Ive been searching for some time now to find an affordable oil cooler replacement, the dealership asked about $4000 for a new one installed.. Any ideas...?

 

4k for an oilcooler

you have an 08 and need a new cooler...........please explain

 

I also have an 89 7.3, with a bad oil cooler.

 

That price is nuts!!! Last time I was to a dealer for the oil cooler for a 7.3 it was near $500.00 for the full set up for a 7.3. You sure you did not add an extra zero there by accident?

 

Look up alexander ford, kenedy texas, ask them. Thats what they said... And if its only $500 tell me where, I would like to deal with them instead,

 

thats a crazy price you could replace the engine for that or even put a cummins in it. I do them all the time it seems like every cold snap for under $500 in waco,tx

 

Ive been looking on ebay for used replacement parts for the cooler, but i can only usually find the main cooler pipe; not the ends. Is there any certain parts house I could call and price them, other then my hometown ripoff artists?

 

Here is one listed starting bid $20.00
eBay Motors: 1988-1994 Ford 7.3l idi oil cooler (item 250404275820 end time Apr-14-09 08:50:45 PDT)

 

Found the solution to my problem.
Light Truck Oil Cooler Kits

 

Go to your International truck shop they work on 6.9 and 7.3 engines and are a a lot cheaper compared to the ford dealership. Or get a oil cooler kits as you seem to have found.
