Are there any other worthy oil coolers beside BPD?

 

For the money I'd put an OEM back in. Coolant maint. and filtration is the key in my mind. Others may disagree but many here are 100,000 miles and better on OEM coolers and Ford Gold coolant. JMHO.

 

I agree with ^^^^^^ Maintenance is the KEY
This diesel truck is not your daddies diesel in that it takes a lot more maintenance. But everything new takes more.

Don't know how familiar you are with how deeply our coolers are integrated into the oil and cooling systems, but there isn't an easy way to adapt up to the oil and coolant ports, so that is why BPD's is so expensive. It isn't the cost of the cooler itself, that's straight forward -- it's designing the part that "plugs in" to where the existing oil cooler goes so it can plumb the oil out and back and bypass the coolant side.

That's the reason the guys are giving you the advice they are. I don't know of anyone else that's tried to make that same style adapter unit BPD has, so really it's BPD or go factory, and if you go factory stay on top of the coolant maintenance and maybe stick a coolant filter in as well (for what it's worth the factory upgraded the cooler with one more row).

 

BPD is a waste of money IMO

 

I don't know how many people have seen this option: Bullet Proof Engine Oil Cooler, Factory Oil Filter

It's about $300 cheaper than the remote filter option. They also have heavy duty cooler options for the factory and remote filter options for about $200 more. AFA being a waste of money? I love mine and the new kits are cheaper and refined for easier installation.

 

I can say is the BPD oil cooler and filter work great. I costs, but no more problems.

 

Another vote OEM Oil Cooler with Extended Life Coolant Cat EC-1

To fix the ROOT Cause it needs Flushed VC-9 Cleaner thermostat Out and Coolant filter

Spend a day flushing

IDK about BPD that mighgt be great for those towing Lots

But the OEM OIL COOLERS Themselves Don't Fail (I shouldn't say don't fail cause a few do Burst into the Coolant system NOT MANY Though) its the junk in the cooling system plugging them this is the Root Cause and what needs addressed

 

That is it, the junk that gets stuck in them that causes most problems.

 

You can replace several OEM coolers yourself before one were to recoup the price of the BPD kit.

The IPR OEM style cooler is interesting with the larger passages, but then the 15 degree spread pretty much goes out the window with that one and would be tough to determine if it were plugging.

Somebody hada IPR High flow that had a Camper or something had one Josh and he got into the 240EOT Range in summer pullen hills

Really close to defuel Temp so IDK


An OEM Cooler with Full Filtration would be great didn't ipr have one these??

 

Its the quick change Model wasn't it OEM Relocate

 

YUP!

 

I vaguely remember that, but wasn't the guy a lead foot trying to pull 70+ with a Fiver?

I have ideas to turn an EGR cooler into a secondary oil cooler, therefore you have an EGR delete and 2 oil coolers.

How you thinking about reroute of the Oil
