    What makes these engines so gutless?

    My 7.3 was fast with or without a trailer :dunno No turbo, completely stock... Even with 10,000 lbs behind it it wasn't bad, if your point of reference is a Duramax then yeah it's a dog but compared to anything of that era they're pretty decent really. No one says that 5.9's were under powered...

    Oil Cooler Reseal. Oil change Coolant flush

    Yup, what he says. Plus if I remember correctly the ends don't just push right back on easily... I wouldn't want to try and shove it together in the engine bay.

    Finding more gears

    IDI's came in medium duty Internationals with manual transmissions for a number of years. We have one in our service truck. As someone else said just find one of those and pull what you need.
