Product Description

The Ford F-150 and Raptor are capable trucks, but the 3.5L EcoBoost has a well-known Achilles' heel: the intercooler. The factory unit is undersized and prone to "heat soak" quickly, especially when towing heavy loads or blasting through dunes at low speeds. When intake temps rise, the ECU pulls timing, and that monster torque curve goes flat. COBB Tuning offers two distinct ways to fix this, depending on how the truck is used.

Option 1: Factory Location (The "Sleeper" Upgrade) For the driver who wants a hassle-free install and OEM+ fitment, the Factory Location Kit is the answer. COBB engineers utilized CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to design end tanks that smooth out turbulence, paired with a core that is 70% larger by volume. It fits snugly against the factory shutter shroud, forcing ambient air through the fins just like Ford intended—but with vastly more cooling power. It’s perfect for the daily driver or tow rig. Plus, for the horsepower junkies, the end tanks feature casting bosses specifically designed to be tapped for Methanol Injection.

Option 2: Relocated Mount (The "Baja" Upgrade) For the Raptor owner chasing big power or running in extreme heat, the Relocated Kit is the nuclear option. This kit moves the intercooler up from the lower bumper to directly behind the main grille. The core size jumps to a massive 24" x 14" x 3.5". This drastic increase in surface area sheds heat instantly, keeping Intake Air Temps (IATs) pinned near ambient even during abusive desert runs. Despite the size, COBB ensured it retains the Adaptive Cruise Control functionality, so you don't have to sacrifice modern comfort for raw performance.

Heat is the enemy of horsepower. Whether you choose the ease of the Factory Location unit or the raw thermal mass of the Relocated core, upgrading the intercooler is the best "bang-for-your-buck" modification for the EcoBoost platform. It protects the engine, restores lost power, and prepares the truck for aggressive tuning. Don't let a hot day ruin the drive—cool it down with COBB.
