I'm more inclined to have the inlet tube modified than cutting into the core support more and dropping the radiator down to clear the tube.
Earlier today I was working with a fabricator to modify a 2.5" crossover pipe to clear the front driveshaft of a lifted truck. He said he deals mainly with...
I still have some fitting to do, but it's mostly there. The big issue now is the inlet tube interferes with the lower radiator hose. Any ideas on how to get the radiator to sit lower to clear it without more cutting of the core support?
Awesome, I'll look into snagging a universal kit soon then. I was going to throw a non ferrous metal cutting blade in my chop saw if anything needs to be trimmed down, and use a bead roller to flare the cut ends.
I already have 3.5" to 3" reducing elbows ready to order. I just need to get the...
The bolts that attach the cross support rods to the core support. This one sticks out about 3/4". I think I going to cut them off flush with the back of the rod.
I got this one for $90 out of a parts truck. Any universal intercoolers not near this size were $150 or more, so I'm happy with it. No leaks, just some oil residue on the intake side I will flush out before installing. I also plan on taking pictures and measurements along the way for anyone...
My reasoning for going with the cummins CAC was because it will fit in the location the existing AC condenser is in and not relocating the oil or transmission coolers at all. The only modifications needed are to remove material from the core support for the CAC inlet and outlet and figure out...
Picked up the 2nd gen IC today. 40.75" between the inlet and outlet, plenty of room for the stock radiator! Now to get the rest of the front end apart and break out the air saw.
You make it look like it was supposed to be there from the factory! I arranged to pick up a Cummins intercooler from a part out truck today. I will have time after Christmas to get it fitted and figure out piping. Thanks for the look!
I found that after getting the inner fenders out. I wanted to do it anyway for other reasons, but still good to know. The driver side was a PITA anyway lol.
The CAC I'm considering has a core 24"x12"x3", overall width is 31" with tanks attached.
