firstly there are many different types of intercooler cores that are used on trucks, like stock turbo cars there are some good factory coolers and some totally crap ones.

If you get a decent core it will preform relatively well if it has well designed end tanks. However if you are aiming for high HP dont waste your time considering you will need to get it custom made up probably and this will cost a bit anyway.

I have seen a few truck cores, cut one up once actually and i wouldnt even use that on a commodore, but i have seen some that would work ok.

so it depends on the cost, what needs to be done to it and what you want it to do as to wether it is worth getting or not.

I heard people saying that to use the Freightliner cooler? It would come down to the motor the truck is using wouldn't it? Because Cummins/Detroit/Cat would all supply different intercoolers with their motors? And you can't tell me that frieghtliner stuck to one brand, coz I have seen the above 3 mentioned in these trucks.

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
