looking for a 7.3 idi oil cooler

[7point3]

hey im new to all this diesel stuff but i finally got my first oil burner.
i just got a 1989 7.3 idi and it needs an oil cooler. anyone got on or know where i can get one?

When you say you need one, do you say that because yours is missing, or because it has a leak? Most leaks are just from bad O-rings, and these coolers are easily repaired. Welcome to the site.

well this is my bud (7point3) and were goin into this thing together and its goin to end up bein a pullin truck were gettin er for $150 so thats only $75 bucks each we went and looked at it yesterday and its pretty banged up but no rust at all and he said he took out the oil cooler because there was antifreeze in the oil so he took it out and sure enough its cracked so its not the o rings so it needs a new one

oh i forgot welcome the site veitch and you will be addicted to the sweet smell of #2 you will be wanting to put a turbo on that deere of yours and a big chrome stack so you can have the soot flying out of the 4200

60 bux for an oil cooler is pretty dang expensive when you consider that the truck only cost you 75.00
