I just bought a truck thats currently apart for an oil cooler/egr replacement. Definitely made me realize I'm going to have to double check all the intake ports and that I have all the gaskets. Fingers crossed, I should be able to the job. Great video.
Man let me tell you this is the best video online!! You didn’t skip a single detail I’m subscribing 4sure! My only question is does anything require torque specs when I put it all back together
You can find the torque specs online if you want to torque everything, only thing I’d find specs for would be your intake manifold and the cooler itself as there is a torque sequence. Thanks for watching!
Awsome insight. Just got Kill Devil Diesel heads, kc turbo, ARP Studs, new promaxx oil cooler, upgraded 6.4 banjo bolts, blue spring kit along with all gaskets and o rings. Starting the job Wednesday morning and looking for any pointers. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, I have a 2005 F250 6.0 , 130,000 miles no major issues yet, I tow a 9000 lb camper 4-5 times a year, has cold air intake, coolant filter, straight pipe 4" exhaust, blue spring mod, after that purdy much stock, wish you were close to middle Tn
Sounds like a very nice truck! I am in East TN and would be happy to take care of anything you may need for the truck in the future, if you’d be willing to make the journey!
Great video. I just did my cooler and pretty much followed your video in order to do it. Thanks for doing it. I wanted to correct you on your comment on the IPR coolant filter. The coolant runs front to back in the oil cooler so using the IPR with manifold does not filter the coolant before entering the oil cooler. It would filter after going thur cooler .
This video is so helpful and appreciated. New follower here. For the "upgraded" egr hose, di you use a ford hose that has the dimple or just a piece of radiator hose to replace?
I have a 04 huntsville 6.0, and am about to do a full injector set, probably a new ficm, and i recon with my consistent 210+ oil temp a new oil cooler. I stumbled on this channel on accident. I wish i could have seen your info years ago, and i am learning some cool new tricks as well. Good content sir. I am considering purchasing that so cal billet. I am bout to break 300k miles on my PSD, original motor and trans couple goodies added studs, exhaust, blue spring, emmisions enhanced, beefier torque converter etc... Two questions though #1 who do ya recomend for injectors? I dont wanna go over 155/30s kinda prefer stock. #2 As far as high performance/reliability on a ficm and oil cooler what do ya reccomend?
I use Warren for all my bigger injectors just make sure to buy the premiums. If you just end up going stock size Ford is always a good option as well. I’ve done a few trucks with 155/30s and a KC stage 1 and they love it! As far as FICM I try to stick with Ford or if you want to spend the money, one from bulletproof. Warren used to sell tuned ones but they don’t anymore because of emissions crackdowns. On your oil cooler, I’ve always ran Fords even on our high horsepower trucks. As long as coolant changes are kept up with, they don’t have problems. I personally don’t recommend the air to oil coolers because if you don’t have constant air moving over them it gets hot. Glad you found the channel and hope you enjoy the content! Thank you for watching!
@Atomic_Diesel Thanks for the feedback, I am in Idaho, so we have some lol well no actual emmision laws, I guess your not allowed to have to very much flame coming out of your exhaust but that's about it. However a lot of the simpler higher performing stuff is getting harder to source. Thankya for your time sir. I will be recommending your channel others.
This seems to make the job much less intimidating! Im not looking at having to do the swap yet but I will be saving this video for easy reference. Thanks!

