The CAC318 air charge cooler (also known as a charge air cooler or intercooler) is designed for compatible Kenworth and Peterbilt heavy-duty truck applications. It helps reduce compressed intake air temperatures from the turbocharger before air enters the engine, supporting efficient combustion, airflow performance, and reliable engine operation.
A properly functioning charge air cooler is essential for maintaining power and performance in commercial trucks. When a cooler becomes damaged, clogged, or develops leaks, it can reduce boost efficiency, increase intake temperatures, and affect overall engine reliability.
Before ordering, compare your existing cooler dimensions, mounting points, connection locations, and reference numbers with the specifications above. If you need assistance confirming compatibility, contact King Radiator for help selecting the correct replacement.
Common signs of a failing charge air cooler include reduced engine power, boost leaks, black smoke, higher exhaust temperatures, poor fuel efficiency, and visible cracks or leaks. Damaged cores and leaking end tanks can prevent the cooling system from working properly.
Replacing a damaged CAC318 air charge cooler helps restore proper intake air temperature control and supports consistent heavy-duty truck performance.
The charge air cooler works together with the radiator and other cooling components to maintain proper engine temperatures. King Radiator HD provides heavy-duty truck radiator repair and rebuilding services for Kenworth, Peterbilt, and other commercial truck applications.

A CAC318 charge air cooler lowers compressed air temperatures from the turbocharger before air enters the engine, helping maintain efficient combustion and reliable performance.
Common symptoms include reduced power, boost leaks, black smoke, increased exhaust temperatures, and visible cracks or leaks around the cooler.
Yes. In heavy-duty truck applications, an air charge cooler is commonly called an intercooler because it cools compressed intake air before combustion.
