Banks Power Intercooler Upgrade (F&R)

Dodge Ram 2500 / Ram 3500 07-08 6.7L Diesel/5.9L Diesel

Part #: 25983

Overview

The Banks Power Intercooler Upgrade (Front & Rear) is a high-performance cooling solution designed specifically for the 2007–2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. This intercooler system is engineered to deliver more safe, reliable power by significantly improving the density and volume of the intake air. By reducing boost air temperatures and increasing airflow, it enhances combustion efficiency, resulting in higher continuous power output, improved fuel economy, and lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs).

Ideal for diesel enthusiasts and professionals seeking to maximize their truck’s performance and durability, this upgrade outperforms the stock intercooler by a wide margin. It supports sustained heavy-duty operation without compromising reliability, making it a smart investment for those who demand more from their Cummins-powered Dodge Ram.

Key Features

This intercooler upgrade incorporates advanced design elements and premium materials to optimize cooling and airflow. Key features include:

• Mandrel-bent 3.5-inch high-flow boost tubes for minimal airflow restriction
• Wide-open inlet and outlet ports with 31% larger cross-sections than stock
• 12% thicker core area providing a major increase in cooling volume
• High-efficiency, custom-machined durable cast aluminum end tanks
• Significant reduction in boost air temperature for denser, oxygen-rich air
• Lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) for improved engine longevity
• Enhanced fuel economy through improved combustion efficiency
• Minimal boost pressure loss to maintain strong, consistent power delivery
• Includes all necessary mounting hardware for straightforward installation
• Backed by a 2-year warranty for peace of mind

Construction & Design

The Banks Intercooler Upgrade features a robust construction built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty diesel use. The core is 12% thicker than the factory unit, increasing the volume of air it can cool effectively. The intercooler’s end tanks are crafted from high-quality cast aluminum, precision-machined to ensure durability and efficient airflow. Mandrel-bent 3.5-inch boost tubes maintain smooth airflow transitions, reducing turbulence and pressure drop. This thoughtful engineering results in a system that maximizes cooling capacity while minimizing any loss in boost pressure.

Performance & Sound

By delivering cooler, denser air to the engine’s cylinders, the Banks Intercooler Upgrade enhances combustion efficiency, which translates to higher continuous power output at any exhaust gas temperature. The improved airflow reduces the engine’s thermal stress, lowering EGTs and helping to maintain optimal performance during demanding driving conditions. While primarily focused on performance and reliability, this upgrade also contributes to better fuel economy, making it a balanced solution for power and efficiency.

Installation & Fitment

This intercooler upgrade is designed as a direct fit for 2007 and 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Installation is straightforward, utilizing included mounting hardware and requiring no major modifications. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment and optimal performance, but experienced enthusiasts with mechanical skills can complete the upgrade with standard tools.
