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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the weak factory intercooler or standard tube-fin replacements, this unit features a massive \u003cstrong\u003e3.35-inch thick Bar-and-Plate core\u003c\/strong\u003e mated to \u003cstrong\u003eIndestructible Cast Aluminum End Tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e6.0 Powerstroke Heavy-Duty Intercooler Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2003 Ford F-250\/F-350\/F-450\/F-550 Super Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2004 Ford F-250\/F-350\/F-450\/F-550 Super Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2005 Ford F-250\/F-350\/F-450\/F-550 Super Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2006 Ford F-250\/F-350\/F-450\/F-550 Super Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2007 Ford F-250\/F-350\/F-450\/F-550 Super Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2003–2005 Ford Excursion 6.0L Powerstroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBar-and-Plate Intercooler Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMassive 3.35\" Bar-and-Plate Core (34% Larger)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe increased the core thickness by 34% over the factory 2.48-inch unit.

When towing heavy loads up long inclines, your engine generates massive, sustained heat. The Bar-and-Plate core has significantly more \"thermal mass\" to absorb that heat, keeping your EGTs stable over long pulls.
