  • <strong>08. </strong> Loren Taylor, Diesel Tech’s owner, stressed how important coolant filtration is. The cleaner the coolant is, the better it’s able to do its job of keeping the engine operating within its optimum operating temperature. That’s why Diesel Tech has developed a coolant filtration system that ties into the heater system.

3 The BladeRunner intercooler drops into place pretty easily with a little help. It’s a tight fit but it all bolts in just like the factory intercooler. The guys at Diesel Tech had the aFe BladeRunner intercooler in the truck in no time at all. 1212or 01+bigger boost for the 6l power stroke+ford 6l power stroke super duty <strong>01. </strong>The aFe BladeRunner intercooler features 3/16-inch TIG-welded aluminum plate tanks that use three multi-directional vanes that direct hot air flow through the entire intercooler core for greater overall cooling. <strong>02. </strong> Removing the factory intercooler is not really all that hard. If you’ve ever removed a radiator, it’s pretty much the same concept except there’s no coolant that can be spilled and the whole process takes only a few minutes. <strong>03. </strong>The BladeRunner intercooler drops into place pretty easily with a little help.

The BladeRunner intercooler tube features smoother transition bends for lower turbulence to increase horsepower and torque, as well as lower EGTs. <strong>05. </strong>Make sure you follow the recommended torque specification for the spring-loaded T-bolt clamps so you don’t over tighten them and end up with a broken clamp or a boost leak from a kinked silicone hose. <strong>06. </strong>When it comes to intercoolers, bigger is usually better! The BladeRunner intercooler uses 3.5-inch billet aluminum inlets and outlets that are stronger than the plastic ones found on the factory unit. <strong>07. </strong>Here you can see why the factory intercoolers fall short in high-boost applications. The ends of the intercooler that hold the secure the plastic end tanks of the intercooler start coming apart, which leads to a major loss of boost pressure.
