I did a Banks Techni-Cooler Intercooler System on the 6.0 F250 I drive. Only difference is I had the intercooler custom coated with a metallic based Thermal Dispersal Coating that's found on the M1 Abrams Tanks. And the intake airhorn was honed to limit airflow turbulence at the inlet. Made a massive difference on a semi stock 6.0 As far as the snapped stud issue. Yeah I had that happen to me and my friend whose a machinist with metals looked over the stud material and said that the stud was made out of cheap Chinese pot metal.
@eastonruppe5730 as far as the stud issue.. I really couldn't tell ya. It would be a gamble.. but one that's easily fixed and resolved with the right people and the right hardware. I'd invest in it since it made a noticeable difference in throttle on the truck I drive.
Looks great.. but you should look in to getting some kind of cold air box or at least make you some type of divider to seperste the air filter from the hot under hood temps. It doesnt seem like its a big deal but it actually helps quite a bit i run the banks data monster and when i bulit a divider for my filter and kept tuat hit engine heat out my kntake temps droped a decent amount the intake air dencity improved and tne MAD improvef witch all mean mlre power I love Banks products ive ran his stuff on every cummins ive owned 3 that ive sold and my current 2022 3500 dually tow rig i use for work aking a BIT more than stock and she gets worked hard and also on my daily a 2020 3500 srw and it makes a good amount of power waiting to dyno to get real numbers. I think im going to run both on the dyno to see where there at
If it’s a newer 6.0 you could swap the turbine to a lower blade count… better flow, still stock cuz 03 6.0s had them, and it makes the best turbo noise known to man!
I’m a marine diesel mechanic. Cat uses those sealing washers or “atmospheric washers” in many locations. We O-ring lube or wherever lube is handy on the mating services. This alleviates the rubber grabbing in balling up. I would assume banks uses the studs as a weak link that will break before the aluminum threads pull out of the intake manifold. Or maybe there just cheap Chinese crap 🤷🏼♂️
Nice! Iv said it once before and I'll say it again I wish I could send you my 6.0 and pay you to do everything you would recommend a daily driver has done to it. Side note my big lld sticker I got over a year ago is still holding up and looks great I recommend it to any of the big fans out there.
Easy solution is to get torx style fine thread studs from like McMasters Carr with a high torque yield rating and problem solved. However, if you're running higher boost pressures, you'll want to go with a corse thread to ensure a solid hold down. You just have to check the torque of those every now and then.
I'm going to have to watch more videos of this project. I normally just watch race truck vids. I have the same Odawgs intake and the Banks Technicooler on my pickup as well. I fight egt with mine though. I think I may need a new exhaust though. Id like to see what yours do. It looks like it could be a daily driver as well as sled puller. Another great video. Keep em comin
I have a 07 F350. I tow a 14,500 5th wheel. I'm looking to lower my EGT's. What are the best upgrades I can do? Basically, stock, new O'ring heads, studed, deleted, K&b intake, KC stage1 jetfire. Pulling a 6/7 grade, it is very easy to hit 1250 plus, so i have to back out of it. Looking fwd to your response.
@@jaykrauser1345 first check for boost leaks! You may find your intercooler is leaking a little. From there the odawgs 2sr would be the next step as that can drop egts 150-200 degrees. If still battling temps I would do an intercooler, the banks system is hard to beat, that system can drop egts another 50-100 degrees. In combination with your stock injectors you should not have to worry about exhaust temps.
As a banks high ram setup owner. The banks high ram "elbow" mounting setup is garbage. Currently I'm in the process of modding mine to bolt up to the manifold just like an odawgs system. This way it won't have the long studs running inside that are made of chineseium. Edit. Didnt get to the part where you broke the stud before posting! Same experience. Except you have a different version
@@johnnycortez46 05+ rails are top notch. You should be good unless you suspect it’s not doing it’s job, and I imagine you’d know. Any reason you’re doing a rebuild? Blow up? Or just because?
@ThouTriple8s My whole engine is getting the "BulletProof " process as they say. New KDD heads. Odawgs intake. Kc stage 2 turbo. Stage 2 RCD cam. New injectors, Ficm, water pump. All new sensors like map, cam and crank etc etc. New glow plugs, module and harness. Lifters. Bearings. So I was curious about the rails. Or Re-seal them. Heard HHC nipple cups are pretty good
@@chrisrogers8694 best method is remove the intercooler and cap both sides. One side should be drilled and tapped for a air fitting. Then use regulated air to your desired pressure. From there if you don’t hear anything get some soapy water and spray it down inspecting for bubbles.
@@LeftLaneDiesels Somewhat off subject my 03 6.0 has 230,000 with factory turbo. I think i need to replace my turbo (on a budget). would it be better to get a drop in turbo or rebuild? I am on a budget and no this is not my daily driver.
It’s hard to give real world feedback. It seems to always be seat of the pants feel. Sure I could compare numbers(boost, egts, iat, etc..) but if I can’t show a increase in power than what’s the point. I REALLY wish I could dyno the trucks after each mod. What did I notice after the intercooler, I saw a decrease in boost pressure but an increase in spool up. However I have suspicions that my intercooler was leaking so the data is skewed anyway.
Spending $800+ for an aftermarket 7.3 intercooler is one of the dumbest things you can do. But still not quite as dumb as spending $450+ on a "balanced assembly". 😂 If I absolutely had to upgrade mine, I'd go with the CXRacing double core. It's f'n huge.
You can email me huskiepowerstroker@gmail.com I do not give out my personal cell number and k am not a shop that you can call, I hope you can understand that.
As dumb as it may sound, a black intercooler is a terrible design choice. Black (dark colors in general) absorbs heat from the surroundings better than other colors. This is also true in applications where you may not expect it like here.

I plan on running the banks intercooler or the spearco one with blessed intercooler tubes on my 6.0
The stud broke on me also but I bought my intake neck used, so I used a threaded rod that size and it works fine.

Just ordered your up pipe last night excited to receive it and put them on!!
Shipping out tmrw! Thanks for the support!
Also what delete kit do you suggest
You won’t be disappointed I’ve got about 5k miles on my up pipes from left lane and they are awesome

Thank you very much.
One more question if okay, i need to do a brake job. Would you stay with stock OEM. Or change to something like power shop with sloted rotors etc?
I been looking for a dyno with you dually how much hp did you get did you hit your mark 1000
Wish they’d make the cold side one piece like socal billet or SoCal make theirs 3.5!
Looking spicy man.
When are you coming out with the cvv upgrade?
How has the new setup been working for you? Did you see a difference?
What year are those tow mirrors?
Bro what are those headlights? They look great!!
Single piece clear projectors off XDP
I honestly love them. They have been awesome and are pretty bright at night.

Are the oil rails worth replacing on a 6.0 if you are doing a rebuild??
Possibly depends what year of truck we’re talking about.

is there a way to see if the intercooler is bad without pulling it?
You would have to pressurize it. Look along the end tanks for a pile of oil and debris, that’s typically a pretty good sign
@@LeftLaneDiesels what is the best way to do this? I made a DYI one that did not work to well.

They also dissipate heat better in certain cases. If you paint an air cooled engine black it runs cooler.
