Front Mount Intercooler

Does anybody have any experience installing or mounting front mounts on their 7.3 PowerStrokes? I have been toying around with the idea of throwing one on my truck and I was just wondering if anyone on here has done it or has a pictures? Also is there any power gains with these? I know there is with cars but how about a deisel?

7.3 powerstrokes already have intercoolers mounted in the front of the truck. follow the ductwork from the turbo and you will see it. The stock intercooler can be upgraded. the 6.0 can be used, and also spearco makes one. spearco is by far the better of the two.

it is specifically for 1999.5 - 2003 powerstrokes

I thought the pre-SD Powerstrokes had the intercooler mounted in the front bumper, which is why the bumpers had 2 large slots in it?

Nope until the 99 model year they were not IC.
You might mean a powersteering cooler mounted down there. The intercooler is as big as the radiator, and even thats not enough
