What are CAC tubes in a 6.0 Ford diesel?

CAC tubes in a 6.0L Ford Powerstroke diesel refer to the Charge Air Cooler tubes. These are the pipes that carry the compressed air from the turbocharger to the charge air cooler (intercooler) and then from the intercooler to the engine's intake manifold. They are crucial for delivering cool, dense air to the engine for optimal combustion and performance. These tubes are prone to cracking and leaking in the 6.0L Powerstroke due to the high temperatures and pressures they experience.
