If you're looking to boost your Duramax's performance, the aFe BladeRunner Intercooler is a solid choice. This isn't just another intercooler; it’s designed for those who want to get serious about their truck's capabilities. With a 2.5" bar and plate core, this intercooler is larger than stock and outflows the OEM tube and fin designs by a whopping 36%. That means cooler air and more power, plain and simple.
One of the standout features is the unique end tanks. These are made from 3/16'' TIG-welded aluminum plates, and they come with seven multi-directional vanes inside. What does that mean for you? Better airflow management. The Multi-Directional Vane Technology helps direct hot air through the entire core, making sure you're getting maximum cooling efficiency compared to other options on the market.
Speaking of cooling, the bar and plate design really shines here. It’s built to allow for greater airflow and heat dissipation than the smaller tube and fin setups that come stock. If you're cranking up the boost, you’ll definitely want something that can handle it. This intercooler is test pressure rated at 200psi, so it’s more than ready for high boost applications.
Worried about installation? You’ll find four tapped 1/8" NPT ports on the intercooler tubes, making it easy to hook up gauges or even a nitrous system if you're feeling adventurous. Plus, the billet aluminum inlets and outlets are built for strength and durability, with 3" connections that fit right into your stock boost tubes without any hassle.
And let’s not forget about the craftsmanship. Each unit is 100% TIG-welded by certified pros, ensuring that you get the strongest welds possible. This means no stress cracks and a product that’s built to last.
If you own a 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500HD/3500HD or a 2011-2015 GMC Sierra HD 2500HD/3500HD with the LML Duramax Turbo Diesel V8 6.6L, this intercooler is made for you. It fits like a glove and is designed to take your truck's performance to the next level.
So, if you're tired of messing around with modified factory intercoolers that just don't cut it, the aFe BladeRunner is where you should put your money. Just remember, it’s legal in California only for racing vehicles that won’t see highway use.
