Intercooler Bar and Plate for 2010-2012 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Diesel | SPELAB

2010-2012 Ram 6.7L Bar-and-Plate Intercooler Overview

The 2010-2012 4th Gen 6.7L Cummins is a towing monster, but its high-heat emissions system and high boost pressures easily overwhelm the factory charge air system. The OEM intercooler, with its weak crimped plastic end tanks, is a ticking time bomb waiting to blow under heavy load.

Replacing the intercooler on these trucks is no small job—it requires evacuating the AC system. If you're going to do it, do it right the first time so you never have to do it again.

The SPELAB Heavy-Duty Bar-and-Plate Intercooler is the ultimate "one-and-done" reliability upgrade. Featuring indestructible Cast Aluminum End Tanks and a massive 3.35-inch thick core, this unit boasts a 34% larger volume than stock. Equipped with high-flow 3.5-inch inlets and outlets, it acts as a massive thermal heat sink. It aggressively absorbs heat spikes during steep towing grades, drastically lowering your Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs) and reliably holding 100+ PSI of boost for highly modified trucks.

Heavy-Duty Intercooler Key Features

• Indestructible Cast Aluminum End Tanks
  The 6.7L pushes massive boost, especially when tuned. Factory plastic tanks will eventually crack and leak. Our solid cast aluminum end tanks eliminate this weak point entirely, providing smooth internal airflow and the structural integrity to hold 100+ PSI safely.

• Massive 3.35" Bar-and-Plate Core
  Featuring a 32.5% increase in core volume. This heavy-duty bar-and-plate construction offers immense thermal capacity. It soaks up the extreme heat generated during intense towing or dyno pulls, keeping your IATs and EGTs safely out of the red zone.

• High-Flow 3.5" Inlet & Outlet
  Maximum power requires maximum airflow. We engineered this intercooler with massive 3.5-inch connections to reduce pressure drop, allowing your turbo to spool faster, work more efficiently, and deliver a denser air charge.

• Premium T-Bolt Clamps Included
  To ensure your connections hold up to extreme Cummins boost, we include premium constant-tension T-bolt clamps for a blowout-proof installation at the intercooler joints.

Cummins Bar-and-Plate Intercooler FAQs

Q: Why do I need Cast Aluminum tanks for my 6.7L Cummins?
A: The OEM intercooler uses plastic tanks crimped onto the core. Under high boost and heat cycles, they fail. Since replacing the intercooler on the 10-12 models requires AC line removal, you want a permanent fix. Cast aluminum guarantees you won't ever have to replace a blown intercooler again.

Q: I tow heavy loads with my 4th Gen. Will this help lower my EGTs?
A: Absolutely. The thick 3.35-inch bar-and-plate core absorbs the extreme heat generated during long, heavy pulls. Supplying cooler, denser air to the engine significantly reduces Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs).

Q: Will this support a tuned truck with upgraded turbos?
A: Yes. With massive 3.5-inch inlet/outlets and a competition-grade core, this intercooler is overbuilt to handle the extreme airflow and boost demands of heavily modified 6.7L engines.

Q: Are intercooler pipes included in this kit?
A: This listing is for the heavy-duty intercooler and premium T-bolt connection clamps only. Intercooler piping kits are sold separately (but highly recommended!).
