This installation does involve cutting into the factory grill shutter assembly. The shutters will not be able to be re-installed with the COBB Front Mount Intercooler, or after the trimming is done. If you want to re-install them you'll need a new shutter assembly 2018/19 F150 |
Remove the four 10mm bolts on the top of the grille using your socket.
These bolts, like many others go straight into metal (some into plastic). Make sure to avoid torquing these bolts too hard either when loosening or tightening these bolts as it's very easy to strip them out on accident. |
Remove the front grille assembly and set it somewhere safe!
Remove the 4 13mm bolts holding at the front and 2 15mm bolts in the rear of the skid plate in place, watch out for the brace in the rear and note the orientation it was in when removed as it will only fit in that way when you go to reinstall.

The clips with built in nuts found on the frame can fall off easily, so make sure not to lose them! |
Reach up and undo the wiring to the fans by gently squeezing the clip before disconnecting them. Then disconnect harness from fan using your trim tool.

Loosely Install intercooler bracket using stock hardware with bumper support brackets. Make sure the tab end is pointing up. If you're running an aftermarket or frame-cut bumper you may not need these.
The bumper support brackets are not needed on F150 installations. |
Reinstall onto the turbo inlet tube
Make sure not to kink the hose as it may cause issues. Sometimes you can remove the kink by slightly changing the routing of the hose, or in some cases you may need to remove a small amount of material from the straight end. |
