Oil Cooler Upgrade

Has anyone here done this? Good? Bad? Part of me thinks hey this is pretty cool if it works and filters properly. The other side of me is going why doesn't Ford do this when a failure happens. It seems so simplistic and one would think fix that gremlin permanently.

Ford_Power_Stroke_Oil_Cooler

Things I see -

1-Coolant temperature in theory should be more stable.
2-Coolant blockage eliminated since it's a series..oil cooler then EGR cooler.
3-Oil cooled by it's own exchanger that is NOT sitting behind the AC, Intercooler, and radiator. Again this should also affect #1.

Or is there a major draw back I am missing.

I'll take a guess. $2,000 vs. $250.

Yea...I'd turn a wrench replacing the OEM stuff and spend the money I saved on other power toys.

Cost is pretty high, I just don't think the cost is worth it. With a relocation kit you also have a bunch of lines running everywhere that could cause problems.
