I'm contemplating replacing my coolers this fall, truck has 91k on her and my delta's and inching further apart each week it seems. I'll have some down time in a month or so, so I'd like to do it then. I'm not looking to delete at all, just replace. I helped a friend of mine replace his last fall, just before he was shipped off to the Air Force, don't know where he purchased from. Anyway, is it still best to use BPD Egr cooler & factory oil cooler? Thanks for your help.

 

That's what I did. BPD has the EGR Cooler with the tubing inside. Much stronger for a decent price. Tousley has a good price on the factory oil cooler.

 

Thank you Rusty. Did you buy from BPD directly? How much did everything cost you?

 

I purchased my oil cooler though RiffRaff:

Riffraff Diesel: Ford Oil Cooler 03-07
(almost $10 cheaper than Tousley)

It's the OEM oil cooler kit, so your good there...just a better price. Unfortunately he doesn't carry EGR coolers...just the delete kits.

 

I used the stock version of it before, but is the BPD version of the oil cooler any better?

I believe the BPD version is external...or do they offer two versions? I know Tim (nccpartsman) is running an external version on his truck...so he would be a good guy to talk shop about external verses internal (stock) oil coolers. He isn't using the Racor filter anymore...the BPD comes with it's own spin on filter. And that style oil cooler is air cooled...don't have to worry about coolant clogging it. I also know that it doesn't use the Racor filter...I want to say he removed the entire filter/cooler assembly when he went to BPD oil cooler. But it's been a while...like I said, he'd be the guy you'd want to talk to...if you can do it to a 6.0L there's a good chance he's already done it.

 

Thank you buddy. You're always a great help to me and I appreciate it. Gotta spread some more Reps around before I can rep you. Gonna get a shopping list together soon and start filling it...

 

Thank you, I wanted to keep this as simple as possible. So I guess I'll look into a stock unit. I'd rep you, but I gotta spread more around buddy...

 

I think there are at least four options on oil coolers. The factory replacement, an improved cooler that goes int the factory location and has a extra row of coolant passages, the BPD external air cooled set up, and a relocated factory cooler that mounts somewhere near the alternator making oil cooler changes quick n easy.

 

I have a lot more reading to do I guess...Thanks again.

 

i am looking at ipr oil cooler as well as bpd oil cooler based on a recommendation i received this morning
