Intercooler

[Fireman]

Hey Folks,
I was lookin around on another site, saw some ol'boy mention he had a 6.0 intercooler in a 2000 PSD which is 7.3, I was just curious what the benifit form that would be? An if it were worth while would it work with a early 99? Thanks!

The 6.0 cooler is roughly 25%-30% larger than the old SD intercooler. That is the benefit.

Yup. I do not know if anybody has shown a proven dyno gain or actual EGT reduction for it. The intercoolers on our trucks are sufficient for 99.9% of applications, so i just wouldn't worry about it.

Cool thanks guys. Just wondered.

Fireman if you get a chance to do the CCV mod to your truck follow up with flushing out the intercooler and thoroughly clean inside/out of all the intake plumbing parts so it'll perform 100%

Here's our CCV Relocation Article you can check out

It's a very low cost mod with positive benefits

I have a 6.0L intercooler from a 2005 6.0L in my truck and you really won't notice any difference until you are towing. The bigger intercooler does help to lower EGTs and aid pulling power under loaded conditions. If you use a 6.0L intercooler in a 7.3L you will also need to change the tube and hose connection at the intercooler. They are differnent sizes. I used the Banks tube from their intercooler kit and our Hump hose to make the connection. This is well worth doing if you tow heavy.
