With a 3 day weekend ahead of me and with the weather too hot for my other 06 SD body work, I decided to replace the cooler seals with Cat brand o rings. Since I work at a Cat shop, maybe cheaper? At $4 an o ring and the price of the full kit from Felpro a $8 with the block gaskets it was a no-brainer. I was shocked at how cheap it was. Autovalue shows in the Felpro kit 2 gaskets and 6 o rings. 6 o rings? There's only 4 on the cooler. Kit was ordered last night Red and will be in at 8 am today. Time to go to work!

Both Felpro ES72519 Cooler seal kit and the Ford 6K649 seals come in a package of 4 even though you only need two on the very end. Smaller diameter o ring goes on the outside and the larger 6C610 seal is installed on the inside of the cooler. Kind of a waste of materials if u ask me.

The Felpro ES72519 seal kit is available from any major auto parts store. Ford doesn't make a seal kit for the older OBS 7.3l engines anymore. Only tier 3 engines and up have a kit (from what the ford parts guy told me) That's why I mentioned that you have to buy 4 seals instead of 2. They come in a bag of 4. None negotiationable.
