What updated cooler??? Don't know of such a thing...

I would use OEM gaskets, do the oil cooler for sure, and the HPOP screen. I wouldn't change the HPOP unless you're having issues, or you have a ridiculous amount of miles on the stocker. Don't fix it if it aint broke kind of thing. Nothing else really comes to mind for an 04, but I'll think about it some more.

The Diesel shop that I'm taking my truck to asked if i have the new oil cooler in my truck so it may not be a brand new one per se.....but it may be new to my truck since it looks bone stock and it is the first 6.0. Mdub...didn't they revise the oil cooler with the screen after 2003-04 time? Maybe I miss read it somewhere.

Yeah true that! But maybe the the mechanic told me he would rebuild the oil cooler and put the new oil cooler screen in that was updated back in 2007 from cloth to stainless steel. I may have miss understood that. Sorry for the miss info

Yeah that is the screen I was talking about. I just knew it as the oil cooler screen.

Ah, they did update that, it's about $20 for it. Went from a fiber screen to a stainless steel screen. It just prevents crud from hitting the HPOP.

When's the truck scheduled to get fixed up?
