- How to replace the OEM intercooler tube with an aftermarket, upgraded cold side charge pipe for the 6.7L f250 2011-2018. The OEM part is prone to failure. Our last two either burst or cracked so we upgraded from OEM to this one from Sinister Diesel. Hopefully this one will last a lifetime!

Great job and I loved hearing your boy say Yes Sir/No Sir. Great family and great parenting!
Really appreciate that! Thank you. -steven
I love the bond and respect you and your son have for each other!
Thank you that means a lot to me. I'm proud of my boys!
@@SixthDayRanch I honestly got chills when he said “yes sir” the first time. It’s so hard to keep kids respect level up these days. That’s such a nod to how great y’all are as parents!
Thank you
I just bought a 2012 last night and today this part burst. It’s the cheap plastic. My 16 yo son found out the name and we went to buy stock part but they are now stainless metal. Thanks to videos like yours, we are fixing it. It was a heartbreaking moment for a bit.
So glad we could help! Thanks for watching
Thank you for explaining the spring clamps! Truck looks great!
You're welcome. Glad we could help and thanks!
My clamp just failed. But I'll replace the entire part since it's a common failure part. Thanks for the video.
Good call! Happy to help!
Hey 6th Day Ranch, Here is a heads up from a fellow Texan. The fact that this has happened to you more than once makes me think you might have the same problem that I did with my 2015 f250. Long story short, I drive ALOT. DFW to Houston to SA/Austin loop twice weekly. I was running too much injector cleaner/cetane booster and melted my DPF, blew the boot just like you and it put a hole in my charge air cooler system. Had to install the aftermarket boot and billet adaptor, removed the DPF and straight piped it, programmed the EGR and DEF to stay closed w/ some mild tunes. I thought I was done but my tranny was running hot while driving HWY only, Had to install the mishimoto Charge air cooler too, now its done. If you still have the DPF installed, might want to delete it or at least measure the psi change through the exhaust. 2015 f250 4x4 lariat with 260K with only the work above, 3rd set of batteries, 6set of tires, ac fan motor, shocks, brakes, and nothing else done to it.
This is great advice I appreciate it!
Hey boss, great video! Thanks for the video, beautiful family. Stay safe
Appreciate that brother!
Nice work. I have both the hot & cold pipes on my '15. Very pleased. Thanks for the video.
Awesome!
Thanks for taking the time to make and share a video.
Appreciate it brother. Hope it was helpful.
Thanks for making this video
You're welcome!
I feel ur pain bro. After my 3rd one i too am looking for a better solution. Thanks for the video.
Appreciate it. It's a stupid problem. I hope this solves it for me. Good luck on yours!
Getting ready to do mine great video using sinister part also vary helpful video thanks.
Thank you! If you have any questions, let us know! - Dorthie
Not sure if it was just mine or if someone already mentioned it but makr sure to run your finger with oil around the inner o-ring for the metal fitting over the throttle body...this was the only way mine would slide on far enough to use the spring clip.
Great tip! Thanks!
This literally just happened to me. I'm a hotshot with a 2012 F350 6.7. I rigged it to work until I can replace it. Truck just hit 140k. I'm driving it 2k miles too. Easy fix if you have the part. Just go ahead and replace it with premium parts.
Sorry to hear that brother. Never fun to have to deal with this stuff especially when it's your job to drive. Hope you are able to get it working soon!
Just ordered one myself yesterday morning. Says should arrive on Monday. I had mine blow off while entering the highway last Tuesday. I have a new CCV, fuel filter, engine oil, and the cold side pipe. Should be a good maintenance for the 6.7l
Good call on the ccv that caused me a lot of headaches and some oil leaks. Good luck with the install my friend!
Thank you for this! I'm near Waco, TX. (China Spring) Mine (2015) just blew right at the joint where the metal band (as seen here 7:35 ). It's not even a clamp, just a pressfit band. 'Comon Ford. really? I will say the BOOM when it blew was pretty shocking.
10:43 Can the metal to rubber clamp be preinstalled and tightened before sliding it down into position? If not, did you just use an open-end wrench to tighten? (probably take 5000 little 1/4 inch turns right? ;) )
Thanks again brah! subbed.
I hear you - it made my heart sink! It was a tedious process getting that thing tightened, but I was able to get it done with a LOT of patience!
I also keep having an issue getting the tube on the throttle side with the clip to line up
It definitely slipped right on the throttle side. Perhaps it's twisted a bit?
Thanks so much! If I ever need to change this out on my f-150, now I know how! 😉
Lol good luck!
This is gotta be a joke lol
Nice work! I changes mine and now it’s throwing p0402. Any ideas why? Thank you
Could be the truck needs time to relearn. I'd reset it and see if it comes back. If it does check anything that has to do with airflow. Cools be MAP sensor (that can usually just be cleaned) air filter or maybe a stuck egr Valve but not likely if you didn't have the problem before.
I’m having trouble getting it to line up and keep the boot on the cooler, any tips or tricks
A lot of patience and a solid prayer! lol It wasn't that bad for us but it did take a few minutes to get it situated.
I undid the bolt on the power steering reservoir but that little 90 boot on the cooler is still in the way I can’t get it, the problem too is even once I get it installed I still have to move everything back into place
It definitely took some patience to get it all situated, and I used a really long extension to get it down in there. Also make sure your bolts are facing the right way before you get it in there so you can reach them from above. Good luck brother!
Sixth Day Ranch Texas we ended up getting it on, just took a couple prayers!
Sixth Day Ranch Texas next I’m gonna take it for a drive and make sure it build proper boost and no check engine light
Great to hear! Hope it treats you well!
