is the size of the 6.o intercooler the same as the banks intercooler for the 7.3? i know its alot cheaper.

 

Not sure, but it sounds like the new DI intercooler is the shizzzy.

 

a technicooler for a 6.0 is the same dimensions as a stock 6.0 IC. therefore it makes sense for a 6.0 Techniccoler to fit on a 7.3. i know, i want one.

 

i was wondering if the intercooler from banks for the 7.3 is about the same as the stock 6.0 because i can get a 6.0 intercooler pretty cheap compared the the banks replacement if it will cool the air the same

 

the stock 6.0 IC is no where near as efficient as the 7.3 Technicooler. the ultimate- look at this- http://www.blackclouddieselperforman...d0f5a7056ca940

 

ya i seen that one to,bet gees cant we have one mod that would be cheaper

 

The 6.0 and the 7.3 intercoolers are completely different. The 6.0 air tubes are bigger and if I remember right, they are higher on one side and lower on the other. I just changed out the OEM 7.3 for a Banks (including the tubes). Man what a difference. Turbo spools up a lot faster.

I need to clamp down the overboost valve (bleed off) a little, It is opening up way too fast. I know that there is a kit out there, but $160.00 is streaching my wallet a little right now. Gotta save up for that Jody tuner.

 

I read somewhere that the 7.3 banks is smaller than the 6.0 banks but both bigger than the stock 6.0, I went for the stock 6.0, spent 140 on the cooler rather than $1100. I plan on posting my results on egt's later.

 

Ditto on the stock 6.0 I lucked out on e-bay at the last minute for 96.00 plus shipping. For the weights I pull, usually under 10,000lb I should be safe and cool.

 

Check out JTharvey's gallery as he has the stock 6.0 installed and he said it lowered his EGT's about 100* all around if I remember right!

 

If the Banks 6.0 intercooler is bigger and yu can get the connecting tubes and boots, definately use it. The OEM 6.0 cooler that I have is definately bigger. Just make sure that if it is used, that you completely flush it out. I would not use anything stronger than kero and then used compressed air at a low pressure to air dry it. Just make sure to get all the junk out of then and then do the CCV mod to keep further oil out of it.

 

where is the cheapest place to get a banks intercooler for the 7.3, ive seen the banks 6.0 for the 7.3 around 1100 but is it to tight of a fit or should i just get the banks 7.3 replacement?

 

I can get my hands on a Banks tested (pressure) 7.3 now, but I don't know if the owner will warranty it.

Also, I don't know what the shipping cost would be to Montana.

I will give him a buzz and let you know. You can use the original OEM tubes, but they need to be cleaned up. I would suggest using an Aftermarket boot, not the OEM's. The OEM's have a restriction in the middle.

The 6.0 is a tight fit, it is a PITA to install, but it will go in. I understand that you will have to remove the A/C condensor and fan shroud to get it in. Also remember, the 6.0 cools backwards of the 7.3, but that is no problem.

 

I just pm one of the guys who did the 6.0 install, he said you remove the upper radiator supports, 2 bolts, the upper crossmember over the radiator 4 bolts on each side, undo the hoses, loosen the recovery tank and move the ac lines over, then the intercooler slides out, tight fit for any you put in.
