Take your third generation, Cummins-powered Ram's performance to the next level with Smeding Diesel's direct-replacement intercooler. The significance of an efficient intercooler cannot be overlooked, and Smeding Diesel's is truly an upgrade with its oversized inlet and outlets offering lower intake air temperatures, reduced exhaust gas temperatures, and extending the life of your turbocharger. Whether you have a modified truck with a larger turbo and injectors or if it is completely untouched, this intercooler is a valuable upgrade.
These intercoolers have been outfited with a larger, 3.5-inch outlet and inlet designed to outflow the OEM intercooler. Crafted from durable, cast-aluminum end tanks, these have a robust construction allowing them to handle elevated boost levels. On top of that, these are a direct replacement for the OEM unit making the installation straightforward. The benefits extend beyond the intial fitment, the lower intake air temperatures contribute to increased engine longevity and reduce stress on your 5.9/6.7 Cummins.
As a turbocharger compresses air to enhance its density, an inevitable consequence is the significant heating of air -- a fundemental principal of physics. The role of an intercooler is to swiftly cool down this heated, compressed air, further amplifying its density. Reduced temperatures and pressure drops from an intercooler is pivotal. The substantial pressure drop this upgraded intercooler allows signifies improved efficiency.
This is an ideal upgrade for any third generation Dodge looking to extend its life.
