6.0 radiator

I wonder if the inlet and outlets are the same for the 6.0's as the 7.3's. Plus the overflow coolant tank is different.

I think the changes in the radiators would not make it a good swap. Too many differences.

If you truly want an OTW cooler partsguy ed sells new OEM radiators for less that $250 link to radiator. You might want to give him a call, I believe if you order a radiator for 02/03 7.3L SD you should get one with the OTW cooler.

I just installed a 6.0L OTA cooler but if it dosen't get the job done at low speeds I may add an OTW as well.

I hear ya man, there are so many things I would love to do this truck but to be honest I couldn't be happier with it just the way it is.

Whenever I need a reality check I jump in my old 76 Chevy with no AC, crank up windows and a heater that doesn't quite shut off, bench seat and a granny 4 speed....makes me want to get back in my superduty real quick.

My 02 Excursion has the OTW cooler and the OTA for two stages of cooling. I was told this was a dealer upgrade.

My early '99 has the OTW cooler.
