Just wanted to update, trucks back up and running......
Truck started to actually pretty fast without issue, idled rough for a second but smoothed right out.....
Before my temps were EOT 223-227 ECT 190 did the same run tonight and could not for the life of me get the EOT past 200 really beating it down, once I drove it normally the EOT settled around 197-198 and ECT stated a steady 190. I'd say the new oil cooler fixed my issue I also installed the egr delete.
The hardest part of the whole job was trying to get to the damn belt tensioner literally no room in there! Turbo fell right into place didn't have to fight the up pipe which was sweet.
New ipr screen, intake manifold gaskets, oil cooler, new drain for the turbo, and egr delete.
I will replace the clamp on the up pipe since it got a little mired up coming off since It didn't want to budge. It's not leaking but knowing it's condition, My OCD makes me have to replace it.
Cheers!

Thanks, it's really a piece of cake to do, I've done plenty of them before but I plan on keeping this truck longer then I usually do (6 months) so I want every thing perfect.
