aFe BladeRunner GT Intercooler with Tubes

2010–2011.5 Dodge / RAM 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins

Part #: 46-20082

Overview

The aFe BladeRunner GT Intercooler with Tubes is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for 2010 to mid-2011 Dodge and RAM 2500/3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Engineered to replace the factory intercooler, this advanced intercooler system delivers superior cooling efficiency and airflow, making it ideal for diesel enthusiasts seeking enhanced power and reliability under demanding conditions.

Built to handle high boost pressures, the BladeRunner GT intercooler significantly reduces intake air temperatures, which improves combustion efficiency and engine performance. Whether you are running a stock setup or a heavily modified powertrain, this intercooler is designed to support your truck’s needs for cooler, denser air and consistent performance.

Key Features

The BladeRunner GT intercooler incorporates cutting-edge technology and robust construction to outperform OEM-style units. Key features include:

• 3-inch bar and plate core design that surpasses traditional tube and fin cores in cooling and durability
• End tanks made from 3/16-inch TIG welded aluminum plate for superior strength and heat dissipation
• Three multi-directional internal vanes in the end tanks to optimize airflow distribution across the entire core
• Four 1/8-inch pre-tapped ports for easy installation of gauges or auxiliary inputs
• Tested to withstand up to 200 psi, making it suitable for high-boost applications
• Proven to reduce intake air temperature by up to 200 degrees and exhaust gas temperature by 100 degrees
• Improves airflow by approximately 30% compared to factory intercoolers

Construction & Design

The BladeRunner GT intercooler features a rugged bar and plate core constructed from high-quality aluminum, which offers excellent thermal conductivity and durability. The 3-inch core thickness maximizes surface area for heat exchange, while the 3/16-inch thick aluminum end tanks provide structural integrity and resistance to boost pressure.

Advanced TIG welding ensures airtight and leak-free joints, critical for maintaining boost pressure and preventing performance loss. The internal multi-directional vanes are engineered to direct incoming air evenly through the core, eliminating hotspots and ensuring consistent cooling across the entire intercooler.

Performance & Sound

By significantly lowering intake air temperatures, the BladeRunner GT intercooler enhances combustion efficiency and reduces exhaust gas temperatures, contributing to improved engine longevity and power output. The increased airflow capacity supports higher boost levels without the risk of heat soak, making it an excellent choice for performance builds and towing applications.

Installation & Fitment

This intercooler is designed as a direct fit replacement for the 2010 to 2011.5 Dodge and RAM 2500/3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Installation requires no major modifications and utilizes existing mounting points and hardware. The pre-tapped ports simplify the addition of boost or temperature gauges, allowing for easy monitoring of system performance.
