Intercooler question

I heard there are 2 different 6.0 inter coolers. Is that the oil or air? Also the main question how do u tell the difference between the 7.3 intercooler and the 6.0? I heard that the 6.0 has plastic outside runners/tank and the 7.3 has aluminum?

I know the 7.3 intercooler has the plastic ends. I've never seen a 6.0 intercooler but I believe its a little bigger. Not sure if its plastic or aluminum.

Some of the 7.3 IC's have plastic ends, some are all aluminum. To the best of my knowledge all the 6.0 IC's aren't the same, they all have plastic ends, but I think some have one 3'' and one 3 1/2'' hose ends and the other has both 3''

Yes the 6.0 IC is a little bigger than the 7.3
