6.0 Cooler!
Might be doing some work on my truck soon and want to add a 6.0 cooler while I'm at it. Want to try to get this all done ASAP. Where is the best place to buy a 6.0 cooler. I don't know if I want to wait for shipping from an online store (I'm rushing I know, but I have Wednesday off and want to ge this done 
). Am I going to take a huge bath on the price if I got to Ford and get one or should I order one online and just wait?

Yeah, I'm looking for a 31 row. Heck, if they made a 70 row I'd be getting that. Can't keep that transmission too cool IMO. The best I can find is at Dfuser, but $465 is rough. Free shipping is nice tho!:

The 27 row is the newer, more efficient design of the 2 actually.

EDIT: Also, the 26-row IS the newer version. It went in the 05s & up. The 31-row went in the 03/04 6.0Ls....

I bought a 26 row from partsguyed and it seems like it will do the job. I did have a problem with the hose leaking that was factory installed. Replace the hose or at least put a better hose clamp on it. I think it was like $321 shipped if I remember right.

Its good to know that the 26 MAY be better. I like idea of saving some money. Thanks for all the info guys, keep it coming. How hard is the install? I've heard you have to pull the front bumper off?

I have a 25 row cooler, and it does fine keeping temps down. I tow an 8500# trailer and have yet to see 180 degrees when towing. Got close once this summer when it was 100 degrees out, but I was only going 40 MPH. Empty I run 125-140 pretty much all the time.
I put together a "How To" for installing a 6.0 cooler based on the way I did mine. Everyone on all the forums seems to ask the same question so I put this together.

It's easy I did a write up doing it on an early 99 somewhere on here. If you are a pretty competent mechanic an afternoon should be all you need to put it on.
