Spearco Diesel Intercooler Upgrades

Spearco Intercoolers

Ford Powerstroke | GM Duramax | Dodge Cummins

Dodge Cummins

Designed to drop right into place in the Hot Rod of diesel trucks. The 5.9L continues to be an incredible platform to easily make power and the intercooler should be the first thing or immediately after putting performance electronics on your truck.

Spearco Intercooler upgrades allow you to get the most towing and pulling potential out of your Dodge Cummins. The workhorse of the diesel world, the 5.9L Stage 1 bolt-ons allow you to tow higher capacities and still keep EGTs low, while the big power upgrades of Stages 2 & 3 mean you can finally pull 300 ft. with ease.

Ford Powerstroke

The Ford Powerstroke family of engines see fantastic gains from bolting on these turbo and intercooler upgrades. We recommend upgrading the intercooler first and then after you have taken care of the fuel system needs, moving on to the turbocharger. Perfectly designed for towing, the Stage 1 turbo and intercooler bring both the 6.0L and 6.4L to life.

GM Duramax

The GM Duramax with Allison transmission show what a factory platform can produce and the GM Duramax Torque-Master line of products are designed and tested to run perfectly to tow harder, faster, and heavier. The bolt-on turbos and intercoolers increase boost, lower EGTs and make more power and torque.

An incredible factory engine and transmission deserve the best aftermarket parts available. The Torque-Master bolt-on parts for the Duramax allow you to see performance levels you want. Drop-in intercooler and turbo upgrades let you tow harder, faster and make the torque needed to move big payloads.

2003.5-2007 Ford Powerstroke 6.0L

Ford Powerstrokes with a 6.0L engine have one of the worst reputations in the diesel world. Ford has been frequently asked, “Why didn’t you just keep the 7.3L engine?” But really the question is unfair given the circumstances at the time of creation of the 6.0L engine.

After January 1st, 2003, the federal government set tougher diesel emission standards. All the top diesel application manufactures had to restructure and invest a substantial amount of money to abide these new standards. Ford was one to do the same. Some say Ford should of added an exhaust gas recirculation system, a variable geometry turbo, and a high pressure injection system to the 7.3L engine. But others say nay, a clean burning 7.3L engine would have a horsepower disadvantage compared to the GM Duramax and the Dodge Cummins applications at the time. Also with Dodge Cummins Bosch’s latest Common Rail Injection, Ford 7.3L engines were much too loud.

So the 6.0L was created with four goals in mind:

  • Meet Emission Standards
  • Have More Horsepower than the competition
  • Have Better Fuel Economy
  • Make a quieter engine

When 2003.5 came to be, the Ford Powerstrokes 6.0L were out on the market. In stock form this was a consumer dream. The 6.0L engine met all emission standards and passed all testing performed during research and development. Obviously stock vehicles have been factory tested, so they are thought to be more reliable, which is mostly true for 6.0L engines. 6.0L engines rarely experience failures when operating at stock power levels. But let’s be honest, why own a Diesel if you can’t MAX IT OUT! This seems to be the area where 6.0L engines are having trouble, because now with aftermarket modifications your now turning more rpm, fueling heavier, and creating more heat and higher cylinder pressures. But Orange County Diesel feels that aftermarket modifications aren’t bad for 6.0L engines, they just have to be the RIGHT aftermarket product!

Here is a list of common problems of the Ford Powerstroke 6.0L 2003.5-2007

  • Turbo Failure
  • Variable Geometry Turbo Vanes Sticking
  • Leaking Oil Under Turbo
  • Rough Idle Related to the Fuel Injection Control Module
  • Fuel Injection Control Module Calibration(s)
  • Fuel Injection Control Module Harness Wear
  • Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Sticking
  • Exhaust Gas Recirculation
  • Blown Head Gasket Cooler
  • Oil Cooler
  • Oil Rail Plug(s) Leaking Oil
  • Sticking Spool Valve Inside Injector
  • Cracked Intercooler Boot
  • Coolant Leak
  • High Pressure Oil Pump Leaking Oil

Stock intercoolers have sharp bends and corners. As air flows around these corners dead air zones are created. These dead air zones choke down the air and restrict airflow across the heat exchanger  resulting in power robbing core heat soak.
