Anyone have experience with the doorman oil cooler orings? They have them on Amazon for $36.

 

Auto zone iirc had them cheaper....They worked the first time for me where the front header leaked twice with the IH seals.

That being said....There is no need to remove the front header...Unless it is leaking of course..

OK...I was wrong, thought they were cheaper before...

 

I've used the Dorman, Ford and IH. Some haven't had luck with Dorman....mine is trouble free.

 

I used a set about a month ago to seal up mine, no leaks.

 

I used the doorman oil cooler gasket/seals a couple months ago, Did not remove front header, And they worked great, No leaks yet.

 

Just wondering if the Dorman's Engine Oil Cooler gaskets were still NOT leaking for you guys that have used them??
Just checking to see if the Dorman gaskets were holding up to the test of time??

 

Dorman oil cooler gaskets on a 6.0 will come apart and plug the oil system up. Not to say they are anywhere near the same on a 7.3L, but I would stay away.

 

I've had enough trouble with Dorman products that I will not use their stuff unless there is no other option (and that hasn't happened yet). Additionally their stuff is ALL Chi Nee and I have serviced one of their distribution centers where over 90% of their workers are immigrants from third world countries. All that being said their garbage is overpriced for what it is.

 

Touch wood...Mine is leak free.


I compared the OEM International to the Dorman side by side. No difference at all.


Except price. Damn near EVERYTHING is made in China these days.

 

Mine were trouble free until last January. Got a Ford set from Diesel O-Rings.

 

Got mine from Riffraff. Have yet to install them as the motor is still out of the truck. Time will tell.
