Charge Air Cooler (CAC) Connectors and other replacement parts

Charge Air Cooler (CAC) connectors are used to join the hoses and pipes in the CAC system in trucks and semis fitted with turbocharged and supercharged engines. These connectors are designed to keep secure and efficient airflow of cooled, compressed air coming out of the CAC and into the engine.

CAC connectors, usually made out of silicone, rubber, and other heat-resistant materials, come in a range of shapes and sizes to accommodate for the specific requirements of different engines and CAC system configurations. Finding the right connector type for your vehicle is essential, which is why at Big Rig World, we keep a large selection of CAC connectors made by several industry-leading manufacturers.

Replacing old and damaged CAC connectors

Maintaining CAC connectors is very important to keep the charge air cooler working at an optimal level. Connectors prevent air leaks and maintain consistent boots pressure, improving engine performance and fuel efficiency. 

Routine inspections should be performed to check for any signs of CAC connector deterioration or damage, including any deformations or cracks. Check for loose or damaged clamps and make sure that the connections are all secure. If you notice any damage, replace the CAC connectors as soon as possible with high-quality parts.

The connectors should be tightly attached to the charge air cooler hoses and pipes - any loose connections can cause air leaks and negatively impact the performance of the CAC system, and lead to engine overheating.

Always use high-quality CAC connectors made out of reliable materials that can withstand high temperatures, pressures, and vibrations associated with turbocharged and supercharged engines, in order to avoid malfunctions.
