Charge Air Cooler
#1

I bought #721 a couple months ago and then Had a charge air cooler fail, tank cracked at welds. I see there is a lot of info on them failing so I thought I would share this, I had a couple company's quote new one but they were 6 weeks out. I called Atlas and they said three weeks out and I got it in two, the new one is built much better than original and the tanks seem to be built out square tubbing with a extra layer of aluminum welded on the ends.
While doing this I'm having Rad rebuilt, replacing turbo, replacing flex pipe and all hoses.

Pressure test anything from Atlus before installation.

Use constant tension hose clamps.

Good time to run the overhead (valve adjustment) on the engine.

Check exhaust system, especially the flex connection. You will never have better access.

Thanks, replacing all clamps and hoses. Did replace Flex pipe and clamps and your probably right I should do an overhead.
