KC gen 2 vs gen 3

Anybody updated their KC generation 2 to generation 3? Curious to see what kind of IATs you saw between the two and if generation 3 was worth it.

What's wrong with cruising down the highway at below ambient temps? I dont have a KC personally, but understand the value it provides.

Perhaps I fell victim to the troll?

I have KC and have had it for several years. It's worth it.

These are redesigned for better in-cab & charge cooling, and incorporates the new upgrade orifice tube and low profile A/C fittings. The new core assy has the A/C fittings on the bottom for improved oil return and less restriction for better flow. Both the suction line and liquid line A/C hoses come with the evaporator and condenser fittings already installed, making this kit one of our easiest to install!
