Frequently Asked Questions
Will the BladeRunner Intercooler Tube Hot Side 3in Ram 1500 14-15 EcoDiesel V6-3.0L (td) - Red connect to factory components (aFe 46-20178-R)?
Confirm the exact vehicle, connection diameters, sensors, mounting points, and whether the listing includes pipes, couplers, clamps, or adapters.
Does an upgraded intercooler require tuning?
Many direct-fit intercoolers can operate with the factory calibration, but supporting modifications and intended boost level can change requirements. Confirm the complete setup.
What should be pressure-tested after installation?
Pressure-test every charge-air or fluid connection, inspect clamps and seals, and verify there is no contact with heat sources, fans, belts, steering, or bodywork.
Are all installation components included?
Only the parts expressly listed for this exact configuration are included. Verify couplers, clamps, brackets, sensors, hoses, and fluids before beginning work.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm aFe part number 46-20178-R, the complete vehicle or specification-based application, and all required supporting components.
- Allow the vehicle to cool, relieve pressure, and capture fluids as required before disconnecting pipes, hoses, or heat exchangers.
- Install the core, pipes, couplers, sensors, clamps, and brackets without preload or contact with heat and moving components.
- Refill and bleed fluid systems or pressure-test charge-air systems, then inspect every connection under operating conditions.
