New Parts Counter PPE High-Flow Intake Bridge Manifold Kit 2004.5-’10 GM 6.6L Duramax LLY/LBZ/LMM Designed for strength and efficiency, the PPE High-Flow Intake Bridge Manifold Kit is made from tough cast aluminum that can handle high boost pressure and tough working conditions. The bigger internal passages and better design help allow more air to flow into the engine, leading to better combustion and even performance across the cylinders. Precision-machined mating surfaces ensure proper sealing and fitment, while the durable finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean underhood appearance. APPLICATION INFO:Subscribe Our Weekly Newsletter A PPE lower intake manifold kit is required for the installation of this kit because of the larger bridge manifold outlets. PPE PPEpower.com Fluidyne High Performance 68RFE Bar Plate Transmission Fluid Cooler 2015-’18 Ram 6.7L Cummins Built specifically for Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins and 68RFE transmission, this cooler is designed as a direct bolt-in upgrade that uses the factory mounting locations for easier installation. The aerospace-grade aluminum bar plate construction improves heat dissipation up to 4 times over the stock cooler while still maintaining minimal pressure drop. Fully welded internal splitter plates help prevent contamination between hot and cold fluid passages, enhancing durability and reliability over time. This single-pass cooler, finished in a silver powdercoat and equipped with -8 AN female O-ring fittings, is designed to handle towing, hauling, daily driving, and higher performance applications while helping your transmission run cooler and more efficiently! Fluidyne High Performance Fluidyne.com Mishimoto Titanium Turbo Blanket for 1996-’02 Ram 5.9L Cummins If you’ve ever driven a 5.9L Cummins and felt how quickly heat builds up under the hood, this turbo blanket is designed to help take some of that stress off the system. The turbo is a major heat source, and without insulation, that heat spreads through the engine bay, raising intake temperatures and affecting how efficiently everything runs. This direct-fit Mishimoto blanket helps keep that heat contained where it belongs, which can lead to steadier performance, better turbo response, and a cooler, more manageable engine bay during everyday driving or towing. Built specifically for the stock turbo on the 5.9L Cummins, this blanket uses a multi-layer construction with volcanic lava rock and titanium woven fabric on the outside, plus a high-silica inner layer reinforced with stainless-steel mesh. It’s rated to handle extreme temperatures, with the inner layer withstanding up to 2,300°F and the outer layer protecting against up to 1,760°F. The goal is simple: keep exhaust heat inside the turbo so it spools more efficiently while also protecting surrounding components from excessive heat soak. You may notice a slight smoke during the first few heat cycles, which is normal and will go away as it breaks in. Mishimoto Mishimoto.com Irate Diesel Complete Competition Fuel System 2003-’07 6.0L Power Stroke Is your factory fuel system struggling to maintain stable pressure under heavy load? The Irate Diesel 6.0L Complete Competition Fuel System is built for Power Stroke owners who need serious fuel delivery performance without the pressure drop and inconsistencies that plague stock-style systems. Designed as a complete, regulated return system, this delivers a consistent fuel supply, smoother injector operation, and improved reliability when the truck is pushed hard. Whether you’re building a high-horsepower street truck, a dedicated tow rig, or a competition-focused setup, this system helps eliminate injector starvation issues that can lead to poor drivability, unstable fuel pressure, and costly injector damage on the 6.0L platform. Built around a high-performance Fuelab pump and large-capacity fuel plumbing, the system uses a 1/2-inch supply line, 5/8-inch pickup tube, and a stainless-steel regulated return design to maintain stable fuel pressure across the RPM range. The kit also includes upgraded filtration, wiring harnesses, relay protection, fittings, and mounting hardware for a complete installation that integrates cleanly into the truck. Engineered for high-flow applications and long-term durability, the system is built to withstand the demands of high boost, elevated fuel volume, and continuous towing or performance use.
