You probably don't need a new one. The cooling core is pretty stout. The cooling core can be cleaned as well as the end caps. Any leaks are almost always due to a bad o-ring. If you buy used you would still have to get a gasket and o-ring kit to redue the used one. Is there a machine shop close by that can boil out the three parts?
FYI to those reading this thread : Try not to confuse the pics posted by AverageX and those posted by quader94. Had me goining for a bit.

The concern I have is the pics quader 94 posted show wear. On the edge of my end caps the edge is wearing away . Do you think it's ok if I just re-use new O rings ? or should I get a recon or new ?

If you guys say "go" with new O rings I'll order a set from DieselOrings and have them overnight them and reinstall the cooler I have. I went out in the garage and looked at the caps . The ( first) O ring sits back on the neck of the cooler so maybe that erosion isn't an issue but I don't want to take a chance. Ford has one for $290. O rings are $58.

By the way the inside of the cooler was clean as a pin. The element port was dirty with scale I have it all cleaned up . The other concern I have is if there is a leak on the inside coil . It looks really clean though .I have a cleaner (AqaSolv) that cleans anything. I could run a cup or 2 of that through the coil but it looks pretty good to me

Guys quader94 is my son .I asked him to use his camera for a close up . The other pics are my blackberry. They are ALL my truck an 01 EX
The concern I have is the pics quader 94 posted show wear. On the edge of my end caps the edge is wearing away . Do you think it's ok if I just re-use new O rings ? or should I get a recon or new ?

I forgot about the original thread. SORRY.I would recondition what you have unless you've got a spare 300 bucks laying around. I have a spare cooler core from a oil cooler R&R. Very good condition (105K). The only reason I replaced it was I got a helluva deal on a reman core. I know you are in a short time frame, but if the one you have does not work out shoot me a PM.

Here's a NEW question .???
Would it be a bad idea to just replace the O rings and not have the core tested ? It looks like new inside but the end caps are my concern as shown in the pics. It's a tough call. I have no problem spending the 300 bucks on a new cooler but if It's not the cooler than I just wasted money . I'm keeping the truck so I guess it's worth it ???

It dosesn't look like you have Receive PMs activated.
You have enough posts to PM. Left click on my username. On drop down left click on Send a private message to PaysonPSD. Should work.
