Here is a switch, A Ford 7.3. I thought i was watching Good old Marty T. The old oil cooler Was starting to leak. With mess on the ground 1D10 was starting to freak. Wiggle it out On the drivers side. A little more work And we'll go for a ride. O rings and press it, And bolt it all up. Soon we'll be riding around in that truck. Add the fluids And here we go. That's all folks- The end of the show! Thanks for the fun! :-)
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.
You don't use anything Dorman on a 7.3 there junk. Ford Motorcraft O-Rings and sensors only folks unless you wanna do the job 3-4 times sooner using Dorman parts.
On easier things to do such as the oil cooler o-rings I'll take the Dorman chance. I've actually had really good luck with their products in the past. Internals and complicated parts I always do OEM or a known improved after market. But I totally understand the fear of the "Dorman chance".
Well here I am needing to do the job and wondering if it's worth the extra 70 bucks for simple rubber orings and a gasket? Normally go with motorcraft parts but not sure on this one.
On most of my Ford videos I highly recommend Ford OEM parts, especially for hard to get to parts. Exceptions are when Ford gets it wrong and an after market company makes a better replacement, or something simple enough to change and pretty basic, like an o-ring set.
@@cook4015 there are several who make parts as good if not better than Ford and several of those companies get o-rings from the same manufacturer that Ford uses
@@MVIrishhooker Agreed. The issue is people will buy the cheapest part they can find, it fails and all of a sudden in their minds OEM is always better.
Why do people replace the oil cooler itself if it’s just a piece of aluminum with some metal channels inside? It would seem like it could be cleaned out pretty easily
I did this job 3 times at work. Huge tip, DO NOT use aftermarket parts. Finally fixed it after buying the Motorcraft seal kit. Great vid!
Great comment - use OEM parts. I learned this lesson the hard way! Now I spend the extra money on OEM components, and haven’t had any problems.
1:15 only remove the first 3 bolts, pry cooler tube out of other end, clean around both ends first.
Good video. Straight and to the point 👍🏼

I thought i was watching
Good old Marty T.
The old oil cooler
Was starting to leak.
With mess on the ground
1D10 was starting to freak.
Wiggle it out
On the drivers side.
A little more work
And we'll go for a ride.
O rings and press it,
And bolt it all up.
Soon we'll be riding
around in that truck.
Add the fluids
And here we go.
That's all folks-
The end of the show!
Thanks for the fun! :-)
I must admit, I got a good chuckle out of this one! Awesome!
Tip: back the heater strip out until it produces a small stream of antifreeze into a catch basin.
What do you recommend to clean out the oil cooler?

Please use motorcraft parts,maybe a little more money but worth it.

@@1D10CRACY There isn't a better option then Ford Motorcraft parts anything from o-rings to sensors stay OEM folks.

Great job!

They can sometimes be pitted and the orings will not seal probably.
Should mention you need to align the oil cooler
How do you align it?
Does not specify any torque
Incorrect, Ford does specify torque specs and it varies by year. You will need to look it up for your truck.
