new intercooler

[maine dmax]

I'm shure this has been discussed before, sorry but I'm looking at a new intercooler, Spearco seems to be popular, but reading Banks adds, I know, I know, there's seems to be better all around, they are also less money, which worries me. Any experience with a Banks or BD? It seems most have Spearco but I don't know if they are really better. Thanks

Banks intercooler test in all the mags is alittle skewed, BD would have been right there or beat them if aftermarket boost tubes had been used instead of the stock ones.

BD gets my vote also , and i have ran the Banks and the BD

BD if you can get them to call you back If not Spearco/PPE or Banks are both pretty well built intercoolers assuming your not running 100lbs of boost anyways

I'm in the market for an aftermarket intercooler, seeing how this thread is a couple years old just asking if BD is still the way to go.
Anyone have problems with durability?

I really like my AFE bladerunner . I bet it was almost twice as thick as my stock one .

I have the CG&J "high performance" intercooler. It is really thick, I think 2.8"?? No complaints, it is a really nice quality piece. It replaced my factory one that had a huge leak in it, so whether it really did anything, I cant say...but it certainly didnt hurt.

this is what happened to my spearco just a couple weeks ago....Not to impressed

CG&J is probably the best for the dollar out there, bar none. Stay away from the Spearco ones. They will crack on you sooner or later but it will happen.

Pretty happy with the Banks in my LB7. no issues, but Ive only owned the truck for a year

This thread is making me have second thoughts about the spearco that I scored for half price today...

No problems out of my banks on 60+ psi

I like my BD, it has been working great.

Stock works pretty good
