Hello all.
Our 95 van w the 7.3 decided to play Exxon Valdez with its oil cooler. Ordered the o-rings and gaskets and got the thing out and cleaned up and new bits installed. I couldn't get either cap back on by hand, but with the aid of hydraulics, one end went on easy. The second side was super unhappy, just wouldn't slide on. Yes, it was lubed. Eventually friction won and the damn thing cracked open instead of sliding together. Wonderful.
So now I need a new rear oil cooler / filter head piece. Like this:
![]()
Does anyone know if the truck part is the same as the van? I'd read a reference to the van having 3 gaskets instead of two, but the part that came off seems identical to the one I've pasted the image of, which is for a truck. The part number on the one I removed is 1818376C2.
Also, of course, if anyone has one they'd like to part with, I'd be eager to not pay the retail on a new piece.
Thanks.
Luke
