intercooler choices
there are a few intercoolers on my local craigslist, but some dont have pics. what years and models had plastic sides? does it really matter if it is for a 6.0 or 7.3?

Go for the 6.ohhh if you can. They have plastic caps and has better performance. Although I really wonder how much difference when it's all said and done.
I always heard the alum ones could hold more boost, but I've never seen plastic ends pop off either.

I don't think that is completely correct, we have a 01 excursion and I am pretty sure that has aluminum tanks on it. I bought one off ebay last year and I think that might have been from a 2000.

I guess they were random? i know i've seen a 2000 with an aluminum before. Heck who knows. if you find one just ask if it's aluminum or not i guess.

I replaced the excursion ones and got the from Clay at Riffraff diesel, he is a site sponsor. His are made of material that the oil won't break down over time. Tight fitting also. I think Bob at diesel site carries boots also.

I got my boots from Bob @ Dieselsite. they are pretty bada$$ boots. nice and thick, sticky(unlike normal silicone boots), and they fit pretty tight. i have a hard time pulling them off my pipes after i pull the clamps off. almost have to pry them off.
