As far as not using the 6.0 forum again, that's up to you but I will say this. Many of us here are older guys that have years of experience, and generally we are a pretty polite bunch. We aren't going to recommend doing anything too far off the wall because there are all different levels of people posting here and sometimes it takes a few posts to figure out what their experience level is. I understand where you're coming from I think, read some of your other posts (I liked the turbo install on the 7.3 BTW) and it's cool to read someone's post that think outside the box like you do. However, posting that we don't know which size wrench to use (or what ever that was in one of your early posts) isn't going to get much positive feed back. There are guys here who could eat most people's lunch turning wrenches and engineering stuff, and steal their girl find when there done.
I hope you hang around and post some more but If you want to be combative there's a special forum for that (diesel bombers).

Glad it's working for ya, post back in a couple of months and let us now if it leaking anywhere. I actually though of trying that and we've had some discussion about it, but I would have pulled it from the truck first and by the time you're that far in a new cooler is just a guaranteed repair.

The aftermarket kits for remote oil coolers I've seen have a high dollar "redesigned" oil cooler cover to get the oil in and out of the engine. What are you thinking for supply and return connections?
