Air to Water Intercoolers

Premium 6.7 Powerstroke Air-to-Water Intercoolers & High-Efficiency Cores

Unlike older diesel platforms that utilize air-to-air cooling systems positioned at the very front of the grille, the 6.7L Ford Powerstroke relies on an advanced, highly efficient air-to-water charge air cooler (CAC) system. Mounted directly on the engine, this compact heat exchanger uses a dedicated secondary cooling loop to drastically lower the temperature of compressed air leaving the turbocharger before it enters the intake manifolds. While this system provides exceptionally crisp throttle response and massive cooling efficiency from the factory, the stock core can become a restriction when pushing your truck with high-output electronic tuning or upgraded turbochargers. Upgrading to a premium 6.7 Powerstroke air-to-water intercooler maximizes heat transfer, dramatically lowers exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), and provides the structural integrity needed to handle extreme boost levels.

Our specialized inventory features heavy-duty, upgraded air-to-water intercooler cores designed specifically for the 6.7L platform. We stock high-performance replacement units engineered by industry leaders to deliver superior thermal dissipation compared to the original equipment. These upgraded intercoolers feature optimized internal bar-and-plate or tube-and-fin configurations that offer a larger surface area for heat exchange while minimizing airside pressure drop. Built with robust, precision-welded aluminum end tanks, these high-efficiency cores eliminate the risk of structural failure or internal coolant leaks that can occur under continuous high-boost workloads.

Upgrading your air-to-water intercooler assembly is an essential modification for ensuring consistent power delivery during long, heavy towing cycles or high-stress street driving. By introducing a denser, cooler air charge into the combustion chambers, your engine achieves a cleaner burn, which helps reduce soot output and preserves top-end component life. For the ultimate cooling configuration, consider pairing your upgraded core with a high-flow secondary water pump and a heavy-duty secondary radiator.
