Oil Cooler Replacement
Hey Guys. A buddy of mine just picked up a 96 F350 7.3L. It looks like it needs an oil cooler rebuild/ replacement. He asked me if I could do it for him this weekend. It doest look too bad to do but i didnt know if there were any tricks. Just seeing if anyone out there had some info on doing the job?

not too bad to do...drain the coolant first, take the drivers wheel and inner wheel well off for access. put a drain pan under the housing when you unbolt it.. it is messy but nowhere near what most people lead you to believe.. i did mine while the steering spindle was off for ball joints, but that shouldn't make a lot of difference..

I popped the clutch master off the bellhousing and there's enough room to sneak out the cooler.
Get a 99+ cooler. It has the relief valves retained properly by snap rings. My '95 was missing the valve behind the oil filter, and the one that faces into the block was popped out and hanging into the block.
