I picked up an intercooler out of a 05 duramax at a swap meet really cheap...was wondering if there was anyone out there that has put that in a 92 dodge before...hah could use some help..mock up sucks but its slowly going!! anything helps guys!!!

I don't think they will fit. Also if I remember right they have plastic ends.

Jordan Kopp 09-10-2012 11:33 PM

i can make it fit...i was just wondering if anyone has done it and can give me any pointers..and this one is all aluminum...i just need to get a big hole saw so i can make a few cuts and then hope it will work with the grill and header panel! its going to be tight!

i couldnt get it to upload the one i doodled on but you see in the second picture there i had to cut the stock intercooler mounts and the center mount for the lower grill piece off, i need to get a spot weld cutter from my buddys shop this after noon and both of the upright stiffeners are going to have to go for the time being, will snap some more pics morrow depending how far along i get tonight

Great looking project!!! Got any photos of the candidate truck?? I will be watching this one!!:pca1:

A BFH will make it fit! Looks like some engineering is in order. Keep us informed. I, for one, am very interested.:c:

the pictures may be out of order a bit but it all happened tonight, also there is a pic of the donar truck, 92...nothing special, turned up pump and in the process of putting a getrag 5 speed in.... but i had to cut the radiator support basically to nothing. took the up right supports with the spot weld cutter and then had to cut the bottom horizontal brace to where it was flush with the main piece of sheet metal.

here you can see the bottom horizontal brace cut, its kind of crud in this pic but you get the idea. i dont want anything in my way. also in the other pic, i am going to have to cut all the mounts off of the intercooler and hope things work, (fingers crossed) i ran into an issue looking at the donar truck. i think the A/C condenser is going to have to go behind the intercooler seeing is this intercooler is about 6 inches wider than stock and the stock lines for the A/C condenser are just wide enuf to past the stock intercooler....will keep you posted on that process but anyways, i have more cuts than people need to deal with in one night and morrow hopefully i get some more sawsall blades and another flap disk for the grinder so i can get the intercooler brackets all cut off.
