Hot Side Intercooler Pipe & Boot Kit For 2011-2016 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel

Kit fit perfectly on my 2013 F350 6.7 170K. used for daily driver and towing 5th wheel. About a mile from home I heard this large boom and hiss then sudden loss of power from engine bay. I am like “Crap!” now what! So, I Limped home and opened the hood – found the factory cold side had literally blown apart. Well I just had a the EGR cooler replaced at a shop for $2500 and did not want another big bill, so decided to do it myself. I am an IT guy, I don’t know much about diesels (my first one) but somewhat mechanical inclined, so thought I’d give it a go. Well I did not what something like this happen in mountains or deserts out in the boonies, searched around for an inexpensive but hardy solution and came acrost and settled on this brand fairly quickly. I realized this simple tube design can be quite costly$$$$.I ordered both cold and hot side Rudy replacements. Then when to garage to begin teardown of OEM taking me a couple hours. I decided to enlist some help for someone to hold the Top radiator hose up and out of the way to have more room to work.Opening the package(s), I noticed they were much beefier than expected and kit contained everything I needed including new gasket and ring clamp. I started with cold side first. It when together surprisingly easy (used the soap method) lining up all the T-clamps and hose positions paying close attention to linkage and gaps. I used a hammer drill to tighten clamps. I cannot understand why ford did not go this silicone/aluminum route to begin with instead of plastics and rubber. I think Rudy has been listening to clamp complains because it all fit together perfectly for the cold side. And the temp sensor has some play but the way it snaps in its really not going anywhere. The whole setup is very sturdy and sound. I just do not like the idea of a sensor line just hanging in the wind– that needs a way to be orderly, I used a bread tie and tied to a t-clamp.On the hot side I had to YouTube how to remove hard to reach turbo side spring clamp, but with the 2-screwdriver method it popped right off. This was a tricky one to install, as the turbo side clamp as too small so I reused the OEM. THE OTHER 3 WERE FINE. I did have to reuse ring clamp and gasket, be nice if these were supplied. The gasket wanted to turn some during install but after some finagling with my finger nail it popped into place (could be a spot of betrayal if not installed properly) On to studying line up so clamp bolt does not impede fuel filter removal in the future. Getting it to fit and form properly was a momentary perplexing and a few swear words were in order but using a hack saw to trim the T-clamp bolt it all eventually bounds into place and your satisfied (oh yeah!) tightened clams and reviewed work. Sound and as a pound. I even took some brasso to clean the pipes- looks awesome now.I did not test yet (at time of writing), as I’m waiting on a S&B CAI to finish the upgrades. I do not think I’ll have a break down with these parts ever again. Its very well built and once installed very sturdy, I do not think there will be any leak or blowback its almost acts as one solid piece now. On a scale of 1-10 its about a 3-4 for a novice DIY job and used about 5 ($150/hr labor savings) hours to remove /replace both pipes. Less time if you are a pro I bet. Don’t hesitate to buy you’ll be satisfied.

Doesn’t fit and didn’t come with a new O ring there for it wouldn’t have worked anyway because the old o-ring was shot and it showed up a day late which would have been fine had I would have been able to use it or at least use the o-ring on the old one.

I installed this to replace the factory boots on my 2015 Superduty, 6.7 powerstroke, was a little difficult to get on, but I got it done and it looks good as well as does the job it was intended for.

Definitely not as good as the namebrand pipe but it works. It’s pretty hard to install I mean it’s definitely doable but it’ll take you a little bit of time so prepare for that. I haven’t had it on there long enough to really tell if it makes much of a difference, but, for those of us who can’t afford to put the namebrand parts on every time it’s definitely a good alternative.

Was east to install but no gasket and no lock ring

A little tricky to coordinate the two inner clamps. But well worth the money and works perfectly. My high school automotive students were able to install this.

Perfect fit! Replaced my crappy factory pipe that was leaking… very happy!!!

This was supposed to fit a 2014 6.7 powerstroke in an F350 Super duty. The mandrel bend was incorrect, but didn't even get into that point. As many others have said, this kit doesn't come with a new O-ring. They expect you to use the old original one, that's like saying when you buy a new oil filter, you need to use the old gasket! The milling inside of the tube does not hold the old O-ring in correctly, it will fall out when pushing it onto the turbo. That was enough for me to cancel this repair and return it. When I said the bend was incorrect, I was holding over the original and measuring too while on the bench. I strongly believe there would be fit/clearance issues under the hood. Like the old saying says, "you get what you pay for". Fellow powerstrokers, stay away from this one. You'll have to spend a lot more to get better quality, and oh yeh a NEW O-ring too!
