i found mine on cl for $150 lots of 6.0 guys do the banks kit

 

Here is a pic of both:

 

Do you need different boots when swapping to a 6.0 IC?

 

Yes. One 3" to 3". My 7.3 cooler had 3.25" inlet/outlet, the 6.0L cooler had a 3" inlet.

 

Other than the boots, it this pretty much a drop in?

Yes. You'll have to move the AC condenser a little to get the outlet around the lines, but it'll go. Check with Clay for the boot you need.

EDIT: If you have an Auto Trans, you'll need a different cooler though. The lines off the stocker go right where the extra length of the IC stick down.

 

Thanks, I have a auto trans cooler off a 6.0 liter to install, so I'll have to look things over.

You're good to go then. The 6.0L cooler lines exit the bottom of the cooler, stocker exit the top. If you click the pic I posted, it'll take you to a bunch of pics I took of my install.

 

Thanks, Joe. I'm starting to see a couple of 6.0 IC's pop up on CL around here and was wondering if this will be a good fit for my rig. I do tow a moderate sized 5'ver and at the altitudes that I tow in, I want every advantage I can get.

 

What part of I am running one did you miss?









When I installed mine I was running stage 2 injectors and a Van turbo... Saw less then a 50* drop when pulling and nothing empty.

There are some pic's for you, the 7.3 is wider for the core, but the 6.0 is taller and thicker. It flows about 20% more at best.

There are very nice all metal IC's out there for less then $700 that give you a real loss in EGT's.

And BTW...Mine is a work truck, pulls more weight then most every day, day in and day out.

 

I am still researching this topic and have found prices on the aftermarket coolers vary widely. Are they comparable or does price make a difference? I have a hard time separating advertisers hype from reality.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve

 

Free a buddy put a banks kit on his 6.0, he gave me the 6.0 IC. All I had to do was buy the boots.

 

If you need a big drop, then spend the $$$, like Joe said. If not, a good deal on the 6.0L is okay. My van turbo made the biggest difference in my EGTs. I was able to get over 1500 with stock sticks. After the turbo & IC, I could barely get to 1300. Now I can really spike them again with the hybrids.

 

PM DeputyDog on here... He has a diesel site and sells a all metal IC for, IIRC, 600-800...
