Detailed Description

Spectra Premium intercoolers are engineered to move compressed air through the charge-air system with minimal restriction while helping shed heat efficiently. For diesel truck owners searching for a Ford F-250 Super Duty intercooler or Ford F-350 Super Duty intercooler, the Spectra 4401-1520 provides the core dimensions and connection sizes needed for the listed 2011-2016 applications. The aluminum construction supports thermal transfer, while the male inlet and outlet fittings simplify matching to the factory-style plumbing layout.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6011 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Reduced charge-air cooling efficiency from a damaged or restricted intercooler
• Pressure loss in the turbocharger-to-intake air path
• Heat buildup in the intake charge under load
• Fitment issues caused by a worn or leaking factory intercooler
• Restoration of proper turbocharged engine airflow on Super Duty trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet sizes before installation: 3.125 in. inlet and 3.0625 in. outlet. Confirm the vehicle is a 2011-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty or 2011-2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty before ordering. Inspect charge pipes, clamps, and mounting points for wear or damage during replacement so the new intercooler seats correctly and seals properly.

Quality Assurance

Built by Spectra Premium using aluminum core construction and application-specific dimensions for the listed Ford Super Duty fitments. The design focuses on lowering pressure drop and improving heat dissipation to support efficient turbocharger operation.
