Ford 6.7L Powerstroke Upgraded Intercooler 50% Larger Core | 2011–2026

Overview

The 6.7 Powerstroke upgraded intercooler is an all-aluminum, bar-and-plate charge-air cooler for 2011–2026 Ford Super Duty trucks with the 6.7L Powerstroke diesel. Its core is approximately 50% larger than the factory intercooler, adding cooling capacity to help control intake-air temperatures and EGTs when towing or under sustained load.

Compatibility

Sold in two generation-specific versions. Select the version that matches your truck's model year.

Not interchangeable: The 2011–2016 and 2017–2026 versions are specific to their model years.

Technical Specifications

• Engine: Ford 6.7L Powerstroke turbo diesel
• Construction: All-aluminum
• Core type: Bar-and-plate
• Core size: Approximately 50% larger than factory
• Weight: Approximately 30 lb

Key Features & Build Details

• Bar-and-plate core: Uses brazed bars and plates to form the charge-air and cooling passages. This design is built for rigidity and stands up to repeated boost and heat cycles.
• All-aluminum construction: Aluminum transfers heat efficiently and resists corrosion.
• 50% larger core: More core volume and surface area are available for heat transfer from the compressed intake charge.
• Generation-specific design: Separate versions for the 2011–2016 and 2017–2026 Super Duty platforms.

Performance Benefits

• Lower intake-air temperatures: Added cooling capacity helps manage charge-air temperature, especially during sustained load.
• Helps reduce EGTs: A cooler, denser intake charge supports lower exhaust gas temperatures when towing or hauling.
• More consistent performance under load: Extra thermal capacity helps limit heat soak on long grades and repeated pulls.
• Increased airflow: The larger core provides improved airflow compared with the factory intercooler.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 2017–2026 version fit the F-550?

The 2017–2026 F-550 is not listed for this version. Fitment for that model year range is limited to the F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty.

How much bigger is this than the stock 6.7 Powerstroke intercooler?

The core is approximately 50% larger than the factory intercooler core.

Will an upgraded intercooler lower EGTs on a 6.7 Powerstroke?

It is designed to help. A larger core cools the intake charge more effectively, which supports lower EGTs under heavy load. Actual results depend on tuning, load, ambient temperature and other modifications.

What is a bar-and-plate intercooler?

A bar-and-plate intercooler uses stacked, brazed aluminum bars and plates to form its internal passages. The construction is known for strength and durability under high boost and repeated heat cycling.
