Hey everyone, Im new to this forum and just had a real quick question. I just bought a 2003 7.3 and I think im truly in love. :naughty: The guy I bought it off of threw in some extras with the truck and one of them was a 6.0 intercooler. I was wondering how much of a difference I would see in the EGT's and if it is worth putting in or if I should just wait and save some money to get an aftermarket one. The truck does have aftermarket exhaust, turbo, air intake, dp tuner chip, so I just wasnt sure if this would help out a whole lot with the Temp. Thanks everyone and look forward to a response.

If your willing to spend the money buy a good aftermarket one I wouldn't waste my time with another stock one
It will help some probably in the neighborhood of 50 degrees. And with your mods I would not spend the money on an aftermarket intercooler. it shouldn't get too hot anyway and even a big spearco will only drop it probably 100 degrees. Welcome to the site man.

Yeah, you can spend money buying different boots & spending an afternoon swapping out one plastic tank intercooler for another plastic tank intercooler. Better off just selling the 6.0L cooler.

Should be able to hold it there for a while... quick rule of thumb is 1500* for 15 seconds... most if the pulling trucks u see get well above that... even a bone stock powerstroke will see 1300* quite often if towing heavy..

Thanks Gare!!
Got my eye on a Red/Blk short bus 6.4. Should know more Monday.
I'll always lurk around the 7.3 pages. Don't hold a candle to most of the folks in here, but I will try to help when I can.
