Take your second generation, Cummins-powered Dodge's performance to the next level with Smeding Diesel's direct-replacement intercooler. The significance of an efficient intercooler cannot be overstated, and Smeding Diesel's is truly an upgrade with its thicker core offering plummeting intake air temperatures by up to 25%, reducing the generated 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.
Crafted with durable, cast-aluminum end tanks, Smeding's intercooler guarantees optimal strength in high boost applications. The 3-inch thick core allows for a 47% increase in volume over the OEM unit. With a drop-in fitment, this makes installation a breeze, requiring only basic hand tools. The benefits extend beyond the intial fitment, the lower intake air temperatures contribute to increased engine longevity and reduce stress on your 5.9L 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 second generation Dodge looking to extend its life.
