An air to air intercooler is not rocket science.
Pipe in hot air, ambient temperature slightly cooler, pass the air through it with some help (stock fan, electrics, or just speed), and it cools.
You can raise the surface area, tweak things a bit.. but it is not a big deal.

If you tow heavy an AM IC may give you some benefit. If it's for the street, the stocker works great (until you get a bigger turbo or spray).
I've seen guys go the Banks Technicooler route and have no performance gains at all.
IMO, if you want to save money, don't worry about an IC.

I would spend my money on the egr delete and headstuds long before I would an ic. The stock one is really good. There are lots of people with lots of preformance stuff still running the stock ic. Tex is one that comes to mind.

Lots of guys used to run Spearco's until they started blowing the welded tanks apart. Now they have cast tanks. If you really want an IC, make sure it has a warranty that they will stand behind. Then you should have a component that'll last the life of the truck. An AM IC won't hurt anything.
