In my case the ford oil cooler was much better built than the cheap...

    I too am going through the same problem myself, I am going the MKM Customs upgraded cooler route. In CT. We have smog testing and I don't want the headache of having to put back in if I get pinched. The upgraded cooler looks much better than stock and I also run an elc with a coolant bypass...

    Question Smoke when I first start up?

    How is this Dave? Hopefully I am showing signature? I was looking at replacing EGR cooler and Oil cooler with the MKM customs Kit? It is approx. $200.00 cheaper than Bulletproof what's your thoughts?

    Question about F-350

    Sreaminredfire, I had a 2004 f350 with the 5.4 and I did find it underpowered for towing my 10,000lb trailer. That being said if you are only going to use it for a DD you should be fine. For myself I got a 05 with the 6.0 and it does a much better job of towing. Just my opinion.
