With a Ford OEM cooler, that is extremely rare. As for aftermarket or Dorman I am sure it happens far more often.

Unless they got cheaper you pay for that piece of mind. The international cooler is not a bad design. Infact it is incredibly efficient design that both cools the oil and regulate temps. Causes quick coolat warm up etc. The only pitfall is debris from the coolant and casting of the engine parts. The cooler fails from being fatigued from over heating and other issues veru seldom do the oil coolers just fail with out other issues causing the problem

I had a few of my friends that had there oil cooler replaced with the egr cooler under warranty and a couple yrs later the oil ruptured and did this..

I agree that is not as much of a problem as the oil cooler clogging up but still its a slight problem..

And the coolant side will never clog up and cause problems with the EGR cooler.

These guys saved me over $50 more then Autonation.

I was looking at that page, it shows an upgrade kit for the 03 and early 04 models and has updated standpipes and dummy plugs. My 03 has the straight rails not the wavy. We're there any 03 or early 04 models with wavy rails? I thought they all had the stainless flex line with the straight rail.
