Intercooler install tips

Do these bigger intercoolers that block the radiator cause coolant temperature issues? Wondering if I could get away with one in Arizona in 120 degree heat?

No you’ll be fine! Plenty of gen 2’s around here with intercooler kits.

I finally got it done today. Not hard just time consuming. Little trial and error but not hard to figure out. Didn’t watch one YouTube video. Ha

It would be nice to get that intercooler in a black option.

COBB makes an all black one, little different set up

Cobb doesn’t have one available for the gen 3’s yet according to their site. Has anyone done the cobb fmic for gen 2 on their gen 3 yet?

Yes, the Gen 2 intercooler will fit on a Gen 3, you just need a small extension piece, this has been confirmed by several people, and I will be able to confirm it as well this weekend! The Swarfworks website even gives you a link to the piece that you need: https://swarfworks.com/2021-ford-raptor-gen3-hidden-front-winch-mount/

I can confirm that the Cobb Gen 2 intercooler fits on the Gen 3 without any modifications, I just installed mine tonight! I will however clarify that it appears that Cobb just recently started including the coupler needed to make it fit on a Gen 3! Mine came with an extra coupler, which at first I thought was weird, but after watching their install video I realized that it the extra coupler was to replace the one used for the Gen 2 and made it work with the Gen 3!
