I'm curious and wanted to do a "little'' weekend project and remove my intercooler and see how much water is in it. Had the most recent TSB done 2 weeks ago but besides smoother idle even though it was already smooth, shudder is still there and fuel economy has dropped from an easy 11 ltr/100km to 13 ltr/100km.

Has anyone removed it ?
How long did it take ?
Is it hard to do ?


Thanks

13L/100K is still pretty good!! Unless thats highway.

It's easy, I did it in no time. I think I slid it out the bottom. I did mine cause of this though.

Yes unfortunately, it is mostly highway/country roads at either 107km/hr or 80km/hr.

So...your truck is under warranty yet you want to start tearing things apart because you are bored? Wow..

Vwluca

Dear Tanner2, Yap as bored as you were when you started a thread asking question about installing a cold air intake..

You wanted to have colder air !
I wanted to remove water from the air !

Oh, by the way, both our trucks are under warranty and thanks for your advise.

Same here.. would love to hear what someone with a '13 or TSB updated 11/12 found - how much water poured out of it, if any?

I can remove mine in 15 mins did it at the dyno and had the full race unit on in 12 mins total swap time 27mins but I have done it a few times already


Yes you can do it it is easy.. But be prepared its not just water in there its oil too from the PCV system also. These trucks need catch cans BAD!~!
