Saving money for BPD oil cooler
#31
Could be, all I know is I bought my truck with 75k on it, and the oil cooler was just replaced, I was experiencing 37 degree deltas within 10-15k miles, and I decided to go with the BPD system. Not every truck may have problems with temp spreads, but I agreed with the notion that the oil cooler was a flawed design, asking way too much from the cooling system and putting in the BPD would put less demand on the cooling system.

Or do what I do and turn the A/C to max, which seems to increase the fan speed at idle and cools the truck very fast, not to mention the passenger.

You mention they alter the fan through tuning. There is nothing on their website that details any of this having to be done. There could be an issue with a hot day stuck in traffic BUT....on any given HOT day the ambient temp is 100*F. in bumper to bumper traffic, THEIR IS NO LOAD on the engine....temps drop drastically and oil temps normally circulating in 190*+++ heat exchanger temps are now subject to AMBIENT 100* temps....I do not understand your point if you had one.
I understand it is an air to oil cooler. The FAN moves air even at idle so if the ambient temps are lets say 100*F it is still much cooler than a heat soaked oil/water heat exchanger exposed to 200*F temps.....I don't understand your statement.

I never thought it was possible to interface with the fan assy through a switch. Maybe I don't come around as often as I need to!
Any write ups on it?
Thanks

You know I was wondering if the evacuation of the system was even necessary. It appears that once all the front is removed there is a lot of room to avoid doing so.

Pics or it didn't happen. Lol, I tried to see how you could have done it and I just evacuated it and paid ford dealer to recharge it. Do you know of the several flavors that they offer now which you have?

I don't have any pic's left as I lost them with my last computer. All I did was unbolt and roll the condensor towards the passenger side with a bungee holding it to the hood.
