Orange intake boots leaking

#1. ok guys my orange intake boots are leaking. these are the ones under the Intake (spider) going down to the heads. I am also going to do the 6.0 intercooler & trans cooler swap @ the same time. my question is other than new boots & intake inserts from riff raff is there anything else i'm going to need in other words other than the intake am I going to have to remove anything else that I'm going to have to remove that I'm going to need gaskets, seals or oring's for while doing this fix.

#2. any advise or links to the 6.0 intercooler & trans cooler swap would be greatly appreciated. it would be great if I could round up all the parts before hand so is not tohave to stop & make a parts run during the swap.

thanks again all comments & suggestions welcome & appreciated.

I would also suggest the clamps with the plenum boots and inserts so you can really clamp down.

Other than what you have listed (with the new clamps) no, you will be good. Here is a link to the 6.0 transmission cooler install.

Still looking for the inter cooler write up, can't seem to locate it. Should be very straight forward though. There is a sticky at the top of the main page for the 1999-2003 7.3 that has a list of tech links. In it you will find a link to a guy named wood-n-things, he used to post here. He has a nice group of technical specs and modifications, that's where I got that link for the tranny cooler. Here is a link to his page.
