Post 2001 INTERCOOLER PART #

Don't know if this has been posted yet! If not, here is the new 2001 intercooler part#

Service Part-
1L3Z-6K775-AA
For those of you waiting on an intercooler, you may want to push your dealer for the 2001. Make sure the dealer replaces ALL the bolts after they have been removed. They are a one-time use only!! Insist on it before the job is started.

Service part#

Thor01,
Would you have a parts list for the intercooler replacement? Dealer had my truck all day yesterday for the "FIX" However they discovered they didn't have the intercooler.
Like to make sure they have it all before they get Truck in pieces.
Thanks, Jim

Reality1,
The part number I have listed would be the "Fix". Ford will not redisgn the lower intake to fit a new intercooler. Ford is into saving where they can and make the part last. The company that made the intercooler is not Ford. It's a supplier! Ford will kill to birds with one stone by making the 2001 intercooler universal for 99.5 - 2001.

Just make sure the dealer replaces the bolts! They are a one-time use only! The par number I posted is a service part and all the SVT dealers should have it in their computer by now! If they say they don't they are yanking your chain!! They get money off warranty work. If you can hold off for the 2001 intercooler it would be in your best interest!

Thor,
Are you saying there is a different part number for the 2001 IC? I'm waiting for gaskets-hopefully bolts.

The 2001 intercooler will not fit the 99-00. There has been some talk of a retro fit which I believe would require a new intake. Highly unlikely as the programming would also have to be changed. Your chip, if you have one, would also have to be changed. Unlikely unless they all fail and they get sued again. Ford lives in court.

I also heard the wiring harnesses are different, whatever that means...

noelvm,
I have looked at the new illustration drawings on the 2001 and compared it to the 99.5 - 2000. No difference!! I also called one of the 5.4 Engine guys at work. No change to the lower intake.

I know we don't do Engine-engineering out of texas. Roush helped Engineer the S/charger package for the truck! Ford does watch this board and I can't say all I know. I can try to help to an extent.

Any information I give will not be about future programs. Just tech information when people need help. I don't know where you get your information? I can be sure 99.9% that what im told is right.

Not trying to get in a pi$$ing match here. I hate to see you guys having to deal with the intercooler and lower control arm problems and the Bull you get from the dealers.

The heads, trans, engine calibration all improved for 2001. Giving the extra 15 - 20 horses.


The base part# for the lower intake is a -9J447-. Gasket for the lower intake is -9461-
intercooler gasket is -9M436-. Manifold asy Intake is -9424-. Gasket for supercharger to intakemanifold asy is -9H486-. Supercharger & Plnm asy is -6F076-. Don't have the prefix and sufix numbers for 99.5-2000 MY.

The wiring has not changed unless I missed something looking at the wiring schematics.

I Hope this helps a few of you. You can go to the parts department and have them look up these base part numbers if some of you plan on getting into the engine. I'll be building a second engine as soon as I get the Block, rods and heads. I have to wait on the Cobra R crank. Christmas doesn't help!!

Talk at you all later!

Well thats all very interesting. I wonder how we find out what the differences are? When ford changes a part number it's usually for a non compatability reason. I've had mine changed once and the only difference, if any, anyone has noted is an increased amount of soder on the joints.

Thor01,
Thanks, really appreciate the help. Just to make sure I have things straight...The 01 intercooler will fit with my manifold.
Do I need a 2001 supercharger?

Reality1,
No you don't need a new s/charger! The 2001 is the same.

noelvm,
The prefix changed, the base number is the same. If the base changed then you would be correct about a new part!

K_Schmidt,
From the looks of it, the engine harness looks the same. As for the the rest of the truck, don't know.

Tundra,
Correction, the engine harness did change! The ACT sensor moved from left rear side of the lower intake to the right side and forward about half way! Did't see the change in the illustrations on the right side.(Sorry). Need to get my eyes checked!! Ha,Ha.

Burinout101,
The wiring illustration shows two connectors and has them numberd as ACT & ACT#2. They are marked as B&A installed.

Meaning it requires another part for asy. It shows the harness alone with the connectors. ACT#1 is at the front of the engine. Would be safe to say that one would be between the T-body and Mass-Air Meter. #2 is located near the back of the engine.

Doesn't give an exact location. I don't see the sensor on the maifold they have pictured with the S/carger asy! It must be on a part that is installed on the line. I'll track it down!!

Question

Thor01. This is not what SVE is explaining to SVT dealerships in Texas. We have conflicting information here concerning a change in new lower manifold manufacture. Tommy Vaughn Motors in Houston is told that a "new" lower manifold is a fact and that it "will not" fix earlier Lightning year models. (99-2000). I have spoke to Babolt and I believe he did explain to me the same information. Someone page Ba...we need more input to validate any claims...at this point in time...there are 2 stories in circulation

Thumbs up

whitelightnin'
I have met BABOLT! Works down the street from me! Nice guy & Knows his stuff!! Has a nice L also. If he knows it's different I'll e-mail him tomorrow!

I have looked at the lower intake drawings and the intercoolers are the same measurements in size and looking at the illustration drawings look the same between 2000 & 2001 slight visual changes in casting but they take the same gaskets. Maybe the person I talked to doesn't know the changes? I'll get with BABOLT and ask him if he's heard different!

Later and thanks for telling me Ba having info! I need to know before I start working on my new engine for the 2001!
