IPR External Oil Cooler Kit for Ford 6.0 Powerstroke

I bought my 05 F250 back in late 2017. When it was time to replace the oil cooler, I decided to give this system a shot, and it has performed better than I could ever have hoped. I was in Alaska at the time, and with the -30 below temps, warm ups were quicker, and the oil / coolant temp deltas never were more than 3 degrees apart. I moved to Nevada, to the other extreme with temps routinely over 100 degrees, and the truck never looked back. I pull a 12000 pound trailer often in these higher temps over summits and long high grades and my oil temps never get above 210 degrees. The customer service has been amazing as well. Vince has always answered my questions very quickly, and I even have had the pleasure to talk to him on the phone. Top notch product and top notch service from a great company. I highly recommend this for any 6.0 powerstroke.

I should have installed this kit 3 yrs ago when I replaced my last oil cooler. I back flushed it every 6 months or so when I saw deltas start to rise, but the last back flush didn't work, so it was time to change it. If you're replacing your oil cooler anyway, which happens often on a 6.0, you might as well do this and get some piece of mind. The main problem with the 6.0 oil cooler is that the coolant picks up crap from the coolant system. It's basically a system filter....not good. This system resolves 2 major problems on the 6.0, keeps the coolant system 100% filtered, and makes changing the oil cooler a breeze. The beauty about this system is that 100% of the coolant that goes thru this cooler is filtered and when your deltas start to rise, you simply clean out the stainless steel filter and you're good as new. I doubt that I'll ever have to change an oil cooler again in this truck, but if I did have to change it, It would be a 45 minute job because its so easy to get to. The system is well engineered with large 3/4" hoses to make sure your oil cooler gets plenty of coolant and oil passing thru it. Make sure that you buy the filter option and also the stainless steel sump screen option for a flawless installation. I considered the other options available from competitors but I chose this because it solves the problems without introducing a potential new set of problems from air cooled options. The other options use smaller hoses which restrict flow IMO. Labor wise, this kit probably adds 1-2hrs tops to a regular oil cooler install, and that's if you've never done one before.

No instructions! Charging Shipping for $1700 order...I almost didn't order this because of the exorbitant shipping cost, now I wish I hadn't. I ordered this in April and have finally found the time to get into the full day installation that I really wasn't looking forward to. Found a useful YouTube video about it. The first thing the guy said is to read the instructions and make sure you have everything you need to install before you start. NO INSTRUCTIONS WERE IN THE $1800 BOX OF PARTS! Completly unbelievable! Now I am looking at everything, the high flow coolant filter is set to bypass from them. I guess I need to check the instructions to see where to set it...oh, WTF! The guy in the video says that if you have an ear to set the hoses one way, but if you have a gen3 ear delete, they go the other way. I guess I better refer to the instructions to see...WTF! Who does this? Total lack of quality control! YouTube also says to make sure you use the 36" hose for one and the 34" hose for the other...I have 1 long hose. I guess I better refer to the instructions again...grr. its not like I can't do it...I have already been there and added head studs, a new cooler, egr delete...etc, so I am very capable of installing, but where the F do I put it? Where do the brackets go? Where should I put the filter? How do you sell something like this with ZERO guidance? I Totally regret going with this!

I highly recommend this kit for your Powerstroke. I also highly recommend you watch In the Shop Youtube videos installing this, it helped me immensely!
I installed this along with the IPR delete kit and the Dual Coolant and Bypass filter kit. Highly recommended and quality parts!.
