aFe BladeRunner GT Series Intercooler Kit

2007–2009 Dodge Ram 2500 / Dodge Ram 3500

46-20032

Overview:

The aFe BladeRunner GT Series Intercooler Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for 2007 to 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks. Engineered to optimize airflow and reduce intake air temperatures, this intercooler kit enhances combustion efficiency, resulting in noticeable gains in horsepower and torque. Ideal for diesel truck enthusiasts seeking to maximize their engine’s potential, the BladeRunner intercooler replaces the restrictive factory unit with a superior bar and plate core design that delivers improved cooling and airflow performance.

Utilizing aFe’s exclusive Multiple Directional Vane (MDV) technology, this intercooler directs airflow across the entire core face, ensuring more effective heat dissipation compared to conventional designs. Whether you’re running high boost or looking for a reliable upgrade to support additional performance modifications, the BladeRunner GT Series intercooler is engineered to meet demanding conditions with durability and efficiency.

Key Features:

This intercooler kit combines advanced engineering and premium materials to deliver exceptional performance benefits:

• Exclusive MDV Technology for optimized airflow and enhanced heat transfer
• Massive 3-inch thick bar and plate core for superior cooling capacity
• Tag-welded aluminum end tanks for strength and durability
• Stainless steel spring-loaded T-bolt clamps for secure, leak-free connections
• 5-ply reinforced silicone hump couplings for reliable, flexible fitment
• Four pre-tapped 1/8-inch NPT ports for nitrous oxide systems, gauges, or other accessories
• Test pressure rated at 200 psi, suitable for high boost applications
• Complete installation kit with comprehensive instructions included
• Backed by a limited 2-year warranty for peace of mind

Construction & Design:

The BladeRunner intercooler features a robust bar and plate core design that significantly outperforms the factory tube and fin style cores. This design increases the surface area for heat dissipation while allowing greater airflow volume, which is critical for maintaining lower intake air temperatures under heavy load. The aluminum end tanks are precision tag-welded by certified craftsmen using TIG welding techniques, ensuring maximum strength and durability to withstand the rigors of high-performance use.

The incorporation of MDV technology sets this intercooler apart by channeling airflow across the entire core face rather than just the shortest path between inlet and outlet. This results in more uniform cooling and improved thermal efficiency. The use of stainless steel T-bolt clamps and reinforced silicone couplings guarantees a secure, long-lasting seal that resists leaks and deterioration over time.

Installation & Fitment:

The aFe BladeRunner GT Series Intercooler Kit is designed as a direct-fit upgrade for 2007–2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models, making installation straightforward with no major modifications required. The kit includes all necessary hardware and detailed instructions to facilitate a smooth installation process. Its robust construction and precise fitment ensure compatibility with factory mounting points and existing intake plumbing.
