Engineered for Durability: Fabricated from high-strength aluminum alloy, designed to stop oil leaks, withstand corrosion, and deliver superior longevity.

Why the Charge Air Cooler Is Critical

The turbocharger on the 6.7 Power Stroke compresses incoming air before it enters the engine.

As boost pressure increases:

• Intake temperatures rise
• Air density decreases
• Combustion efficiency drops
• Exhaust gas temperatures increase

The charge air cooler reduces these temperatures before the air reaches the intake manifold.

Benefits include:

• Improved horsepower
• Better towing consistency
• Reduced heat soak
• More stable boost performance

Upgraded Aluminum Construction

One of the biggest selling points of this replacement unit is its construction.

Material

• High-strength aluminum alloy

Benefits include:

• Corrosion resistance
• Improved durability
• Reduced risk of cracking
• Better long-term reliability

Diesel trucks often see harsh operating conditions, making durability especially important.

Designed to Prevent Boost Leaks

One of the most common intercooler-related issues on diesel trucks is boost leakage.

A leaking charge air cooler can cause:

Loss of Power

Reduced boost pressure means less available horsepower.

Increased Turbo Lag

The turbocharger must work harder to maintain pressure.

Reduced Fuel Economy

The engine becomes less efficient.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Boost-related faults may trigger warning lights.

Replacing a worn intercooler helps restore proper system pressure.

Built for Towing Applications

Many 6.7 Power Stroke trucks spend their lives towing:

• Fifth-wheel trailers
• Toy haulers
• Equipment trailers
• Boats
• Commercial loads

Maintaining low intake temperatures becomes especially important during sustained heavy-load operation.

Great for Work Trucks

The intercooler is ideal for:

Fleet Vehicles

Dependable daily operation.

Construction Trucks

Reliable cooling under heavy workloads.

Agricultural Use

Consistent performance in demanding environments.

Service Vehicles

Helps maintain factory drivability and efficiency.

OEM-Style Direct Fit

The upgraded charge air cooler is designed to install in the factory location.

Benefits include:

• Direct replacement fitment
• Factory-style mounting points
• OEM hose compatibility
• No custom fabrication required

This helps simplify installation and reduce downtime.

Replacement Part Numbers

This intercooler replaces:

• BC3Z-6K775-B
• BC3Z6K775B
• 918-967

Always verify part numbers and fitment before ordering.

Common Symptoms of a Failing Intercooler

Hissing Under Boost

Often indicates a boost leak.

Reduced Acceleration

The truck may feel sluggish.

Excessive Smoke

Airflow issues can affect combustion.

Check Engine Light

Boost-related diagnostic codes may appear.

Oil Residue Around Charge Pipes

A common sign of leaking intercooler connections.
