Has any one swapped from a 93 dodge aftercooler to a 7.3 power stroke aftercooler? What year was it from? Was it a lot of fabricating? My stock dodge cooler is shot and new one is 595.00:shock:

 

[grizzly_man07]

ours dont have aftercoolers. if your talkin bout the intercooler than yes you can do that. its a nice upgrade too with 3in ic tubes

TECHNICALLY it is an aftercooler...

I have one sitting in my office right now getting ready to be swapped into my truck. I know you want to get one with the aluminum ends NOT the plastic. They are quite a bit larger then stock but do fit with a little modification.

Here is the best write up I have found on swapping one in...
One Way to Install A Powerstroke Intercooler

Continuing what Bobby said . . . The proper application of a true intercooler would be to install it between the primary and secondary turbos of our so called Twins set-up (technically twins is wrong, it's a sequential setup).

sequential or compound?

Sequential is correct for that we call twins. One feeding another in sequence.
I initially said both but I'm not sure about the compound. I think compound would be those operating in parallel. :confused013:

But then compound makes sense too.

I suppose I could Google it. :doh:

Back to the question, what year ford aftercooler (intercooler) is used?

 

[jimbo486]

'99-'03 powerJOKE's had the full aluminum intercoolers and are the ones you're looking for.

the technical term for an intercooler is a charge air cooler (CAC):bdh:

 

[Richard LeBar]

Man we sure are getting technical in here. I have no real input I'm sorry.

But yes 99-03 7.3 stroke cooler with metal end tanks only. I think most of the ones that have the end tanks actually came on the early trucks it seems.

 

[1stgenjake]

anyone have a part number...i work at a ford dealer im thinking about ordering one but the parts guys prolly wouldnt like trying to figure out which has aluminum end tanks

if you have a non-ic would it be worth it just to go straight to a 7.3 intercooler?

 

[grizzly_man07]

yeah it would lower egts

If you have a non I/C truck, any intercooler is better than the one you have.

Back to the question, what year ford aftercooler (intercooler) is used?

Not sure how it will fit in your older Ford. It is thicker, wider, and taller than the stock 93 cooler. I turned the 2001 cooler I put into my truck upside down to make the inlet and outlet tubes line up closer to what the 93 was like and then had to cut out at the outer sides of the holes in the front sheetmetal about 3/4" wider. The feed tubes from the turbo and to the engine are larger as well and I replaced those with the larger sizes. I think the 93 was 2.5" and the ford 3".

CAC covers all of them... then you get into intercooler, aftercooler, ect... :thumbsup:

I just installed a 2000 7.3 p/s intercooler in my truck. Had to fab up some lower mounts from 1" square stock. top mounts I cut off and rewelded to outter edge. Now have to upgrade from 2 1/2" to 3" hoses. Added intake elbow from 99 5.9.

My truck runs hotter with the PS intercooler. Did any of you notice this with your trucks?

I don't have to run a winter front now.

Not as much fresh cool air getting to the rad.

 

[Doug Kimmel]

My is not done yet, awaiting intake tubes. And Less road salt
