It's getting warmer outside and as soon as you know it, the summer heat will hit everywhere. Sure, lots of folks will be staying inside in the air conditioning, but for truck drivers, the work never truly stops. Things still need to be delivered from one end of the country to another, and these workers don't get to stay at home in their comfortable air conditioning.


Neither do their trucks or their truck's engines. Life for a truck's engine is hard work and it rarely gets a break. The atmosphere within the engine itself needs to be at the perfect temperature always throughout an entire engine's journey. If you can't trust your vehicle to keep the engine cool, then you're risking an overheated engine. And if the metal heats up enough in the engine and the piston welds itself into the cylinder, then it's done for good.


Dura-lite Charge Air Coolers


A great way to keep your engine from overflowing is to make sure all of its cooling components are working in tip-top shape, and are components you can rely on. Charge air coolers keep the air in your engine at a decreased temperature after the air flows through the engine turbocharger, and Dura-lite has some of the industry's best.


Not all charge air coolers are made equal, and many have issues over time with leakage. If your charge air cooler is leaking air of any sort as it cools your engine, then you'll waste considerably more fuel over time. However, Dura-Lite's Leak Free Charge Air Cooler can save you thousands of dollars in fuel per year. Here's how:


New Seal System Technology

The Dura-Lite advantage comes from their patented Silicone Grommet Rube-to-Header Seal System. Upfront, that's a mouthful, but we'll break it down for you.


Traditional charge air coolers are made with a welded tube to header joints, but Dura-Lite's air coolers feature silicone grommets which allow for free thermal expansion in the air while maintaining the leak-free seal – something you don't get with the welded joints. The thermal expansion eliminates any stress on the joints that lead to premature cooler failure, and thus protects against air leaks.


7 Year Warranty

Talking technology is one thing, but backing up your product with a solid warranty really puts your money where your mouth is. Dura-Lite believes that their charge air coolers are more durable than any other cooler on the market and they believe it so much so that they'll back any failures for up to 7 years or 1 million miles.


Where Can I Get Them?
