• Q: How Can an Intercooler Be Cleaned to Prevent Damage and Ensure Optimal Maintenance on 2008 Dodge Sprinter 3500?

  A: Do not apply caustic cleaner to the charge air cooler because it may damage it. If it's not possible to clear debris inside, you need to replace the charge air cooler. If a turbocharger fails or oil or debris find their way into the charge air cooler, you must remove the debris from inside the unit. Orient the charge air cooler, so that its inlet and outlet tubes stand up, then wash them out from end to end in the opposite direction of typical air movement within the cooler. Swish the contents of the cooler and shake the end tanks with a rubber mallet to remove any loose debris inside. Thoroughly wash and rinse the cooler with hot soapy water, then use completely clean water and dry it using a sturdy air jet.