Damn! I just pulled my cooler and the housing is broken. It's an 03 and it doesn't have the hex plug, it's just a raised bung that is threaded and it was broken off.
@@Atomic_DieselI have an early 03 king ranch with the crossover in the back of the manifold what was the reason for that and the reason ford changed the design curious if you knew?
I really appreciate the detailed video! I am replacing my oil cooler and trying to get the same exact oil cooler. When I look up 3c3z-6a642-ca 1x, the parts programs are saying it does not fit my 2005 6.0. Is this an error? If so, can you share where you purchased this oil cooler?
Well I appreciate you watching! And yes that’s an error it will fit all year 6.0 trucks. Go to your local ford dealer and have them source you one, just tell them you want that part number, not the new one.
I hate working on an engine that dirty, a good wash makes it so much easier to deal with. You can see by the air cleaner it's not a well maintained truck
Yes sir. It is part of a 21 truck fleet that does very dirty excavation work. I closed down my business roughly 6 months ago to primarily work on just this fleet. This is the first time I’ve had my hands on this truck. It go all cleaned up and an S&B Intake installed as well once I finished up with the oil cooler. Thank you for watching and commenting!
What is that "donut" gasket/o-ring called? Or better question maybe what's it for? I'm starting to gather parts, gaskets and supplies to do the same. Thanks
The dealer will have to specifically look for that part number at other locations if they don’t have one and then try and buy it from them. Unfortunately dealers are learning of this part change and are holding on to the old ones for themselves and not selling them now.
@Atomic_Diesel I've got a 2007. 115,000 just started dropping a drop every 5 min from this exact area. I'm not much of a mechanic. Just trying to understand the process of what to replace and what oil, coolant to use etc. Thank you
would a busted coolant side of the oil cooler allow water to get into oil? Reason I'm asking is because we had a hard freeze and did not have any antifreeze in motor. 2 freeze plugs busted out and a couple spots on aluminum heater piping to the back of the truck ha to be repaired. all that was done and the next day checked the oil and it was full to the top with a water oil mixture. literally to the top roughly even with oil cooler.
even though the freeze plugs did what they was supposed to do? only reason im asking that is because the level on the dip stick was higher than the block. i appreciate your feed back. @@Atomic_Diesel
What other oilcooler would you recommend I order a new oilcooler and it's came in motorcraft box but it's not up to par not the rite gaskets ether,,,, But grate video man. I seen a lot of them and you realy explain awesome wish you in FL.
Thank you very much! Preferably find your local ford dealer and give them the part number off the box in this video. I’ve had trucks come through with PPE and Mishimoto coolers with the same problems as the dormans.
@@Atomic_Diesel hay brother thanks for your reply,,that's my next move ,you no most all the big aftermarket dealers are advertise these new 3c3z6a810a ford motorcraft coolers, but will not say they are dorman in the box made for ford now ,,and all have jacked the price up as well ,that's just dirty to me but if you research you find the truth they dont wont to tell they are ford but made in China from dorman,,and thanks brother again realy helpful video and new subscriber 👍 I was hoping there mite ben one you had good luck with that could maybe help I had herd the blade runner, maybe it's up there to in price with ford ,,
@@TRoysAdventures I’m not far from albemarle. Need to do the same to my truck hey maybe we could be each others extra set of eyes and get both trucks done 😂 assuming you haven’t done yours yet.
I watch a lot of these 6.0 repair/ maintenance videos and every time I ask myself why in TF I have 2 of these god forsaken things. I mean really. Changing the oil is about the only thing you can do on these things that don't require you tearing half the motor apart.
Lmfao 😂! Between me and my wife we have owned 4. 6.0s and 7.3s are what I primarily learned to wrench on so I have a special place in my heart for them and love working on them.
almost bought that crap chinese "new and improved" oil cooler with the ford logo on it off of my local dealer here in denton. good ole ford still turning tricks So what if you cant get your hands on one with that old part no.?? whatd you do then?
Thanks for making this video! It makes the project look manageable and less intimidating!
Thank you!
This channel is super underrated
You are the man sir! Thank you so much for going step-by-step and talking through your steps. I'd tear down an engine with you any day.

I’m glad to hear it, I hope it is helpful!
I'm staring this repair down and this was super helpful and probably the best video out there. Thanks! Subscribed
Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad it was helpful!
Facts brother this was the best video I found and detail af
Do a bulletproof/headgasket video and egr. You definitely got detailed instructions
Great video very helpful!

Something to keep in mind is that it seems this engine had the EGR cooler deleted. So the removal was a bit less complicated.
What is the main reason that you go with Cat ELC, and is Shell Rotella ELC a equal substitute.

@@Atomic_Diesel thank you for that and creating that video. I’m sure it will make my oil cooler replacement more streamlined.
Damn! I just pulled my cooler and the housing is broken. It's an 03 and it doesn't have the hex plug, it's just a raised bung that is threaded and it was broken off.
Leave the oil tube in to keep debris out. Re: Ipr screen.
What year was this 6.0,very impressive video.alot of knowledge...
looks like a 2003
Early 03 with a late model intake manifold. If tackling this job yourself I recommend swapping to a ODawgs or a late model intake manifold!
@@Atomic_DieselI have an early 03 king ranch with the crossover in the back of the manifold what was the reason for that and the reason ford changed the design curious if you knew?
How long did it take for this repair
What brake cleaner do you use?

Up here in the rust belt, and engine that isn't all oily is an engine that's all rusty.
Part number for the oil standpipe Oring?
How long did the job take you?
Sure appreciate this video lot's of work but I'm going to try it would you replace the oil pump while it's tore down i have 286000 on my truck
If it’s an 03 to 04.5 truck yes absolutely. If 05-07 there’s no need really. Super super rare to see late model pumps actually fail.
Would a clogged oil cooler cause a coolant leak? That would show up in the wheel wells?
mine is an early 04 and it does not seem to have the hex plug with the O-ring?
So where did you get the oil filter stand pipe o ring or you used the same one
You have to pick them up separately from Ford.
What is that "donut" gasket/o-ring called? Or better question maybe what's it for? I'm starting to gather parts, gaskets and supplies to do the same. Thanks
Did you ever get the name of it ?
I can not find this part number anywhere, people only have the updated part number, any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!
The dealer will have to specifically look for that part number at other locations if they don’t have one and then try and buy it from them. Unfortunately dealers are learning of this part change and are holding on to the old ones for themselves and not selling them now.
What brand cooler is it the factory gave me a Dorman
You have to ask the dealer for the part number I give in this video. If they say they don’t have them, ask them to order one from another dealer!
What year is this engine? Just started watching
It is an 04.5. Early 03s will be just a little bit different of a process.
