I'm more inclined to have the inlet tube modified than cutting into the core support more and dropping the radiator down to clear the tube. Earlier today I was working with a fabricator to modify a 2.5" crossover pipe to clear the front driveshaft of a lifted truck. He said he deals mainly with...

It's tight against the top of the core support.

I still have some fitting to do, but it's mostly there. The big issue now is the inlet tube interferes with the lower radiator hose. Any ideas on how to get the radiator to sit lower to clear it without more cutting of the core support?

Awesome, I'll look into snagging a universal kit soon then. I was going to throw a non ferrous metal cutting blade in my chop saw if anything needs to be trimmed down, and use a bead roller to flare the cut ends. I already have 3.5" to 3" reducing elbows ready to order. I just need to get the...

I'm working on installing a 2nd gen Cummins intercooler right now. Was wondering what pipes you used for it.

Welcome! I see an intercooler pipe, what do you have up front there?

Good idea, I have a rattle can of black to cover any cut edges.

The bolts that attach the cross support rods to the core support. This one sticks out about 3/4". I think I going to cut them off flush with the back of the rod.

@FellowTraveler did you have any issues with the core support rod bolts? The seem to stick out quite a bit

I was going to mention that, they are nearly new poly motor mounts. I just had them done about 3 months ago.

I'll have a straight shot to the engine through the core support tomorrow after I get the radiator out. Stay tuned...

I got this one for $90 out of a parts truck. Any universal intercoolers not near this size were $150 or more, so I'm happy with it. No leaks, just some oil residue on the intake side I will flush out before installing. I also plan on taking pictures and measurements along the way for anyone...

Only thing left to do is get the radiator out so I can start cutting in to the core support. I hate draining radiators because it makes a mess...

My reasoning for going with the cummins CAC was because it will fit in the location the existing AC condenser is in and not relocating the oil or transmission coolers at all. The only modifications needed are to remove material from the core support for the CAC inlet and outlet and figure out...

Picked up the 2nd gen IC today. 40.75" between the inlet and outlet, plenty of room for the stock radiator! Now to get the rest of the front end apart and break out the air saw.

I see the bolts. Nice!

No I won't have to modify anything, or they aren't going to work?

Hopefully I dont have to modify the brackets for the oil and transmission coolers too much either.

You make it look like it was supposed to be there from the factory! I arranged to pick up a Cummins intercooler from a part out truck today. I will have time after Christmas to get it fitted and figure out piping. Thanks for the look!

I found that after getting the inner fenders out. I wanted to do it anyway for other reasons, but still good to know. The driver side was a PITA anyway lol. The CAC I'm considering has a core 24"x12"x3", overall width is 31" with tanks attached.
