I dunno man, those all look pretty small to me. Either add on the Tru-Cool V-10 cooler in front of the radiator, or go with the 6.0L cooler. The 6.0L cooler is bigger than the radiator on some cars I've seen! LOL

EDIT: This should give you an idea of the size of it, if you don't know already. It's leaning against my 6.0L I/C:

That's the *small* 6.0L cooler (26-row). You can also get a 31-row, but either will do the job. My empty running temps this summer dropped from 190 to 140 or less.

For the time and aggravation, I'd do the 6.0 tranny cooler. Be it the 26 row or the 31 row, it's a bolt on mod that only requires you mod you trans cooler line size and then that's it. It's cheaper, faster, and better....

I did it and as Izzy351 said, it makes all the difference....

+1.

The only problem is, back when I got one for my Excursion, they could be had on ebay for $120 bucks, all day long. Now they're harder to find and they're selling for over $200 bucks.

Had I known I was gonna own another 7.3L back when I got one for the Ex, Ida purchased a second cooler because I refuse to pay the present, going price on one now.

Man I am glad I just found one locally for $75. Does anyone have an exact list of the other parts you need to make the 6.0 cooler work?

Here's what I used:

3/8ths "Street Elbow", 3/8ths barb adapter, 1/2" barb adapter, and 3/8ths-1/2" threaded adapter... There are a couple combos you can rig up to make work. This is what I found at my Lowes.
