Would This IC Work On Our Trucks?

[k_williams1982]

I haven't been on here much lately due to working, but I found this on CL tonight and wondering if you guys think it might be big enough to work on our trucks? Clicky... Intercooler

I am not sure how easy it would be because of how narrow it is and with those outlets pointing straight out like that. Maybe you could mount it with the outlets on the bottom and mount it low enough that they would stick under the core support, with the diesel core support that is pretty low though. If you were good with a TIG you could always just move the outlets. It's a really good price as long as there are no leaks or anything. I am sure it could be made to work, it just depends on how much work you are wanting to do.

Nice lookin intercooler. The size of it seems awful tight for using in our trucks. You may wanna call Behr first. Their info: 4500 Leeds Ave # 101, North Charleston, SC - (843) 745-1233
Find out what the application for this intercooler is first.
I would suggest measuring an intercooler out of a 2000 ford and then compare before making your decision

I don't think it is near as wide as the radiator; measure your radiator.

You could orient it such that both inlet and outlet were on the right side of the radiator and use a cross-over on the outlet, much the same as the cross-over on the non-I/C Cummins, except that it would actually work out much better, seeing as how the intake on the IDI is located top-center of the engine.

The outlet tube would pretty much follow the same path as a plain old ram-air tube on a NA engine.

If the radiator will fit between the tubes it will work. IIRC you need 32 inches.

im going to use an air to water IC when i put an intercooler on mine. its more compact, easier to hide, and is much less noticeable than a normal IC, plus it cools alot better.

ive looked at the 1200hp one,

i saw a pic of someone using one on a diesel, and they mounted the ic about the same area where our heater/ac is at.

Just wondering: why not just run a PS intercooler? There's lots of them around and they fit the OBS really nicely since that's what they were designed for.

Just my .02

I agree that seems to be the easiest swap from what I've read here. Everybody wants to do it on the cheap though.

yes, psd intercoolers seem to be doing nothing but going up in price.......

Interesting. I haven't looked hard for a little while, but in the last couple years I've seen lots of 7.3 intercoolers in the $75-150 range out here in the Northwest.

I have a used 7.3 intercooler that I would sell for $100 (hint, hint Kevin over in Bend).

here is the setup i found.

I have an IC from a 6.0L in the garage. I have the "slant nose" bodystyle though, and these truck were build without the idea of an IC or turbo installed on them.

Two-inches of body-lift will open up many new horizons.

That is air-to-water I/C.

Were I to utilize one of those, I would add an entirely seperate water reservoir that was independent of engine heat, having an electric pump to cycle the water and also a hatch to add ICE.
