Csf 6028 intercooler!

slc6oh · Mar 19, 2016

put my 6028 on today, perfect fit.. cant really comment on egt loss, as I see 1000 even under a pretty heavy pull. and wasn't noticeably higher with the stock cooler.

I bought just for the simple fact that its got alum end tanks that wont blow off at 40+ psi.

core is 3/4" thicker than stock as well.

Imo an aftermarket intercooler is the number 1 under looked modification to a 6liter. These trucks are getting older and with crankcase vents in place they just get flat out plugged.

The benefits of the intercooler wayyyyy outshine one of those silly ported intake manifolds.

My personal truck picked up .12 in the 1/8th on my first fuel only pass with my hellmans intercooler.

Just food for thought.

^^^ I think that is what happened to my old intercooler. I agree 100%

Little roll to 1/2 throttle or so, stock charger and intercooler woulda been 1400 easily

I know guys back in the day that swapped and made no difference. But I think over the years the stock intercooler can get plugged up.

I noticed a big difference in spool up and lower egts. I could not believe the turbo spooled up faster... but it did.

No limit intake + upgraded intercooler + ported intake manifold = HUGE DIFFERENCE. Cooler, cleaner, and faster spooling all across the board.

The price and name. That is the info that I got. I used to sell CSF (through a distributor)... I still do sell them but not as much. They really don't have any MAP pricing. I can find them on EBAY for Less than my cost on them. The market quickly got destroyed for any dealers because it is not possible to make any money.

Then came along the 7016... when I asked I was told it was "replacing" the 6028" but they were exactly the same and they are both still sold. You will see the 7016 on more sites like XDP.

Anybody try the CSF 6013 OEM replacement? Is there that big of difference between the 6013 and 6028? I know the bar and plate vs tube and fin, but performance wise is it worth the money to gain?

Amicus · Jun 25, 2018

Just installed the 6013. Don't know what the 6028 looks like but the 6013 was nice and was a direct fit. It seems to work great.

Zeb · Jun 26, 2018

6013 gets my vote. Bang for the buck they are awesome. I’ve used several on customers trucks and they always fit flawlessly.
I have a 6028 on my wife’s Excursion. Only fitment issue I had was the thicker core hit the trans cooler. A rubber grommet off a 6.0 valve cover bolt on each side between the cooler and the core support solved that problem.
I prefer a tube and fine core also, so once again, the 6013 gets my vote.

PSD POWER007 · Jun 26, 2018

The 6028 fit perfectly on my 05 Excursion. That’s even with the front mount BPD oil cooler squeezed in there.

KCTurbos · Jun 26, 2018

The 6013 is basically a stock replacement with metal ends

The 6028 is a bar n plate design. Cools better and flows more.

dieselpips · Jun 27, 2018

I was able to order a 6028 for less than $300 from APW a couple days ago. Seems like a pretty good deal for what ya'll say I'll be getting. Thanks for the responses.
