The AEV Intercooler Skid Plate for 2010+ HD Ram trucks 4500/5500 protects the intercooler (and electronic sway bar disconnect on Power Wagon) from damage, without blocking-off critical airflow. If you currently have an AEV Front Bumper or are considering one, the AEV Intercooler Skid Plate gives you increased protection for added peace of mind when traveling off-the-grid. In 2014, HD Ram Trucks switched to an intercooler that was mounted lower for improved airflow and increased power. However, most of the aftermarket bumpers for these trucks remained the same and did not take into account the new airflow requirements. AEV was mindful of this when designing the HD Front Bumper, so it was absolutely critical that our Skid Plate met those same airflow requirements. For this reason, a vertical 6-bar design (using 1” DOM steel tube) was chosen to offer the best possible combination of airflow to the intercooler, protection, and accessibility for cleaning. Installation is very straight forward and can be done with the Front Bumper on the vehicle. Please Note: The 2010+ HD Ram Intercooler Skid Plate is only compatible with trucks with an AEV Premium Front Bumper installed. This product is not compatible with 2500/3500 models, the OE front bumper or any other aftermarket bumper.
