The CAC342 air charge cooler (also called a charge air cooler or intercooler) is designed for compatible International heavy-duty trucks. It cools compressed air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine, helping maintain efficient airflow, combustion performance, and dependable truck operation.
A properly functioning charge air cooler is essential for maintaining engine efficiency in commercial trucks. The CAC342 replacement cooler helps reduce intake air temperatures, support turbocharger performance, and maintain reliable operation under demanding driving conditions.
Before ordering, compare your existing cooler dimensions, mounting points, inlet/outlet locations, and reference numbers. If you need help confirming compatibility, contact King Radiator for assistance selecting the correct replacement.
Common signs of a failing charge air cooler include reduced engine power, boost leaks, black smoke, increased exhaust temperatures, poor fuel efficiency, and visible cracks or leaks. Damaged cores, leaking tanks, or restricted airflow can prevent the cooling system from working properly.
Replacing a damaged CAC342 air charge cooler helps restore proper intake air temperature control and supports reliable International truck performance.
