Hello all I'm brand new to this and need help! so I bought a few years ago what we call in the N.E. a yard truck basically an old snowplow truck just to do your driveway. The truck is a 1996 ford f-250 Xlt 5.8L 8cyl. I have been trying to get someone to fix it as it has always been leaking oil from behind the oil cooler. I am currently looking for a replacement oil cooler but haven't had any luck I bought a whole kit with the radiator etc.... but the oil cooler does not look the same the 1 I have is square on the side with the 2 connections on it. I have had some people tell me just bypass and delete it, but I would rather, if possible, find the correct oil cooler and or the correct gasket that goes behind it as I'm sure it's just the gasket is junk. I don't know anything about mechanics, but I am trying to learn but had no luck and I'm also trying to figure out how to use this site at the same time....HELP PLEASE!!! The biggest problem is finding parts for this truck Now I can find what looks like the same oil cooler but it starts at 1997 and goes up would this 1 work for my truck or does anyone out there have any thought or know where i can buy the correct oil cooler? please any help at all would be great as I have been staring at this truck in my driveway for 2 years now and everytime it snows im irritated that i cant get this done. Thanks for taking time to read and hopefully reply this is what my oil cooler looks like only silver in color
Might want to replace the cooler as well while you're fiddling with it. If it develops an internal leak, oil and coolant can mix together and make you sad.
hello and thanks for replying. this is why I asked because I want to replace the engine oil cooler. I cannot find the one for the 96 f-250. I've talked to some people who repair old trucks and cars well restore them and was told the 97 should work the same way but the more people who basically chime in the better informed I am I've already ordered 2 off of Ebay as I cannot find a parts store or junk yard around here that has anything close so just hoping that the 97 ones will work but any info you all have would be really great

I think the 1997 one should work, but I always worry about that when the auto parts sites don't list it that way, like "what do they know about this that I don't?"
