Intercooler damage 2025 3500 SRW

[Cloudbuster0307]

Took a large rock to the front end. No lights or loss of power. Finished the trip towing from salt like to phoenix.

Question is leave it, replace with oem or wait for aftermarket?

Also, any issues with steel bumpers and intercooler flow? Wanting more protection as oem intercooler is $800+.

Test for leaks.

If she is airtight, leave it.

Any idea how to test that. I guess have someone brake boost it with some soapy water?

Plug the inlet and outlet, rig a gauge & air chuck.

Pump it to 10psi and watch for leak down.

depending on how high your comprehensive deductible is, you can use insurance to have it fixed.
