Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-RAM-94BK is a direct-fit performance intercooler engineered specifically for the 1994-2002 Dodge 5.9L Cummins, offered here in Stealth Black. Built with cast aluminum end tanks and a bar-and-plate core, it delivers a 47-percent increase in core volume and a core that’s 50-percent thicker than the factory unit, resulting in a proven 25-percent drop in intake air temperatures compared to the factory cooler.
High intake and exhaust gas temperatures can rob performance and stress internal components, so Mishimoto engineered this intercooler as the centerpiece of a complete forced induction system upgrade for both 12-valve and 24-valve trucks. The bar-and-plate core and cast aluminum end tanks work together to move more air through the induction system, while an air diverter built into the hot-side end tank reduces turbulence and evenly distributes airflow across the core. Lower AITs mean a denser incoming air charge, reduced turbo stress, and extended turbo life, whether the truck is running a stock tune or has been heavily modified to support substantial boost pressure. This performance induction upgrade is designed to pair with the Mishimoto 5.9L Cummins Intercooler Pipe and Boot Kit and the Mishimoto Dodge 5.9L Cummins Performance Aluminum Radiator for a more complete cooling and induction system overhaul, and it’s backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
