intercooler constant tension clamps

[tbo1450]

If anyone would like to update their intercooler clamps to the spring style. I have all the mopar part numbers. I don't think they change the springs to this style until 2002. 

6 Small clamps 52028980aa

2 large clamps 52028979aa

1 intercooler pipe 52027990aa

1 intercooler pipe 52027516ab

2 intake pipes 52027815ab

Good to know, thanks. Did Mopar beef up the boots (more plys) for higher boost? When I replaced my boots and clamps I went with Vulcan VPMax boots and clamps, which is rated for 100psi and are a 5 ply silicone design, for right around $200. They were definitely thicker and stiffer than stock.

Curious as to what you are wanting for the lot.

The boots are the same. I have a 1999 and wanted the spring clamps. I cross reference the part number with an high output 2002. The boot p\n stayed the same   the clamps got upgraded to spring style. I had a boot slip off the hot side so just ordered the whole deal. The price was right, free. Haha. One of the perks working at a dodge dealer

Alot of factory parts are no longer made or are vintage parts now. I got a bell housing (apps)  It took 3 month to get here. Luckily nothing was wrong with the old one . I had one hiccup with the original apps sensor.

i have an early HO 02 and it did not come with the spring clamps.

Moparman's 02 is the "late" 02 with a solid differential (no CAD) so his would be a good one to test the theory on.

Then again could it have been only late model 02 HO trucks??

Mine has the CAD. Bought it in October 01

Now I'm curious.

I'll have to check mine.  It may have spring clamps, and it doesn't have a cad.

i guess they had to use up all the 01 parts on something. Kind of like the 08 12 valves.

If you don't know you haven't torn it apart enough!  

I don't think it matters which one you use. I have both on my truck and neither have blown off @70psi.

I was messing around on YouTube. Found an old master tech video. Updated cummins master tech. They showed the spring clamps. That how I got the idea to replace them. I Search the parts catalog till I found them.
