aFe BladeRunner 2.75in Intercooler Tube Hot Side w/ Coupling and Clamp 10-12 Dodge Ram 6.7L

Cooler Charge Temperatures, More Power for the 2010 Dodge Ram 2500

The aFe BladeRunner front-mount intercooler 46-20088-B is engineered to deliver a bar-and-plate or tube-and-fin core that delivers significantly lower intercooler outlet temperatures than the factory unit at equivalent boost levels for the 2010 Dodge Ram 2500. Built from stainless steel and finished in a durable coating, the 46-20088-B is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory system with no cutting or welding required. Cooler charge air means denser air entering the cylinders, which the engine converts directly into more consistent power output throughout the boost range. The 46-20088-B is an essential upgrade for any turbocharged build that is making more boost or more power than the factory intercooler was designed to support.

Frequently Asked Questions

A charge pipe kit alone typically does not require a tune. A full front-mount intercooler upgrade on a heavily modified engine may benefit from a tune to take full advantage of the cooler charge temps. Consult your tuner when building a complete power package.

Yes. The aFe BladeRunner front-mount intercooler is designed to support power levels well above the factory target. For extreme applications, verify core sizing matches your target power level and contact aFe Power for platform-specific guidance.

No, provided all factory sensor ports are properly transferred or replicated in the new piping. The 46-20088-B is designed to retain all OEM sensor locations. Follow the installation instructions carefully to avoid boost leaks that can trigger fault codes.

After installation, use a boost leak tester (pressurized air at low PSI through the intake) with the engine off to listen or feel for any leaks at all coupler joints. Fix any leaks before driving under boost.

Yes. The 46-20088-B is designed as a bolt-on replacement within the OEM chassis envelope. It is compatible with stock turbos and most popular turbo upgrade kits for the 2010 Dodge Ram 2500. Confirm any dimensional clearances specific to larger turbo compressor housings before ordering.

Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer must demonstrate a direct causal link between this modification and any specific failure to deny a warranty claim. However, on vehicles under factory powertrain warranty, consult your dealer before installing forced induction components.

Inspect the coupler joints and clamps annually or after any hard boost session. Re-torque any clamps that show signs of movement. The powder coat finish is durable but can chip if impacted, so touch up exposed aluminum to prevent oxidation in high-salt environments.

aFe Power provides a limited manufacturer warranty on BladeRunner intercooler systems covering defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage does not include damage from improper installation, boost leaks, or use beyond the rated pressure range. Contact us for full warranty documentation.

Installation Overview

1. Safely lift and support the vehicle as needed for front access to the charge air system
2. Allow the engine to cool completely before working on any boosted charge piping
3. Release all coupler clamps and disconnect the factory charge pipes section by section
4. Transfer all factory boost pressure, MAP, and sensor ports to the new piping as directed
5. Test-fit all new sections before tightening any clamps to confirm routing and clearances
6. Install all silicone couplers and tighten all clamps to specification to prevent boost leaks
7. Confirm full clearance from moving components, hot surfaces, and the hood
8. Perform a boost leak test before the first drive under full boost pressure
