engine air after it has passed through a turbocharger, but
before it enters the engine. The charge-air cooler provides
better horsepower, increased fuel efficiency, and reduces
engine emissions.

Published 11/26/2014, Control # 447-05
The CAC system consists of the ducting to and from the
charge-air cooler and a hydraulically driven fan. The charge-
air cooler system must be air-tight in order to work efficiently.
The ducting consists of metal tubing, hose clamps and
bellows. The recommended installation torque of the spring
loaded T-bolt clamps is 100 lb-in (11.3 Nm). Do not
compress the spring completely, the bellows and/or clamp
may be damaged from thermal expansion of the CAC tube.
