I'ma tackle this here job tomorrow, thanks for making this video! I feel pretty good about my odds at success now. Hope those dogs stuck around, y'all seem like a good family for them...
I truly appreciate your videos with your DIY an love how ya just fix stuff in your yard or driveway, I've done a starter in mid December an turbo rebuild both in my driveway
I just did this to my international bus with the t444e I just realized I messed up and put the orings back in the grooves they were stuck in like you said. No wonder it was so hard to put together. I’m here doing it again because there was oil in coolant. Thanks for the help friend.
Naturally, I’m watching this AFTER I just poured oil all over myself! Pulled out the drain plug, let it drain overnight, started to unscrew the oil filter and it felt like 4 quarts gushed into my face. An exaggeration I’m sure, but what a mess - ha ha! Maybe next time I watch the video BEFORE I start.
I do the same trick with the oil filter but I use a nice sized punch. Make a nice size hole and it drains the filter quick. I've also used a Phillips head screwdriver in a pinch. I always drain my filter before I take it off! So much easier!
nice video my friend from Guatemala 🇬🇹 and her NJ this is my problem I, have 7.3 to thermo cooler liking oil tang’s my friend I, send my like 👍🏼 bless you and America 🇺🇸
Just spin the block heater metal retainer and it will thread off. I just pulled the cooler off my 2000 F250 4X4. What a pain to get to. Did you pull your power steering pump to get at the front end of the cooler bolts? 45 minutes. My shop in town quoted 4-5 hours. I'm doing mine rolling in the gravel. I have a nice shop and didn't want oil and coolant all over the floor. Mine was contaminating my coolant with oil. The o-rings were still soft, but flat. My end cap to block gaskets looked fine. It was definitely a PIA job.
If you don't want black oil right after you change it then pour a qt. of clean oil through with the drain plug out. Do this every oil change till its clean looking.
I'm doing mine now. I have taken off the cooler, disassembled and cleaned the two housings and the cooler tube, and am getting ready to install the new seals and reinstall on the truck. I noticed while I was cleaning the cooler that coolant is slowly dripping out of my open oil pan. Is this normal while doing this? how else could coolant get into the oil pan?
Those front bolts killed me putting them in I couldn't get the gasket to stay in place. So ended up using rtv to hold it in place till I could get the bolts in. Now I'm redoing it cause apparently that's not a good method. Found this time taking the fender well out gives better access.
Nice video sir. I also have oil in my ford everest 2008 coolant system. I had replaced my oil cooler, after 1 month oil is back in my rad. It was the o ring seal inside oil cooler that is broken again, so i change it. after 1 month oil was back again in my rad. it has been the third time i change it and It makes me wondering, what make the o ring keep broken? Please advise. Thank you.
With all the high performance parts out there isn't there a stock oil cooler delete with the two ends that bolt on the block that have AN fittings to run to a better fan cooled oil cooler??
It's my understanding that you dont have to take the front housing off. That's what I seen in another video. He just undid the back oil filter housing and popped it out just pulling on it a little.
The 4 o-rings are required. Each side has 2. . 1 on each side towards the inner most part of the cooler to seal off lip of the caps. 1 on each side towards the outter most part of the cooler to keep oil and coolant from just pushing their way out of the cooler, into the caps and out. That is, until they start going bad.
I have a Great Pyrenees, she is the sweetest, most gentle and loving dog. Unless it’s time to EAT! She don’t play when it comes to sharing her food! She has killed 2 possums already.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m a new Powerstroke owner and have oil in my coolant, and the Powerstroke forums said this is probably my problem.

Did the o rings fix the issue or did u discover that the cooler itself had failed
The Molykote 55 says it swells o-rings for better sealing. Molykote 111 does not list that as a feature.
If you don't want black oil right after you change it then pour a qt. of clean oil through with the drain plug out. Do this every oil change till its clean looking.
People are sorry pieces of crap! Your a hero by helping them and have a great attitude about it.
I wish my99 looked that clean under there. Some day I will upgrade lol. I'm just now changing my cooler job sucks good video brother
Thanks

I did the same thing took the fender well out. I’ve seen another video where the guy even took out the passanger wheel
The o ring that were in the ends, do you need to put o-rings back in the ends?
Also how did you clean the tube? does the ends with the holes come out?

Nice
Did you replace it due to oil in the coolant? Or just leaking exterior?
Thanks Stephen!! I hope you are taking care of those Doggos!!

Did you drain the engines oil before changing the oil cooler
It's my understanding that you dont have to take the front housing off. That's what I seen in another video. He just undid the back oil filter housing and popped it out just pulling on it a little.
@@taekwoncrawfish9418 You just use a pry bar against the manifold. It’s easy.
Good way to crack your front cover
Can I put it in an ultrasonic cleaner?
Hey there.. is it necessary to use the o ring grease or can I use say just oil?
I’m wondering the same
Was a good video. You did this WHY? Did you have coolant leaking on the ground?
Oil leak
45 min, It took me 2 days. LOL
Wow 2 days. How’s it holding up now?
Holly crap did I panic when my cooler started leaking...
Below freezing, it dropped a litre of oil on the ground at startup...
Moly 55 swells o rings.
Hey there...Is there any reason to replace the cooler, ever..? ..Thanks
Ya the tubes corrode over time and oil and coolant can mix. Then you will need to replace the cooler
Why is there extra o rings?
The 4 o-rings are required. Each side has 2. . 1 on each side towards the inner most part of the cooler to seal off lip of the caps. 1 on each side towards the outter most part of the cooler to keep oil and coolant from just pushing their way out of the cooler, into the caps and out. That is, until they start going bad.
@@weslymanley8953 if you notice it came with 6 orings maybe some models require 6
mine has 4, two big ones and two smaller. 01 f550
Could oil cooler failure cause coolant to mix in the oil???
Yes it can
You're better off pressing it back together or squeezing it with a rachet strap. I cracked my oil filter housing and it was $320
: )
It’s $80 bc the o rings are better quality not the black ones
I have a Great Pyrenees, she is the sweetest, most gentle and loving dog. Unless it’s time to EAT! She don’t play when it comes to sharing her food! She has killed 2 possums already.
15:03 o ring looks fucked
People kinda drop dogs off like 7.3s these days . That's sad .
Starts off talking about his dogs…. why do people post something auto repair and then talk about their life?
Keepin it real
If thees do this will it cause truck not to start? I mean like the water mixing innthe oil would cause the oil not let injectors fire right?
