluminum joins the tubes and tanks into one sealed unit. Heat output still depends on coolant flow, so flushing the cooling system during the swap matters.

Frequently asked questions

What size is the Spectra 99331 heater core?

The core is 6-1/4 inches high, 7-3/8 inches wide and 1 inch thick, with a 5/8 inch inlet and a 5/8 inch outlet.

Which Dodge Ram engines does the 99331 cover?

The list includes V6, V8, V10 and L6 engines across the 1500, 2500, 3500, 4000 and 5500 for the years shown in the specs. Match your exact engine and year, because not every year pairs with every engine.

Is the Spectra 99331 a complete heater assembly?

No. The listing names the heater core only, so hoses, clamps and gaskets are not part of what is described.
