Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit, part number MMINT-F2D-99KSLBK, upgrades the factory forced induction system on 1999-2003 Ford F-Series 7.3L Powerstroke trucks with a complete stock-replacement solution. This configuration pairs the proven 6.0L Powerstroke bar-and-plate intercooler core — now repurposed for 7.3L applications — with a Sleek Silver core, wrinkle-black powder-coated aluminum piping, and custom Mishimoto DuraCore silicone boots built specifically for the 7.3L conversion.
As a purpose-built forced induction upgrade, this kit lowers air charge temperatures and reduces EGTs to support reliable performance at any power level. The bar-and-plate core delivers a 32.5% increase in core volume over the stock 7.3L intercooler, with a 3.35-inch core that is 33% thicker than factory for a genuine gain in cooling capacity without adding unnecessary pressure drop. Strategically designed cast aluminum end tanks optimize airflow through the core, while the improved induction system reduces turbo stress and helps extend engine life by keeping intake air denser and cooler. Mishimoto’s DuraCore silicone boots resist heat, pressure, fuel, and oil better than standard silicone, guarding against leaks and blowouts, and the included constant-tension T-bolt clamps keep every connection secure through repeated heat cycles.
