Bigger cooler

Intercooler
I have picked up a 6.0 intercooler to put in my 02 7.3. What all do I need to do to make the swap. Would like to have everything ready before I put my truck down.Thanks so much!! Don

You will need new boots to make the swap as the two coolers are different sizes. One of the Sponsers has them in a kit.

DIESELSITE.COM 6.0L Intercooler Swap Boot Kit for 7.3L
in my opinion i would look at swapping the tranny cooler for a v10 cooler since you will be right there. the 6.o tranny cooler is nice but cost more then your IC!!! the v10 does handle 90% of any cooling need...have a look at that when you look at the boots ..his proice is about the best i have seen on them. also since you would be messing with the tranny lines it may give you the opportunity to move them to fit the ic better.

just my two cents


there are a few write ups I will see if i can find them.
basically the only thing that may be a problem are the transmission lines going to the radiator. not sure if they hit or not ....I have heard of people having to lower the IC
one guy looked like he tack welded a piece of angle iron on.

others say they drop right in.

Yep, you'll need to replace the trans cooler, or at minimum relocate it. The 6.0L intercooler will hit the lines on the top of the stock trans cooler.
