6.0 Intercooler HELP!

[Drepka]

A friend picked up a 6.0 intercooler today. WHat all does he need to get this thing to bolt up we are having trouble getting the pipes to lineup and the rubber sleeeves to tighten up.. ANY secrets or suggestions????????????????????

We have both sets of pipes but the diameter of the fitting on the 6.0 seem smaller???????????????

you'll have to search, but as far as I know the main thing to upgrade to the 6.0 is a new set of hoses, I think it goes from 3" to 3.5" at the charge air. everything I'd read, wanting to do it to mine, was that you need a set of adapter hoses, around $50 for the pair IIRC

I had saved the info, but it's lost in the computer somewhere. it's more of a mess than the workbench........

Your welcome...

Now, post lots of pictures, so I know what I have to do when I put one in mine!

There's a site, Mr. Bob’s Silicone Hoses - Silicone Hose, Silicone Hoses, Turbo Hoses, Hose Kits he makes silicon hose kits, replaces all the hoses. I talked to him last summer, he was tooling up to offer the 7.3 to 6.0 hoses, seperatly and as part of a full kit. kinda pricey, +/- $650 for the whole kit, but supposed to be worth it if you start pushing alot of boost, and peace of mind for the rest of them. haven't heard if he got them ready yet.

The 6.0 tranny cooler also swaps over and is bigger as well
