---tab Description--- 6.0L Powerstroke Bar-and-Plate Intercooler Overview Take your 6.0L Powerstroke's reliability and performance to the absolute limit. The SPELAB Heavy-Duty Bar-and-Plate Intercooler is engineered for truck owners who push their rigs to the extreme—whether that means hauling a 15,000 lb 5th-wheel up steep grades or running high-boost custom tunes. Unlike the weak factory intercooler or standard tube-fin replacements, this unit features a massive 3.35-inch thick Bar-and-Plate core mated to Indestructible Cast Aluminum End Tanks. This rugged construction provides a massive "thermal mass," acting as a heat sink to absorb extreme temperature spikes during long, heavy pulls. The result? Drastically lower Intake Air Temperatures (IATs), a denser air charge, and critically, a significant drop in your Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs). Whether you are completing your 6.0L "Bulletproof" build, upgrading your turbocharger, or just want the peace of mind that your intercooler will never blow apart under 50+ PSI of boost, the SPELAB Bar-and-Plate is the ultimate cooling solution. 6.0 Powerstroke Heavy-Duty Intercooler Fitment 2003 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 Super Duty 2004 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 Super Duty 2005 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 Super Duty 2006 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 Super Duty 2007 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 Super Duty 2003–2005 Ford Excursion 6.0L Powerstroke Bar-and-Plate Intercooler Key Features Massive 3.35" Bar-and-Plate Core (34% Larger)We increased the core thickness by 34% over the factory 2.48-inch unit. The dense bar-and-plate structure offers immense thermal capacity, preventing the "heat soak" that plagues stock trucks during heavy towing or back-to-back dyno pulls. Indestructible Cast Aluminum End TanksStop worrying about blowing a plastic tank or splitting a cheap weld. Our end tanks are cast from solid aluminum, providing unmatched structural integrity capable of handling compound turbos and extreme boost pressures (100+ PSI) without ballooning. Engineered Internal Air Diverter (Hot-Side)A premium feature often missing in competitor units. We integrated an internal diverter valve in the hot-side tank. This forces the highly pressurized hot air to distribute evenly across the entire 21.5-inch height of the core, ensuring 100% of the cooling fins are utilized, rather than air just taking the path of least resistance. Lower EGTs & Extended Turbo LifeBy drastically reducing pressure drop across the massive core, your VGT turbo doesn't have to work as hard to hit target boost. This reduces turbo strain, sharpens throttle response, and keeps your EGTs safely out of the red zone. Direct-Fit InstallationDespite the massive increase in size and cooling capacity, this intercooler is designed to drop directly into the factory location without any cutting or modifications.
