Hey guys, I just picked up an all aluminum intercooler off of Ebay! I looks totally different than stock! I am thinking its a Banks or some equalivant! Who else makes (made) aluminum intercoolers for our trucks back in the day?

 

You have the link?

 

Here is what I bought!

i had one made for my old 12 valve from griffin radiator for cheaper than the dealer wanted for a new one and it was bigger like 300 dollars cheaper

 

phat score dude! I thought the stock ones were ALU, but just painted black

 

The stockers were all aluminum. That one almost looks home-built - by someone who knew what he was doing.

 

I think you are right but they arent this thick! I was hoping to score a banks but the seller said there were no names on it! I dont think Banks would not put thier name on it!

 

I should be able to really look it over once I get it! But it looks really good (in pics) as far as the welds go! I dont think it is some cheapo welders work! It looks really put together! I want to upgrade my turbo setup and thought this is the first step! Does anyone have a Banks technicooler on thier first gen? Any tell tell signs?

 

Still for $125 (the seller cut $10) a good intercooleris well worth the money! Even a stock unit!

 

Looks like a Banks, no?
I had one but can't remember what it looked like.

 

Kind of looks like the banks on my truck to me, but i'd have to go look at it again to tell for sure.

 

looks pretty close to mine the core thickness on mine is 2-1/8

 

Thanks to all who are sying its a Banks!!!! I am getting more and more excited to get my hands on it! Does any of your all's say Banks engineering on it somewhere?

 

hey, ghls any way you could get me a big edit i/c like yours by the way need to get rid of those canwill rear seats.

 

Good find, looks homebuilt to me.. I can tell because of the consitency of the welds, any production piece would a bit cleaner looking... But looks good though...

Does it have a thicker core size than stock?? Do you think it will be much better than the factory one...??
