Looks like a good price but I would steer clear of it. The last parts I bought that where Dorman Was Junk wouldn't trust cheap parts for something important like a Oil Cooler.

Russ, thanks for letting us know what your experience has been. I am usually suspicious of Dorman parts having had bad experiences with them in the past, but maybe this oil cooler would be a useable alternative to the over-priced OEM coolers. $200 is bad enough, but over $400 for new OEM unit is hard for me to stomach.

Same here Russ. Even use the replacement Dorman oil coolers in the 6.0L's.

Have a half dozen IDI oil cooler assemblies on the shelf here as well that were salvaged from core engines.
