After 3 weeks of driving with the Edge, I blew the end of the intercooler off. I dont think anything is cracked or broken, it just came off the fins.

Anybody have any suggestions on what to do now? 33K miles on the truck. Warranty? Aftermarket? Re-install and see what happens?

I know a lot of you have experience with the '05 plastic intercoolers cracking, I have read most of the previous threads on this topic. If aftermarket, which brand?

I appreciate the help.

THanks.

 

Check with your dealer. Some dealers acknowledge the problem and make it right. If you go aftermarket, theres a few options. The only Banks product I would buy is their intercooler.

 

They should replace it under warrenty with a real one (made of of all metal). They only had them for part of the year in '05, and some of us luck people got them. Mine is still holding...I hope this was not a jinx.

 

If you arent going real wild on your truck the stock metal one is more than enough IC for your needs. If the dealer wont replace it I have a stock one that I will make you a good deal on

so do i, depends on whose closer kevin. i have been looking for a reason to upgrade my IC.

just found out he is 2 hours from me.. gonna call bd in the morning and see what they have.

 

oh my goodness is bd proud of them. ouch.
i dont think i will be doing that anytime soon.

 

Yeah,, a chunk of change eh.. I bought mine used (banks IC and high ram) that was the only way I could justify it.. which way 2 hours,, cause I am probably only 13 hours from you.....

yeah id stay away from bd, im on my second one, the first one balloned on both sides, and cracked down the welds on both sides, and it only took 3 months to get my deposit back for the second one.

 

Have you looked in the classifieds here? I saw 2 possibles if they still have them.

 

City Diesel is probably the cheapest aftermarket...

But...like I said...I have an almost new metal OEM one. If I did it all over again...I would have spent my $8xx on something else.

 

I had mine blow with Edge Juice also. Dealer replaced with a metal one no questions asked.

 

birdog, what year model is your truck?
