New oil cooler - how much time to do?

Hey guys,
I just bought an oil cooler kit and I'm going to put it in this weekend. I have the EGR deleted so how much time should it take me to do this? I need the truck on Monday so I need to do it quick. I have been wrenching a lot of years but this is my first diesel.
Thanks.

you're in the 6.7 forum, so what truck are you doing an oil cooler on?

This is your second thread in the 6.7 section. If you have a 6.7 you need to update your sig.

If its a 6.0 you looking at a good 7-15hrs depending on how fast you work. I had a guy that has done over a hundred oil/egr cooler replacments and it took him about 7hrs to do mine and he worked with only 1 short break to eat. We did do both the egr and oil cooler though so maybe you could knock off abit of time. I would leave myself the entire weekend to do it incase you have a problem just to be safe. Did you already flush your coolant system? If not you will want to do that first and that will take a good 5-8hrs.

Thanks SharkDriver. I'm new to the forum and didn't realize I had posted in the 6.7 forum. Sorry.
