Product Description
CNC Fabrication 423024 99.5-03 7.3L Charge Air Cooler Boot Kit - Blue
The CNC Fabrication 423024 Charge Air Cooler Boot Kit is a complete upgraded intercooler and intake boot solution for 1999.5-2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engines. Designed as a direct replacement for aging factory boots, this kit features premium 5-layer aramid reinforced silicone construction capable of handling elevated boost pressures, extreme temperatures, towing demands, and performance applications.
Unlike factory rubber boots that can crack, weaken, or fail under increased boost levels, the CNC Fabrication 423024 kit utilizes heavy-duty blue silicone boots reinforced with factory-style support rings and secured with American-made stainless steel T-bolt clamps. Whether your truck is stock, tuned, towing heavy loads, or built for performance, this complete charge air cooler boot kit provides improved reliability and long-term durability.
