Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-DMAX-02KSL is a complete Silver forced induction intercooler kit built specifically for 6.6L Duramax LB7 trucks, pairing a bar-and-plate core intercooler with cast aluminum end tanks and mandrel-bent aluminum piping. Backed by a Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty, this kit replaces the restrictive factory setup with a design engineered around greater core volume for denser, cooler air delivery.
High EGTs and an undersized intercooler can hold back any Duramax-powered truck, and this Mishimoto forced induction system addresses both. The polished, mandrel-bent aluminum piping eliminates restrictive bends for smooth, unimpeded airflow, while Mishimoto silicone boots with DuraCore technology and constant-tension T-bolt clamps provide superior resistance to heat, pressure, fuel, and oil compared to standard silicone, extending the life of the induction system by preventing leaks and blowouts. Together, the piping, boots, clamps, and intercooler work as a full induction engine cooling package that improves airflow, substantially lowers air-charge temperatures, and helps reduce stress on the turbo.
Vehicle Applications
This kit is a direct fit for 2001–2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Base, LS, and LT models and the 2003–2005 Silverado 2500 HD WT, along with the 2001–2004 Silverado 3500 Base, LS, and LT and the 2004 Silverado 3500 WT. On the GMC side it covers the 2002–2004 Sierra 2500 HD Base, 2001–2002 Sierra 2500 HD SL, 2001–2004 Sierra 2500 HD SLE and SLT, and 2003–2004 Sierra 2500 HD WT, as well as the 2002–2004 Sierra 3500 Base, 2001–2002 Sierra 3500 SL, 2001–2004 Sierra 3500 SLE and SLT, and the 2004 Sierra 3500 WT. Mishimoto also references this intercooler kit as a direct fit for 2002-2004.5 Chevrolet and GMC trucks equipped with the 6.6L Duramax LB7 engine.
