#16
I Feel your pain, mine went 3mo ago luckly it was in town when mine blew!
The local dealer didnt have one in stock or could get one for 6 weeks plus!
luckly the local perfomance shop had a BD intercooler.

Thanks for the remarks. The new one will be here on Monday, I will take more pictures. This is the first problem that I have had with this truck. All I can say is even with pulling 11,000 lb a intercooler only putting out 22 psi max, the truck still pulled pretty good. It was not the Engine (Cummins) that failed it was everything around it.

Sorry for the delay, traveling home. Here are some pictures:
The verdict is that I did see lower EGT's 75 to 100, faster turbo spool up With regards to the install, it was not a perfect fit. I had to moved two lower brackets of the AC, and had to drill holes of the AC passenger brackets due to not fitting properly.
Overall the Cool Twist inter cooler was a great product over the alternative part for the dealer.
I did purchase the Cool Twist for City Diesel, great customer service.

I just bought a semi-new stock metal intercooler from a guy who pulled it out of his 07 with less than 5000 miles on it (He went with a Banks). Replaced my POS plastic one and I feel much better. Not bad for $350.

Glad you got it patched enough to drive! I am glad I got a truck with an all-metal cooler. I too don't understand why they would put plastic tanks on them. Do they fail under stock loads? Maybe they engineered them just for stock boost levels? Either way, something under pressure like that should be made of materials that will hold it forever.
