You can try Gullo/Ford Mercury of Conroe. That is on I-45 it is like exit 80 I think you can't miss it.
Then there is Tommy Vaughn Ford as you get closer to Houston that is I-45 south they have a couple of nice dually's out front.
I have a ranch hand on the back of mine. I had a guy rearend me at 65 mph when I was at a dead stop. The bumper stopped him in his tracks and didn't even put a scratch in the tail gate.
I have 2 led back up lights in the the bumper also.
I am in the same boat you are in. I have been wanting a new I/C for along time but I am just going to upgrade the Tranny cooler for now and when I start adding more HP then I will change the I/C out.
Yes there has been. When you start putting the HP to the ground and building big boost numbers the 6.0 I/C will not hold up the way the 7.3 will.
I can't recall the boost numbers off the top of my head but have talked to 2 guys that have 7.3 with 6.0 I/C and they both popped the sides.
You might want to look into some aftermarket boots also. If you still have the factory ones they will become oil filled and just never work right after that.