I’m having an issue on the cooler where that one connector is stoping me from getting full range to move it around, did you put the boot on then the pipe into the boot?
For the most part yes. I had to have them both a little loose, but I placed the boot first.
Thank you sir 👍👍👍💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Happy to help!
Literally just got done replacing my turbo and not even 100 miles w it, I have this happen…
That's frustrating!
Yes it is!
Did you look inside the tube @ the welds??? Got one myself but it has huge drips of metal on the inside!!
That stinks. Mine was nice and clean.
mine has a split on top, which is weird. under boost it looks like its spraying oil all over the hood. 2017 f350 110xxx.
Bummer. My first one that failed had a split in a similar place. -Steven
Mine is doing the exact same thing. Changing it out today. 2018 f250. My last truck was a 2015 and it exploded to pieces. My new one, it started throwing a check engine code for the mass air sensor also.
Could you see any performance improvements at all? Fuel mileage, power,torque? Or just reliability?
Honestly no. Nothing significant. For me it was peace of mind it won't blow again.
How long did it take for the check engine light to turn off? I drove it around the block and it is still on...
Just did this upgrade on a 2019, it is definitely a tight fit. At 74k the original hose cracked.
I reset my own check engine light so i'm not sure how long it would take on it's own. Hope the new one solves your problem!
@@SixthDayRanch was the reset simply removing negative battery terminals? Or is a programmer or something else required? Can the reader at the local auto part store reset it?
I just use a cheap odb reader from Amazon but any of them will reset the code for you. Same with the ones at the auto parts places.
@@SixthDayRanch I appreciate the insight. Headed to the parts store....
Mine also just failed at 75k on a 2019. Swapped to this one so I can reduce future risks. Great insight and great video too
Great video! I have the same cold side pipe on my 2016 f250 my question is does the kit come with a rubber seal where you connect it. My pipe seems to have a leak and I don't remember if it has a seal on the blue side not the boot
Thanks! No there is no seal on the blue side. It just slips over the port and clips in place.
@@SixthDayRanch just bought one and there is actually a seal on the inside
Apologies! I didn't remember it coming with one but it's been a little while.
After you replace this and went to the aftermarket, did you notice a slight drop in your turbo boost when you were just driving normally? I just changed mine out and it feels like I'm not getting as much boost under normal driving conditions but when I get on it I can get the full 21 PSI. Just wondering if this is a common occurrence when you switch to an aftermarket and the air flows through much better.
That's a good thought. I personally didnt notice any difference but that doesnt mean it's not there. Hopefully someone else can chime in here if they've noticed it too.
When you installed yours is the top part of the pipe flush on the throttlebody? For some reason even with my clip down I have a small little gap in between.
I honestly don't remember. I just slid it onto the opening on the throttle body until the snap ring lined up. It's pretty snug on mine.
Need this intercooler pipe, the link does not find it.
Thanks for the heads up! Here's the correct link: amzn.to/3f3rSU8
Did yours just blow? Or is this a preventative measure? Mine just blew, I am at a dealer in PO dunk Iowa, mine blew heard a loud swishing noise, suddenly no turbo. I couldn’t find any holes or detached hoses, it Labor Day and we are stuck until tomorrow morning. Any advice?
Exactly what happened to me both times it happened. It usually fails either at the throttle body or a crack on the elbow towards the top.
See or there is maybe a crack somewhere where it split. It may not be obvious until under pressure.
Sorry to hear that brother that's not a fun problem to have. If you could find the crack it whole depending on where it is you could temp patch it with fiberfix or something similar that is fast drying. It's all just plastic anyway.
Is this better than the HSM from H&S?
Honestly no idea. This is still going strong so Im happy with it!
Was there any noticeable power increase
Not that I could tell.
@@SixthDayRanch ok thank you. Im deleted and tuned with intake. Just trying to figure out next best power mod, besides a bigger turbo
Better turbo would be a great 👍 investment.
What's the easiest way to install this?
Just followed the directions it wasn't too bad!
Did you have oil coming out when yours busted?
None that I noticed.
@@SixthDayRanch mine blew Sunday and I need to replace it. From my research it said leaks can happen from the pipe being loose… well that sucker was completely off lol so I hope my turbo is still good 😬
Oh man I know that feeling worrying about the turbo. I'm sure you're fine. This is such a common issue thanks to ford engineering. Lol
@@kennyreinartz mine has oil it didnt fall off but it cracked down the sides and now i have oil all over the hood and radiator. hope its normal. 2017 f350 110xxx
@@jdeaton17 I connected my pipe and drove it with no issues. I think the reason I had oil was because I was driving 80 mph when it busted off. Then my dumb behind tried flooring it to see if I could hear the turbo. But yeah after I replaced the cold side I had to take it to the dealership for a regen of the dpf. So in total I spent just under $750 for everything. Also Ford was talking about looking into a recall of those pipes and if it affected your turbo or dpf then it could be replaced for free as well. My local dealership has already replaced 3 of them for free. I asked how much it would cost for replacing the turbo, pipes, and the dpf, he said it would cost roughly $7500
The lower boot to the pipe is a pain in the ass. Scratched my pipe up. Not a good design.
It was definitely a tight fit to get it in there! I will say I'm confident it wont come off! lol
Mine failed at around 60k
Wow that's disappointing!
@@SixthDayRanch I'm sorry maybe you misunderstood. My OEM failed. I have a replacement metal one now! Works great
It's disappointing that it failed with such little milage! But that's great that you got the replacement metal one now! Ours is still doing great with no issues!
No worries. What I meant was it's disappointing that Ford would make a product that fails so quickly! 60K miles on one of these trucks is should be barely broken in.
And everyone says no issues, but always find issues with the motor
What do you mean?
