Ford Ranger Intercooler Replacement, Loss of Power, Limp Mode

In this video i cover a Common Problem with the Ford Ranger PX which is the intercooler splitting and the solution for it. This is the same for the Ford Everest , Ranger PX1 PX2 PX3 & Mazda BT 50

[@russellbanfield1704]

As a Ranger owner, i find this very informative. Thanks for going to the trouble to post.

[@michaelbooyzen8765]

[@christophertownley6734]

Thank you so much. The independent garage next door said oh its an all day job replacing the intercooler. Bumper winch etc has to come off. . thabks to you told them its literally pull the grill four bolts two hoses less than an hour; honestly wish i had done myself and saved the business money.

[@Robdutton91]

Robbing cnts, literally takes half hour at most

[@69deviousdog]

Nice video. Can you show us how you did the EGR Cooler bypass?

[@Tammy-xf4kz]

Good day legend, i have a 2014 px ranger and iam getting the P00BD fault code but only on cold mornings and if i go over 100kmhs trying to overtake on the freeway, i have replaced the intercooler pipes hot and cold and intercooler itself i dont know what else to check?

[@fakehandyandy904]

Mine literally had this problem last week. Split intercooler

[@paulcoyle6676]

Hi, Nice video. Did you trim the two black ducts so that they could fit or did you leave them out?

[@vonlogan1]

Im in the process of switching out intercoolers at the moment. Like you I went with an intercooler that looks almost identical to the Forefront one (in that its considerably larger than the stock one). What I want to know is, were you able to get those black plastic side pieces back over the new intercooler? They were difficult to remove with the stock one, I'm not sure I'll be able to squeeze them back into place. Your video at 8:34 looks like you just skipped putting them back in. Was that the case?

[@SigZA]

I have the same question. I tried removing mine, but it seems impossible without first removing the bumper. Also it doesn’t look like they will fit over an inter-cooler that is thicker than the stock one.

[@vonlogan1]

⁠@@SigZAyeah I asked around and most people said they just tossed them. Not worth bothering. So that’s what I did. I also added a straight (careless) down pipe yesterday, before taking the truck in a 5 hour loop. Feels like a different truck. Especially when over taking on an incline.

[@vonlogan1]

@@SigZAyou don’t have to remove the bumper to get them out. But to might have to slightly bend them.

[@Ryon915]

Hi morning, thanks for sharing, your videos have been very in formative. I would like to purchase one of thase intercooler. If you know where i can get a used one that would be great. Thanks

[@abdautomotive]

ebay

[@0701jacques]

Hi, your video's are very helpful. I have 2015 ford ranger T6 and live in South Africa. When I drive over 140km/hour, my Ford goes into limp mode. I did change my Turbo, and my injectors were recently replaced. What else can it be, if you can help?

[@abdautomotive]

fault code?

[@isacfrancisci9068]

Bro slow down 😂

[@kevinbennett7676]

great video...simplifies how to change it..ihave a 2.2 px1 ranger...can you put a second hand one from a 3,2 in it...i get the transmission light come but no engine light on...limp mode..not much noise though...revs dont get that high but can slowly gain speed...got the same code air flow prob and mechanic says intercooler leaking so causing the problem..do you think he is right...and any idea why the transmission warning comes on in a manual...look forward to your reply

[@abdautomotive]

sounds like an intercooler or an intercooler hose, i've blown 2 plastic intercoolers so far before i went aluminium, a 3.2 intercooler will fit straight in, you should be able to see an oil stain on the intercooler fins where it's leaking, that will confirm it.

[@jack-pp5pc]

How do you remove the intercooler from the donor car bt50? I found that the intercooler hitting the headlamp / front bumper support

[@abdautomotive]

it came straight out for me

[@turbostyler]

That's a great score for 150 bucks. Is there any noticeable difference in day to day driving with the bigger intercooler. I know when I got my intercooler done a long time ago in my petrol 2.0l turbo it felt like it picked up heaps more torque and was wondering if its the same feeling with the diesel?

[@abdautomotive]

yes it picked up more torque, i think that's due to a better flowing core & lower intake temps.

[@turbostyler]

@@abdautomotive Thanks mate, I might go look for a second hand one like yourself.

[@calebjones7769]

How much life did you get from your shocks ?

[@kylemacca6602]

hey mate when are you going to do a engine oil change video

[@abdautomotive]

im going to do an oil pump removal/install video which will cover that

[@luischiong4458]

Hello, Are you using the same factory turbo?

[@abdautomotive]

yes still the factory unit

[@luischiong4458]

I have the same problem with my ranger, thinking backwards, I hit my car and since that I notice many times loose of power. I will change the intercooler unit. Thanks for your videos.

[@tombradley4842]

Are the intercooler repairable??

[@abdautomotive]

no, get a aluminium one , you'll never replace it again

[@willpower3556]

can this also relate to a P00BC code?

[@abdautomotive]

no, i think that it more MAF sensor related

[@willpower3556]

@@abdautomotive oh ok only just changed it and still get the same code. Just changed all the hoses and intercooler plus new air filter. The ranger is driving me mad

[@Robdutton91]

I had a MAF code when my rubber hose split. Replaced the hose and it went away again
